Pokémon TCG Pitch Black Set Hits Shelves, but Target Stores Left Customers Empty-Handed
The Pokémon Trading Card Game's highly anticipated Pitch Black set officially launched on July 17, 2026, bringing a wave of Darkrai-themed cards to players both in print and digitally via Pokémon TCG Live. However, the launch day excitement was quickly dampened for many fans who headed to their local Target stores, only to find empty shelves where the new product should have been. Reports from customers across the country suggest the distribution issues are widespread, spanning multiple regions rather than isolated pockets.
