Pokémon Aura Seeker lottery opens Nov. 6—check your entry category

Tomorrow, Nov. 6, Pokémon Center Online opens its additional purchase lottery for the Japanese Pokémon Card Game expansion Aura Seeker. Entries run from 16:00 that day until Nov. 10 at 16:59, with all times in JST. Before applying, check your Players Club identity-verification status: it determines which entry category you must use.

Delivery is limited to addresses within Japan.

Verified entrants need matching account emails

The identity-verified category requires Players Club identity verification using a My Number card. Members who have already completed it do not need to repeat it. Most winning places are allocated to this category, though verification does not guarantee selection.

Winners in this category can pay by credit card or at a convenience store.

Your registered email addresses on Pokémon Center Online and Players Club must match. See the official Pokémon Center Online notice for the application steps.

Pokémon Center Online uses the email registered when you complete your application, while Players Club uses the email registered when applications close. Uppercase and lowercase letters are treated as the same, but differences in dot placement or other characters count as a mismatch. A mismatch means you are treated as unverified and lose eligibility for the identity-verified category.

After matching the emails, do not change your Players Club email or delete your Players Club account until applications close. If you discover a mismatch after applying, consult the relevant FAQ linked from the official notice.

Without identity verification, start with the phone check

If you have not completed Players Club identity verification, first complete phone-number verification in Pokémon Center Online’s My Page, then choose the identity-unverified category. This phone check is separate from Players Club identity verification.

Winners in the identity-unverified category can pay by credit card only.

Use the category matching your actual status. It is not first come, first served.

Each person may enter once per lottery. Verified applicants entering the unverified category, or unverified applicants entering the verified category, are disqualified.

• Results: Nov. 17 from 15:00 onward.
• Order window: Nov. 17 at 15:00 through Nov. 24 at 16:59.
• Scheduled dispatch: Dec. 1–18, not an arrival window.

If selected, complete your order within the order window.

Convenience-store payment has a separate deadline from the order window above: payment is due within 4 days, including the order date. If payment is not made by that deadline, the order is automatically canceled. Once an order is placed, the payment method cannot be changed in either category.
