According to pokemongolive.com, a special in-game event is being held to commemorate the release of the highly anticipated Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) expansion, Prismatic Evolutions. This expansion has captured the attention of collectors and players alike, creating a surge in demand. As a result, stock shortages and high prices due to scalping have made it challenging for fans to get their hands on this coveted set.
To enhance the celebration, Pokemon GO has partnered with select retailers, transforming their locations into in-game PokeStops. From February 1, 2025, to February 27, 2025, players visiting participating retailers can enjoy a unique Pokemon GO experience.
Participating Retailers
Here’s the list of participating stores where players can join the event:
- United States: Best Buy, GameStop, and Target
- Canada: GameStop and Toys “R” Us
- Australia: EB Games
At these locations, in-game PokeStops will be equipped with active Lure Modules, attracting more Pokemon to appear nearby. Additionally, there’s a chance that some stores will feature specialized Glacial or Mossy Lure Modules, which can attract specific Pokemon types. Whether you’re a seasoned Trainer or new to Pokemon GO, this is a fantastic opportunity to discover and catch more Pokemon in a fun, collaborative setting.
