In October 2023, while shopping in Hawaii, I came across the Pokémon Trading Card Game Trick or Trade 2023 set at Target. I hadn’t heard of these cards before, and the $20 USD price tag caught me by surprise, so naturally, I decided to buy them.
The Trick or Trade 2023 set includes 30 cards, sold as a multipack of mini booster packs, each containing three cards. The featured Pokémon are chosen to match the Halloween theme, showcasing spooky or macabre elements drawn from the Sword & Shield through Paldea Evolved expansions. While the cards keep their original set numbers, they are marked with a Pikachu jack-o’-lantern stamp in the bottom right corner of the artwork.
Here are a few of my personal favorite cards from this set.
