When do Cyber Monday Pokemon card deals start?

This year's Cyber Monday Pokemon card deals are due to take place a little later than normal. To be precise, they'll kick off on December 2 rather than in November.

However, it's worth noting that these discounts aren't limited to a single day. As with November's Black Friday sale, Cyber Monday deals start as soon as Black Friday is over and usual continue later into the week.

Cyber Monday Pokemon card retailers to watch this year

The team and I have been covering Cyber Monday Pokemon card deals for quite some time, so we've got a pretty solid idea of how the sale operates. Here's what we think is going to happen this year.

🏫 Battle Academy always goes on offer
The Pokemon Battle Academy starter set is always being reduced, and I don't expect that to change during Cyber Monday. Keep an eye on it this December if you're a newcomer to the game.

🎁 Elite Trainer and booster boxes will lead the charge
Boxsets like Elite Trainer packs or Booster roundups usually get the lion's share of savings during any sale; in fact, you don't tend to see individual blisters being reduced in most Cyber Monday Pokemon card deals (GameStop has been one of the few exceptions, as it offered a very generous discount on a second product if you bought any Pokemon cards during Black Friday).

❌ There's going to be a lot of third-party roundups
Beware, you'll be fed a lot of crap on the likes of Amazon if you just search 'Pokemon cards.' The digital shelves suddenly become buried in third-party accessories like card holders or random card roundups that feel too good to be true, so proceed with caution.
