The short list

  1. Pokémon Center — First-party exclusives and the newest sets, but the hardest sellouts.
  2. Walmart — Frequent restocks in waves, sharp prices, pickup and delivery.
  3. Target — Regular Pokémon drops; carts quickly with QuickCatch.
  4. Best Buy — Restocks bigger sealed product like UPCs and SPCs.
  5. Costco and Sam's Club — Bundles at sharp prices when they land online.
  6. GameStop — Exclusives and trade-in deals on sealed product.

Why it beats refreshing

Stores that carry the hottest sets block bots, so a normal AI assistant cannot reach the page when stock returns. QuickCatch runs in your own browser and your own logged-in session, so it reaches the same pages you do. It watches the page you opened and adds the item to your cart the second stock flips, which is the part everyone else loses the race on.
