Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) fans have a new reason to visit GameStop! The store is offering a free Snorlax card, but there’s a small condition. Players must spend $15 or more on Pokémon TCG products in stores to get this special promo card.
GameStop announced this giveaway to celebrate the release of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Journey Together on March 28. The free card is called Hop’s Snorlax, and it has two powerful moves. Its Extra Helpings ability adds 30 more damage to Snorlax’s attack before applying Weakness and Resistance. However, this effect does not stack if used multiple times. The card also features Dynamic Press, a move that deals 140 damage to the opponent but also causes Snorlax to take 80 damage itself. This special Snorlax card is exclusive to GameStop, meaning fans won’t find it anywhere else.

While this promotion sounds exciting, some Pokémon fans are facing issues. Many players claim their local GameStop stores are not honoring the deal. Some store employees are unaware of the promotion, while others say they do not have the Snorlax card in stock. This has led to frustration among fans, especially since Pokémon TCG products have been difficult to find in recent months. Many popular sets sell out quickly, often due to scalpers buying large amounts. Some fans have even decided to avoid shopping at GameStop until these issues are resolved.
The good news is that The Pokémon Company is aware of these stock problems. They have promised to increase production for future Pokémon TCG sets, ensuring more players get a chance to buy new cards. Additionally, they plan to reprint older card packs and boxes, which will be available at GameStop, Pokémon Center, and other major retailers soon.
For Pokémon TCG fans, this GameStop deal is a great opportunity to grab an exclusive Snorlax card. However, since GameStop hasn’t announced an end date for the promotion, players should visit their local stores as soon as possible before supplies run out.
