What's inside Pokémon Pitch Black (ME05)

  • Set size. 120 cards: 84 main-set cards plus 36 secret rares, the tightest checklist of the Mega Evolution block.
  • Six Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. Mega Darkrai ex, Mega Zeraora ex, Mega Chandelure ex, Mega Excadrill ex, Mega Delphox ex, and Mega Slowbro ex, plus four standard Pokémon ex.
  • Chase cards. The Mega Darkrai ex Special Illustration Rare, illustrated by Akira Egawa, leads the set, followed by the Mega Zeraora ex and Gwynn Special Illustration Rares and the Mega Darkrai ex Hyper Rare at card 120.
  • Rarity spread. 11 Illustration Rares, 18 Ultra Rares, and six Special Illustration Rares across Pokémon and Trainer cards.
  • Origin. A near 1:1 adaptation of Japan's Abyss Eye (May 22, 2026) with three Gym promo additions, and the first main set drawn from the Mega Dimension DLC of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
  • Pack contents. 10 cards, 1 Basic Energy, and 1 Pokémon TCG Live code card per pack. Retail booster boxes hold 36 packs.

Why Pitch Black vends

  • Current-set demand. Pitch Black is the main-series expansion on shelves until Delta Reign (ME06) arrives on November 6, 2026, so buyers are actively hunting it now.
  • Impulse-tier price point. At its suggested vend price it fills the entry row of a machine, the button that turns a first-time customer into a repeat one, while chase sets hold the $20-plus rows.
  • Recognizable art. Darkrai, Zeraora, and Chandelure pack fronts read from across a store aisle, which matters in grocery, arcade, and convenience placements.
  • Deep secret-rare slate. 36 secret rares in a 120-card set keep the pull odds interesting on every visit, which drives the repeat buying that carries Pokémon vending routes.
  • Standard pack, standard coil. The 10-card English booster drops cleanly through the 22mm coil in a top-loader case. No oversized product, no custom tray.

Top-loader cases: why Pitch Black packs are a perfect fit for VTM Pokémon vending machines

A sealed booster pack is light, flexible, and foil-cornered, the wrong shape for any spiral coil on its own. VTM solved that with a rigid top-loader vending case, a clear acrylic sleeve sized to the 22mm coil pitch that turns each Pitch Black pack into a uniform unit the precision coil can push and the product pusher can keep feeding forward.

  • Protects corners and edges through the drop, so every pack arrives display-grade.
  • Crystal-clear, UV-resistant acrylic keeps the Mega Darkrai ex, Zeraora, and Chandelure pack art visible through the glass.
  • Reusable across restocks. One 50-pack ($22, about 44 cents per case) runs a single machine for months.
  • Sized for standard 10-card English packs like Pitch Black, and also fits Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, and Yu-Gi-Oh! packs.

Built for VTM Pokémon vending machines

Every VTM Pokémon vending machine, from the $2,850 Mini TCG to the $5,000 Slim Tower 2.0, runs the same 22mm coil, top-loader case, and product pusher system, so a Pitch Black pack loads the same way in a wall unit at a gas station or a floor tower in a grocery aisle. Machines ship with Nayax VPOS Touch cashless payment, US-hosted VTM software and a mobile app with remote restart, live inventory and pricing control from your phone, and a 1-year warranty, and they deliver to all 50 states.

How many cards are in a Pitch Black booster pack?

Each Pitch Black booster pack contains 10 cards, plus 1 Basic Energy and 1 Pokémon TCG Live code card.

What are the chase cards in Pitch Black?

The Mega Darkrai ex Special Illustration Rare is the top pull. The Mega Zeraora ex and Gwynn Special Illustration Rares and the Mega Darkrai ex Hyper Rare at card 120 round out the chase list, with Mega Chandelure ex and Mega Excadrill ex among the six Mega Evolution Pokémon ex in the set.

When did Pitch Black release and how big is the set?

Pitch Black (set code ME05) released in English on July 17, 2026 as the fifth Mega Evolution expansion. It contains 120 cards, 84 in the main set plus 36 secret rares, and is based on the Japanese Abyss Eye set.

Are these Pitch Black packs sealed and authentic?

Yes. Every pack is guaranteed authentic, sealed, and shipped exactly as received. Nothing is weighed, searched, resealed, or hand-picked, so the full manufacturer pull odds reach your machine. Orders ship from Cleveland, Ohio.

Is there a minimum order for wholesale Pitch Black packs?

No. There are no case minimums and no distributor application. Order a single pack to test a row or a few hundred for a full restock. Licensed resellers can submit a resale certificate to buy tax-free.

What should I vend Pitch Black at in a machine?

Suggested vend follows the VTM stocking formula: (wholesale price x 1.20) + $5, rounded up to the nearest dollar. The Operator Economics grid at the top of this page shows the result at the current listed price. Adjust to local demand; current sets support strong price tolerance.

Will Pitch Black packs fit a VTM Pokémon vending machine?

Yes. The standard 10-card English pack rides the 22mm coil in a top-loader case in every VTM trading card machine: Mini TCG, Slim Wall TCG, Mega Wall 2.0 TCG, and Slim Tower 2.0 TCG.

Do I need a top-loader case for every pack?

Yes. A loose booster pack is too light and flexible to vend reliably on a coil. The VTM top-loader vending case gives each pack a rigid, uniform shape, protects the corners through the drop, and is reusable across restocks. Cases are sold in 50-packs for $22.

Do I need a VTM Vending machine to buy at this price?

Yes. Wholesale Pokémon pricing is reserved for VTM Vending machine customers. No business license is required to order. If you do not have a machine yet, shop Pokémon vending machines at VTM Vending or contact the team to get set up.

How it vends

22mm coil, product pusher, top-loader case

VTM machines do not need an elevator or a robotic arm to deliver cards. A specialized 22mm coil paired with a rigid top-loader pack case does the job, and a product pusher keeps the row feeding forward. Traditional trading card kiosks move product with robotic arms or elevator systems and run $10,000 to $20,000 before you vend a single pack. VTM engineered a purpose-built coil that relies on proven spiral vending, so the lineup runs $2,850 to $5,000.

The same coil, case, and pusher system is sized to each machine's tray. Wall-mounted machines come with a mounting bracket and hardware and can also be bolted to a pedestal stand to stand on the floor. Machines ship unwrapped; TCG wraps are sold separately at VTM Vending.

Operator questions

Running a VTM machine

Do I need a license to operate a Pokémon vending machine?
No. Pokémon trading card products are unregulated consumer goods. You do not need age verification, special licensing, or franchise approval, which makes card vending far simpler than age-restricted categories like vape or alcohol. If you can run a vending route, you can run Pokémon vending.
Is it legal to sell Pokémon cards from a vending machine?
Yes. Under the United States First Sale Doctrine, the lawful purchaser of a genuine product can resell it through any legal retail channel without permission from the brand owner. Sealed product bought through legitimate channels can be resold on shelves, in kiosks, and in vending machines.
Can I manage Pitch Black pricing remotely?
Yes. VTM Software gives you real-time sales, inventory, and pricing control from any device. You can change the vend price of Pitch Black, see which rows are running low, pull revenue reports, and track several locations without visiting a machine.
What payment methods do VTM machines accept?
Every machine ships with Nayax VPOS Touch payment hardware that accepts credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash. Payment processing costs 3.5% plus 20¢ per transaction, with real-time reporting through Nayax and VTM Software.
How much does it cost to run a VTM machine per month?
The software is free for the first 3 months, then $29 per machine per month. You also pay location commission (typically 10% of revenue), payment processing (3.5% plus 20¢ per transaction), and a small amount of electricity. The machine itself you own outright.
Where do Pokémon vending machines perform best?
High-foot-traffic locations with a mix of impulse buyers and collectors: gas stations, convenience stores, arcades, bowling alleys, family entertainment centers, hobby shops, and mall kiosks. Locations with younger customers and families tend to outperform a standard convenience store.
