The Pokemon Trading Card Game has been no stranger to unique marketing tactics throughout the game's 26-year-long life. The Pokemon Company has experimented with plenty of different ideas from event-exclusive cards like the Pokemon Center UK's recent Special Delivery Charizard to the stickered Ditto cards with the Pokemon GO collaboration. The game's V-Union mechanic even tasks players with placing multiple cards together to form one giant powerful card. Now, the massively popular trading card game has revealed it will be getting into the Halloween spirit this September.The Pokemon franchise has often featured Halloween celebrations during the Fall season celebrating the long-running monster-catching series' spookiest creatures. Pokemon GO regularly runs Halloween events with higher spawn rates for Ghost Pokemon and Pokemon Unite added Halloween cosmetics for its first spooky season. With a plethora of ghostly creatures to highlight, the Pokemon Trading Card Game has now revealed it will release an exclusive Halloween-themed card set this year titled "Trick or Trade."RELATED: Pokemon TCG Player Uses Jumbo-Sized Deck at TournamentPokemon's newly announced "BOOster Bundle" will feature a variety of the franchise's most ghostly creatures in an exclusive limited-time set. The booster set was confirmed to include several Ghost Pokemon from each generation like Gengar, Mimikyu, and Polteageist. The Halloween set is scheduled to launch on September 1 with fans looking to give out Pokemon packs for trick-or-treaters able to buy a package of 40 mini-packs. Packs within the bundle will include three cards and will be available both in stores and through the Pokemon Center website.

Pokemon's Halloween-themed bundles come as the most recent in a string of collaborative efforts from the card game throughout the past few years. The Pokemon Trading Card Game's recent Pokemon GO collaboration brought a plethora of new cards to the game with references to core mechanics of the mobile game like PokeStops. Pokemon and McDonald's are rumored to be collaborating once again in the near future as well. The popularity of Pokemon's previous event with the fast food chain even caused cards from the event to quickly go into short supply due to high demand from fans.

A new Pokemon Trading Card Game seasonal event will serve to ring in what looks to be a busy Fall for the iconic franchise. Pokemon is set to release its next generation of video games during the holiday season with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet set to debut in November. Pokemon GO's ongoing "Season of GO" is also set to end on September 1 with the final season of 2022 likely starting shortly after its conclusion. With new games, new cards, and the current anime season seeming to be building to a climax, Fall will look to be an exciting time for Pokemon fans.
