Thirteen MLB teams host Pokemon GO Nights in 2026, each offering exclusive Mystic, Valor, and Instinct merch
White Sox Pokemon GO jerseys already resell for $100 to $200 while Brewers hats trade near $50
Every Pokemon GO Night requires a separate special event ticket, not a gate giveaway

Pokemon GO and MLB are running it back for a second season, and this time the secondary market already has receipts. A long list of ballparks are hosting their own themed nights between July and September, each handing out co-branded Mystic, Valor, and Instinct gear to anyone willing to buy a special ticket package. We already watched the White Sox and Brewers prove these things move, and now resellers have a full schedule to plan around instead of guessing. If you’ve got a stadium on this list within driving distance, the math on these tickets is worth doing before the good ones disappear.

Pokemon GO Baseball Jerseys and Hats

Pokemon GO and Major League Baseball have teamed up for multiple seasons now, with club-branded PokeStops and Gyms running at every ballpark all year. The collaboration has grown with each go-around, picking up more participating teams.

The themed nights are the part that matters for flipping. Each participating team sells a limited special event ticket that comes bundled with co-branded gear tied to one of the three in-game factions, so the same item exists in three different color schemes depending on which Pokemon GO team gets printed on it.

That built-in variant chase is part of why the White Sox and Brewers releases already have resale traction. Jerseys have outperformed hats so far, which tracks with most other reseller-driven sports merch drops.

Here’s the full 2026 schedule, in order:

Cleveland Guardians, Thursday, July 2, t-shirts
Baltimore Orioles, Tuesday, August 4, jerseys
Miami Marlins, Friday, August 7, jerseys
Arizona Diamondbacks, Tuesday, August 11, hats
Texas Rangers, Saturday, August 22, hats
New York Mets, Tuesday, August 25, jerseys
San Francisco Giants, Thursday, August 27, Pokemon Worlds Night
Washington Nationals, Sunday, August 30, hats
Tampa Bay Rays, Sunday, September 13, jerseys
Seattle Mariners, Tuesday, September 22, jerseys
Boston Red Sox, Friday, September 25, jerseys

More details on the Giants’ Pokemon Worlds Night below

The Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers have already held their games on June 8 and June 17 respectively. The White Sox gave away jerseys and the Brewers handed out hats.

This gives us an early look at what MLB-branded Pokemon GO collab merch is reselling for. The White Sox Pokemon GO jerseys are landing between $120 and $200, while the Brewers’ Pokemon GO caps are hovering right around $50.

The worst case here is mild. Hats will cover at least part of your tickets, and jerseys are likely to cover the entire cost. Best case, jerseys clear two to three times face value the way the White Sox release did, and you’re walking out of the ballpark ahead (as long as you skipped the concessions line).

How Resellers Should Approach This?

Fanbase size has been the clearest signal so far, and it should keep holding. The Red Sox, Mariners, Mets, and Orioles jerseys look like the strongest bets on raw market size alone, all of them attached to teams with deep, nationwide collector bases that show up for any co-branded drop.

San Francisco is the wild card. The Giants are pairing their night with the 2026 Pokemon World Championships, which puts a Worlds-specific Pikachu jersey in play instead of the standard faction gear every other team is running. That kind of crossover with the actual competitive Pokemon scene, not just the mobile game, is the sort of thing that pulls in buyers who don’t normally touch baseball merch at all. Local resellers should keep an eye on that page specifically, since additional tickets sometimes open closer to the date.

Eleven shots at this between now and late September gives resellers more room to be selective than a one-off drop would. Lean toward the bigger market teams and the Giants’ Worlds crossover if you’re in the area.
