Marking the three‑decade milestone of the Pokémon franchise, POW! The Shop is orchestrating two high‑profile collector events on the island of Cyprus. The gatherings, scheduled for November 8 and November 21, will take place at Mall of Cyprus in Nicosia and My Mall Limassol respectively, and are designed to facilitate card exchanges, introduce newcomers to the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), and showcase exclusive promotional items.
Event logistics and operational overview
Both venues have been selected for their capacity to accommodate large foot traffic while providing controlled environments for safe trading activities. Dedicated zones will be set up for:
- Card verification by qualified specialists, ensuring authenticity and preventing the circulation of counterfeit items.
- Educational sessions on the TCG, led by experienced players who will cover basic rules and strategic concepts.
- Family‑friendly areas where younger attendees receive small gifts and limited‑edition promo cards.
To maintain a smooth flow, the events will enforce a strict no‑reseller policy, limiting participation to genuine collectors and hobbyists.
Mall of Cyprus – Nicosia (8 November 2026)
Location: Square 2, Mall of Cyprus
Time: 14:00 – 19:00
The Nicosia venue will serve as the inaugural gathering, offering ample space for card swaps and a structured schedule of TCG tutorials. Logistics teams have coordinated with mall management to allocate dedicated loading docks for the timely delivery of promotional stock.
My Mall Limassol – Limassol (21 November 2026)
Location: My Mall Limassol

The Limassol event will replicate the Nicosia format, with additional focus on community networking. Final timings will be released once venue preparations are confirmed.
Stakeholder benefits
For retailers, the events represent an opportunity to showcase supply‑chain efficiency by moving high‑value collectible inventory directly to end‑users. For collectors, the presence of experts aids in valuation and preservation of cards, potentially influencing market pricing trends across the region.
