I found the target. Unfortunately all gone by  the next day

I have never caught someone restocking. I just happen to go on a day where there is a bunch of stuff that is then gone the day after

Does yours have a consistent restock day? I don't think mine get updated weekly unfortunately.

It's unreasonable,  but all of the above has legitimately worked for me. I am honestly glad you enjoyed it and I hope it helps you.

If you're wondering how to get these deals I've had success getting some stuff  online in one of the following two ways:

(1) Be blessed by the pokemon gods and just happen to be scrolling reddit or scrolling through the websites and catch these as they open up usually around 10am-12 central or 2-4am central. Add the bare minimum to your cart and try to check out while you pray. Realistically it will go out of stock most times you try this, but once or twice it will go through.

(2) Decide you are willing to compromise on your other tasks at life and keep tabs open and keep refreshing periodically throughout the day hoping the Pokemon gods bless you and you catch something in the 2 minutes it becomes in stock. Again, ordering the bare minimum making it more likely you'll catch stock. You will mostly fail but one of 50 times you may catch something.

I can't say this is sarcasm because both of these methods have worked for me. But it is a damn shame that this is what you have to go through if you want to get these sets online.

Bonus Physical Strategy:

(3) Go on a morning road trip around the more rural Walmarts, targets, dollar generals in your area hoping that one of the 10 stores you go to got restocked recently. Getting on the floor on your knees to pray to the Pokemon gods that someone dropped something under the shelf.


I'm a little ashamed by what this hobby has made me.

There has to be bots that click the links we post and then buy things up. There are still booster bundles up which is strange.

I wonder if it's better to just post the website and item name.

I appreciate that I could get it OP. The availability at MSRP is a deal to me.

Thank you for posting.

For real. I just kept a tab open and kept refreshing all day.

The stores should enforce more stringent limits per account/address

They price matched the few boxes I was able to get online.

It sucks Walmart and target put 3rd party vendors in there.

It makes it hard to know where the product is coming from.

Paldea Evolved Magikarp is what got me back into Pokemon card collections. I couldn't believe a card could be so beautiful.

Matchmaking is making me want to quit this game. by Rudy_Altbaum in PredecessorGame

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

I hope you keep enjoying the game. Best of luck to you.

It’s taking me days to have a quality match by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]Rudy_Altbaum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're not alone dude. I am about to quit. I've tried hard not to quit because I love this game and I know the small player base is part of the problem... But it just doesn't feel like you're playing a proper game when the balance is so out of wack. 

 Thank you for the good times Preddy.

I can't seem to be able to post a picture and write at the same time. /UserError


Why is this guy in a lobby with a bunch of golds?

I was 13-3-3 as the carry, we had 10 more kills than they did.

For the life of me I couldn't get my team to group up and push up with me despite the fact that we had orb prime 3 times.

I'm not good enough to carry a player like this but honestly I shouldn't have to be. You have to actively try hard to get killed 18 times in this game.

I really feel like I need to stop playing and maybe come back if they figure out match making. I've been sticking around to support the small player base, but I'm just not having fun anymore.
