Published 14 October 2026 · Atlas Division

Special Pikachu promo card and interactive booths coming to the festival.

Pokémon is set to participate in the Lucca Comics & Games festival from 28 October to 1 November 2026. Located at Palestra Bacchettoni in the Walled City, the Pokémon booth will host various activities ranging from gaming demonstrations to character meet and greets.

Attendees can visit the Play Lab to learn the fundamentals of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, where players can receive a mini deck to take home. The festival will also feature video game demo stations for Pokémon Champions and information regarding the mobile game Pokémon TCG Pocket.

For competitive players, a dedicated booth will provide details on the Play! Pokémon program, including how to find a League and register for tournaments. Additionally, the event includes LEGO Pokémon displays, a Pokémon × Dolly Noire pop-up, and a Pokémon store featuring accessories and plush items.

A special Pikachu promo card celebrating Lucca's 60th anniversary will be available for ticketed attendees. This card, which features a Lucca logo stamp, can be collected by scanning a badge at the Pokémon booth or designated redemption points. For those unable to attend, the promo card will also be available at participating Play! Pokémon Stores while supplies last.
