We are officially ONLY THREE DAYS AWAY from the show!!

We hope you all are just as excited as we are for this Sunday! Make sure to keep spreading the word and sharing the show with your friends, family, and fellow collectors!

Our goal is to make this event even BIGGER than the last one — with more vendors, more giveaways, more activities, and even more for everyone to enjoy at Pocket Monster Showdown!

We seriously can’t wait to see you all there this Sunday in Bloomington! 🎉

05/13/2026

We wanted to give another HUGE shoutout to two of our amazing sponsors for this Sunday’s show — OneNDunn Cards and DB in 3D! Both bring an incredible selection of Pokémon collectibles while specializing in two completely different sides of the hobby, making them must-stop booths during the event.

It’s because of sponsors like these that we’re able to bring Bloomington a top-tier collector experience, and we seriously can’t wait for everyone to see what we have planned this weekend! If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the event page and let us know you’re coming.

Alongside our sponsors, we’ll also have 65+ vendors packed with something for every kind of collector — from singles and slabs to sealed product, custom creations, accessories, and more. And trust us… we still have a few surprises left to reveal 👀

🚨 PACK DRIVE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

As we head into the final week before the show, we’re excited to officially announce our community Pack Drive happening this Sunday!

We will have a designated donation station set up at the event where attendees can donate any sealed Pokémon packs or products. All donated items will be given to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington - Ferguson Crestmont Club to help bring some excitement to kids in our local community.

Pocket Monster Showdown wanted to find a way to give back to the kids who love Pokémon just as much as we do, and we figured there was no better way than sharing the hobby with as many young collectors as possible.

Any sealed packs or sealed Pokémon products are welcome and can be dropped off at the donation table located near the front entrance throughout the event.

We can’t wait to see everyone on Sunday, and we’re excited to work together as a community to donate as many packs as possible!

🚨 FOOD TRUCK ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

We’re excited to officially welcome back one of the fan-favorite vendors from our October show… Pin’t Up Energy!! ⚡️

If you attended our last event, then you already know these guys were an absolute smash hit! From custom Pokémon-themed drinks to crowd-favorite dirty sodas, lemonades, and sweet teas, they kept everybody fueled up all day long. (Pretty sure I personally went back for 3 or 4 drinks myself 😅)

Pin’t Up Energy will once again be serving up incredible drinks all show long, including some brand new Pokémon-inspired creations we can’t wait for you all to try!

Make sure to stop by, grab a drink, and stay energized while you explore the show floor.
