What a week for Pokémon TCG collectors! Chaos Rising officially dropped yesterday (May 22), and the community has been going absolutely wild. Preorders started rolling in strong on Friday, and a ton of you out there got your allocations... whether it was booster boxes, ETBs, or those coveted Pokémon Center exclusives.
