Pokémon Halloween BOOster Bundle Set List and Guide (updated for 2023)

If you’re looking for the 2024 Trick or Trade cards, go here.

It’s already been a full year and we’re seeing the Pokémon Halloween BOOster Bundle back on store shelves again! This small set is a fun treat (or trick?) for kids, meant to be handed out on Halloween in lieu of candy. Usually, a new set of Pokémon cards has a chase card or one card that is worth some real cash, but this set is different.

2023

All 30 Cards in the Set

This year’s BOOster Bundle contains a whopping 50 booster packs each containing 3 cards. This is a step up from last year’s bundle, which contained 40 packs. Each pack will guarantee a holo.

However, every card will feature a Pikachu stamp that is stylized as a pumpkin. This stamp is very similar to the 2021 Celebrations Pikachu stamp, but Halloween-themed.

Just like last year, the set contains 30 cards, 10 of which are holofoils. The cards feature ghost-type Pokémon, some other spooky Pokémon, and of course, Pikachu. 

Each of the 30 cards is a reprint and does not have a unique set number, but rather their original set number.

Here is the full setlist in no particular order

• Pikachu
• Lycanroc
• Mimikyu
• Zubat
• Lampent
• Polteageist
• Gengar
• Houndstone
• Haunter
• Spectrier
• Galarian Runerigus
• Chandelure
• Houndoom
• Phantump
• Trevenant
• Litwick
• Dusknoir
• Banette
• Duskull
• Drifblim
• Marshadow
• Dusclops
• Mismagius
• Murkrow
• Shuppet
• Greavard
• Drifloon
• Sinistea
• Gastly

It is possible to complete the set by opening just one bag, myself having completed the set after 22 packs. If you are lucky, you might be able to complete two sets from a BOOster Bundle. 

Are the Cards or Packs Valuable? 

Right now in September 2023, it’s easy to find a BOOster Bundle for MSRP. The product isn’t in demand and the supply isn’t low, so right now the packs are very low value. You can buy a single pack for $1 on eBay.

The cards themselves are not valuable, and most of the holo cards are floating around the $0.30-$0.75 range. 

The most valuable cards of the set are

• Lycanroc- $1.00
• Mimikyu- $0.99
• Zubat- $0.75

Is the 2023 BOOster Bundle A Smart Investment?

This year we have the benefit of seeing how the 2022 BOOster Bundle is selling after a year on the market. Long story short, not good. 

Even today, we’re seeing the 2022 product next to the newly released 2023 product. This indicates that supply is heavily outweighing demand.

Given the nature of this BOOster Bundle, it’s simply not going to be a smart investment. None of the cards are valuable, and aside from keeping a pack or two for display purposes, nothing holds any value. 

For a product like this to be investable, it’s going to take 10+ years to gain any significant value.

Are the Cards or Packs Valuable? 

As of today (November 04, 2022) a sealed bag of BOOster packs is selling for $30-$45 on eBay, which is kind of crazy. This price will drop fast as supply increases and demand falls. This product will probably hover right above the MSRP price of $15-$20 after a few more weeks.

To buy the BOOster packs individually, they are currently selling for about $1-2/pack. Again, this price will probably drop as more cards hit the market. 

The cards themselves are not valuable, and most of the holo cards are floating around the $0.50-$0.75 range. 

Is the 2022 BOOster Bundle A Smart Investment?

The short answer is no.

The Pokémon Company International (TPCI) understands the market better than anyone, and they invented this product for children. 

The cards aren’t inherently cool by any means, and none are rare. This means that demand will be very low after the initial release. Low demand means low prices. 

This Halloween set is similar in nature to the recent 2022 McDonald’s Collection. It is a small set, with no rare cards. TPCI created these sets in a way that is appealing to children, but not desirable to adult collectors. This effectively lowers the scalping market and makes the cards available for the younger audience, which is really cool. 

However…

Just to play the devil’s advocate, picking up a bag or two of the BOOster Bundle cards could turn out to be a good investment, in the long term. I mean 10+ years. 

No doubt this product will be sought after in a decade, but that can be said for almost all Pokémon card products. If you are looking to make a profit, be prepared to store a bag of cards for a decade. 

Final Thoughts

For years now I’ve been handing out Pokémon cards for Halloween. What else do you do with all of the bulk lying around? But it’s super cool to see TPCI actually catching on to this trend and spreading it across the world. This is a fun product, but what’s really cool about it is that you can complete the set very easily and still have packs left over for Halloween.
