Pokémon restock alerts
Pokémon restock alerts that open the page for you.
A restock alert is only useful if you can act on it before the item sells out. SnagTabs sends real-time Pokémon TCG restock alerts and, if you run the Chrome extension, opens the product page itself — so the alert and the page arrive together.

How fast it is
On the realtime path, the median time from a restock signal to the product tab opening is 0.77 seconds, measured over a 30-day sample of real extension telemetry. About 15% of alerts fall back to polling, which has a 3.8-second median.
Where the alerts come from
- Online restocks and queue drops at Target, Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club and Pokémon Center, from a licensed commercial monitoring feed.
- In-store restocks from automated monitors at Walgreens, Dollar General, Academy, plus reports from collectors in the community — shown on the Local Radar map.
- Pokémon is the main focus; One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! restocks come through the same feed, each with its own Discord channels.
How an alert reaches you
- Live Restocks on the website — the real-time feed itself, filterable by retailer.
- Drop Launcher, the SnagTabs Chrome extension — arm one retailer and it opens the product or queue page in a new tab the moment a matching alert fires.
- Local Restock Alerts — save a ZIP code and radius and the SnagTabs bot DMs you on Discord when an in-store restock is reported nearby.
- The SnagTabs Discord — sign in with Discord everywhere, and your membership role unlocks the matching tools automatically.
