Alternatives to r/PKMNTikTokDeals

r/PKMNTikTokDeals is banned. When we checked on 7 November 2026, Reddit showed that the subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated. A November 2024 discussion in r/PKMNTCGDeals already noted the closure after the board filled with spammy TikTok Shop coupon posts. We know of no official successor. The open communities below still cover Pokemon TCG deals, collecting and hobby discussion — without treating TikTok click-farms as the default. Read each community's rules before posting.

Looks similar, but not a fit

r/TCGDeals — Also banned for spam when checked on 7 November 2026 — not a usable multi-TCG deals destination. (checked 2026-11-07)
r/PokemonGoDeals — Also banned for spam — and it targeted Pokemon GO, not the trading card game. (checked 2026-11-07)

TikTok Shop coupons change constantly and many deals were affiliate spam — that pattern is what communities complained about before the ban. None of these boards is an official successor, and scalping or auto-checkout tools are widely forbidden. Statuses come from the live community page on the check date; Reddit can lift or change a ban at any time. Updated 2026-11-07.
