Save the date: October 17, 2026. Santa Cruz Skateboards and Pokémon TCG are joining forces once again for a collaboration set to get skaters, fans and collectors seriously excited.
Celebrating 30 years of Pokémon, two icons of skate and pop culture come together in a new limited-edition collection packed with skateboard decks, legendary graphics and ultra-rare variants waiting to be discovered.
And yes, the format that makes the whole experience even more exciting is back. The decks come sealed inside a Blind Bag, meaning you won't know which graphic you've got until you open it.
30 Pokémon TCG Cards Become Santa Cruz Skateboard Decks
At the heart of the new Santa Cruz x Pokémon TCG Collection is a series of skateboard decks inspired by 30 iconic Pokémon TCG cards, celebrating three decades of Pokémon history.
Santa Cruz and Pokémon worked together to bring original card artwork into all-new deck designs, incorporating distinctive elements from the Pokémon Trading Card Game, including Energy types and visual themes inspired by the Pokémon and cards themselves.
The result? A collection where authentic skate DNA meets one of the most recognizable worlds in pop culture.
Blind Bag: Which Pokémon Will You Get?
This is where things get even more exciting.
Each package contains one Santa Cruz 8.0" x 31.6" skateboard deck randomly selected from the collection. The Pokémon card graphic inside your Blind Bag remains a mystery until you tear it open.
There are 30 different designs to discover.
But that's not all.
Three Ultra-Rare Gold Glitter Chase Variants
Hidden among the Blind Bags are 3 special Gold Glitter Chase Variants, featuring eye-catching collages made up of different international versions of Pokémon TCG cards.
And this is where the hunt gets serious: each of the three variants is limited to just 500 pieces worldwide.
Three ultra-limited decks destined to become some of the most sought-after pieces in the entire drop.
Every Blind Bag Includes a Pokémon Player's Guide
Each skateboard deck also comes with a special Limited Edition Pokémon Player's Guide created for the collaboration.
Inside you'll find all 30 deck designs plus the 3 chase variants, making the Blind Bag experience even more connected to the world of Pokémon collecting.
More Than Just Skateboard Decks
The Santa Cruz x Pokémon TCG collaboration doesn't stop at skateboards. The collection also includes a selection of apparel and griptape, featuring graphics designed to bring together Santa Cruz heritage and the unmistakable Pokémon TCG universe.
It's a capsule collection made for skaters, Pokémon collectors and, most of all, anyone who belongs to both worlds.
Santa Cruz x Pokémon TCG Release Date: October 17, 2026
