It's happening again. The Pokémon TCG: Blooming Waters Premium Collection is back at Best Buy; this time, you don't have to throw down on Costco palettes to get it. Instead, it's an app-exclusive drop, meaning you need to download the Best Buy Mobile App, turn on notifications, and act fast.

With Venusaur ex, Blastoise ex, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle all making an appearance in foil form (plus a massive jumbo Blastoise ex to flex with), this is an essential pickup for collectors. You're also getting 12 booster packs, so you've got real chances at pulling some Scarlet & Violet 151 gold.

Speaking of 151, some of the set's biggest hits pair perfectly with this collection. Special Illustration Rare Venusaur ex has been creeping up in price thanks to its stunning vibrant artwork and annoyingly effective Ability that keeps your team in top shape.

Then there's Blastoise ex, a straight-up powerhouse with damage negation and a scalable attack that only gets better the more Energy you dump into it. If you somehow pull Charizard ex (Special Illustration Rare) you might as well start feeling smug now as it's one of the most valuable cardfs in the set. It features incredible volcanic artwork and is just as dominant in play as in collector circles. And don't sleep on Charmander and Squirtle's Illustration Rares, which continue the Pokémon TCG tradition of making Gen I starters ridiculously valuable.
