The world’s best-selling card game, in seven machines spread across the canton. It is the licence BoosterStop started with, the one with the most rails, and the one we restock most often.
Factory-sealed boosters, mostly in French, from The Pokémon Company’s official distributors. The current block is Mega Evolution, and the 30th-anniversary set, 30th Celebration, came out on 16 September with a Pikachu in every pack.
Each machine has several Pokémon rails, which lets us keep two or three sets side by side: the latest release, a recent set still in demand, and often a nostalgia set such as 151.
