Pokémon TCG Halloween events in China give winners a Duskull promo
The 'Ghosts in the Mysterious Night' events reportedly run October 26 to November 25, 2026 in China, with the Temporal Forces Duskull illustration card as the prize.
The Pokémon Company is running Halloween-themed Pokémon TCG events in China under the title "Ghosts in the Mysterious Night", according to the German fan site PokéZentrum. They reportedly take place from October 26 to November 25, 2026, and the winners receive a Duskull illustration card.
No official announcement is cited, so the details below are reported, not confirmed.
How the events work
Each event is reportedly played over three to five rounds and needs at least eight players.
The winner receives one Duskull promo card. The other seven players can enter a draw, and one of them, picked at random, wins a second copy. No more than four promo cards are handed out per event.
The promo card
The card is an illustration of Duskull with Haunter, Gengar and Meowth: a gang of Duskull, Haunter and Gengar roams the town at midnight while Meowth hides in a doorway.
Not a new card
The artwork is already known outside China. The card was first released internationally in March 2024 in the Temporal Forces expansion, where it is one of the most sought-after cards of the set. PokéZentrum puts its current value at around €50 to €100 in Germany.
The China events are therefore a new way to win an existing, already valuable card, not a new release.
Other Halloween and event news
TCGKing has also covered the Korean League 2027 accessories with a Halloween-style "Spooky Flame" line, and the Puebla Regionals stream in Latin American Spanish.
What is still unknown
The sources do not name host cities or stores, and they do not say whether the promo will be handed out anywhere outside China.
What it means for players and collectors
- The events reportedly run from October 26 to November 25, 2026, in China only.
- Each event needs at least eight players and gives out four promo cards at most.
- The card is the Temporal Forces Duskull illustration from March 2024, not a new design, so its supply grows slightly with these events.
