Pokémon’s new Special Delivery Box from the Pokémon Center could be an exciting way to pick up a good bundle of merchandise, but it’s a much more confusing purchase than the average item available on the website. As the official onlinePokémonretail store, the Pokémon Center is constantly adding new games, plush toys, accessories, and more, recently debuting arange of Halloween items for 2024. The Special Delivery Box has just landed on the website, and it can only be pre-ordered for the moment, with the product set to ship in November.

The Special Delivery Box isn’t so much a new piece of merchandise as it is a new way to acquire some, bundling a variety of goods into one package. Considering the mystery box aspect of the product, locking in a pre-order will inherently come with some level of risk. Even so,a defined distribution of items and official examples of what can come inside provide a good lookat what anyPokémonSpecial Delivery box buyer can expect.

What 10 Items Are In Pokémon’s Special Delivery Box

The Mystery Box Isn’t A Complete Mystery

Each Special Delivery Box available from the Pokémon Center contains tenPokémonitems.These are selected from current or recent products on the site, so it doesn’t look like there will be any chance to get rare surprises from the back corners of the warehouse.

The box ships as standard cardboard packaging, but a reversible interior features a design of Pikachu delivering a gift. Anyone planning to give a Special Delivery Box as a present should turn it inside out upon arrival.

Where To Preorder The Special Delivery Box

The Pokémon Center Is Convenient For U.S. Customers

The Special Delivery Box can be pre-ordered from its product listing page on the officialPokémon Centerwebsite, whereit’s listed for $49.99, a price that’s charged upon shipment rather than up front.

For customers in the United States, the price should include shipping, as the threshold for free standard shipping is only $20.
