When is the Tesco Pokémon drop?

The drop is reported for Black Friday, Friday 27 November 2026, at The Entertainer’s shops inside large Tesco stores. It isn’t confirmed by The Entertainer or Tesco yet, and the date and products can still change, so treat it as a heads-up, not a promise.

What’s dropping at Tesco on 27th November

Nine products are on the list. Every one of them is already out in the UK, so this is a restock rather than a new release.

A dash means we don’t have a UK RRP for it, and shops can charge differently. More on the sets: 30th Celebration and Pitch Black.

The limits: 1 big item and up to 5 Pitch Black items

There are two limits. You can buy 1 item in total from the first six products: the 30th Celebration Mini Tins, the Sylveon ex Box, the Greninja ex Box, the Sylveon ex Tin, the Greninja ex Tin and First Partner Illustration Collection Series 3.

Separately, you can buy up to 5 items in total from the three Pitch Black products: the Sleeved Booster, the Checklane and the Premium Checklane. So the most one person can take home is 6 items. Limits can be different in each store, so check with yours.

Which Tesco stores get the drop?

Only large Tesco stores with The Entertainer inside. A Tesco without an Entertainer shop won’t have it, and stock can differ from store to store.

Not sure if your Tesco has one? Ask at the customer service desk, or ring the store before you travel.
