A Pokémon Center in London? Yes, it's a real thing now! A Pop-Up store has been opened since Friday October 18, 2019 in the shopping centre Westfield London, in Shepherd's Bush. This Pop-Up store will run for 1 month and will close after Friday November 15, 2019.
Just 9 days after the launch of Hidden fates, a BGS 10 Black Label Shiny Charizard GX sold on eBay at an auction for $10.000. Now everyone is trying to go after Hidden Fates, opening packs hoping they can beat that 1 in 94 chance of getting Shiny Charizard GX. Hidden Fates is still selling out at some stores.
