Watch Argos for restocks, price drops, new listings and app-only exclusives. Standard plan ยท www.argos.co.uk
Good for
Argos restocks, price drops and new listings, including the products Argos only sells in its app. That is where a lot of Pokemon stock now drops first.
Ideal settings
To catch a new Pokemon set the moment Argos lists it, Delta Reign for example, choose Search or category, search for pokemon and turn on Trading cards only. You get a new product alert when it appears on Argos, then a first drop alert when delivery or Click & Collect opens.
Leave Trading cards only off and a pokemon search also brings back puzzles, T-shirts, LEGO, plush and Switch games, and each of those sends its own alerts.
Search for pokemon rather than the set's name. Argos search is loose, so delta reign also brings back EcoFlow Delta power stations. If you only want that one set, add Delta Reign under Only products with these words. That only catches products with the set name in their title, so leave it empty if you'd rather not risk missing one.
To watch one product, choose One product and paste its Argos link, or just the number at the end of it, such as 9917998.
Tip: Argos keeps sold-out products listed, so each alert says whether home delivery, Click & Collect or both have opened. If it's Click & Collect only, check the stores near you straight away.
Argos Drops, or the Argos Pokemon lottery
Some Pokemon products at Argos go to a draw rather than first come, first served. Argos calls it an Argos Drop, and collectors call it the Argos Pokemon lottery. You enter in the Argos app, signed in, from the product's own page. Once the entry window closes Argos picks the winners and sends each one a Golden Ticket to buy the product. If you weren't picked, Argos doesn't tell you.
An Argos monitor watches stock, so it can't enter a draw for you. Draws and invites lists the Argos Drops we know about and tells you when a new one opens, and our Argos Pokemon cards guide has the rules as Argos last published them.
