When it comes to Pokémon Cyber Monday deals, you're going to have a hard time finding any worthwhile discounts on the trading cards themselves. (I know because I've been looking for days, with the assistance of my Pokémon-collecting friend whom I appreciate very much for his help.) Any such discounts are few and far between, and sell out almost immediately thanks to our old friends, the scalpers (shakes fist). Check your local card shops for cards that aren't priced scarily high over MSRP. But if you're shopping for a Pokémon fan, there are still some Cyber Monday discounts worth perusing that'll make great gifts, and I've rounded them up below.
We haven't hand-tested everything in this list, but we know WIRED readers are searching for Pokémon gifts. For additional discounts on hand-tested gear, check our list of the very best Cyber Monday deals.
WIRED Featured Deals:
A Backpack Clip
Backpack clips and bag charms aren't going away any time soon. This little Pikachu Squishmallow can be clipped onto either, and might I say that it'd look mighty fine attached to a stocking on the morning of a certain holiday? I can attest to the clip's durability—I have a similar plush charm from the brand that I've toted to music festivals across the country. It's still going strong despite putting it through situations no keychain should be forced to endure.
