Pitch Black Premium Checklane

The premium checklane is the version with a foil promo card on top of the packs, and it lives by the tills in supermarkets and high street chains rather than being allocated to card shops. Availability is regional and inconsistent as a result, and the specialist retailers we sweep tend to take these in job lots rather than carrying them steadily, so they appear and disappear without much pattern. Pitch Black is the best set on this site for a short opening, because it is the smallest we track: 84 cards in the main run and 120 in total, so a few packs is a meaningful fraction rather than a gesture. Mega Darkrai ex is the card everyone is after, with Mega Zeraora ex and Mega Chandelure ex behind it. Released 17 July 2026.
