Santa Cruz Skateboards and Pokémon are bringing back their trading-card-inspired deck collaboration for Fall 2026. Each sealed blind bag contains one randomly assorted 8 in x 31.6 in skateboard deck from a 30-design Pokémon TCG card-art assortment, with three additional gold foil collage variants limited to 500 copies worldwide each. Buyers cannot select a design, and the official page does not list a confirmed price.
What comes in a Pokémon x Santa Cruz blind bag?
Santa Cruz describes the product as one randomly assorted deck per sealed bag, featuring artwork from one of 30 iconic Pokémon TCG cards. The deck measures 8 in x 31.6 in. The brand says the card artwork will be revealed upon release, so the product description does not tell buyers which design is inside a particular bag. Santa Cruz’s official Pokémon collection page lists the collection as coming soon in Fall 2026.

The 30 card-art designs are the main assortment. Alongside them are three glitter-gold foil variants featuring collages of multiple Pokémon TCG cards. Santa Cruz says each gold variant is limited to 500 copies worldwide. That is a production limit per variant, not a stated chance of finding one: the brand has not published pull odds or the total number of standard decks being distributed.

Santa Cruz lists the collection for Fall 2026. Zumiez’s retailer announcement gives October 17, 2026, as its collection date and describes how its own release will work. That date and the purchase procedures below apply to Zumiez; they do not establish how every retailer will sell the collection.
#1 Best Overall
- The Santa Cruz Skateboards Roskopp Warthog Freaks 11" deck features a truly freakish new Rob Roskopp shape and artwork adapted from his OG 80's Rob Face pro model. The Roskopp Warthog is fully dipped neon green with a 15" wheelbase and front wheel wells.

For a more precise global drop time, Nintendo Life reported that Santa Cruz Europe gave a release time of 2 p.m. BST, 3 p.m. CET, 9 a.m. EST and 6 a.m. PST. Those times are attributed to Santa Cruz Europe via Nintendo Life’s October 8, 2026, coverage; check the official collection page or retailer listing for current availability and local details.
Can you choose the deck design?
No. The bag is a mystery assortment: it contains one randomly selected deck, and Santa Cruz has not said buyers can request a particular card-art design. The official page says the artwork will be revealed on release. The three gold foil variants are limited to 500 copies each, but no odds or distribution details are published, so that limit cannot be converted into a reliable chance of pulling one.
Rank #2
- The Santa Cruz Skateboards Crowded Hand 9.0" x 32.15" deck features Santa Cruz Crowded Hand artwork on a black stained deck with a 14.25" wheelbase.
- 7 ply North American Maple pressed individually using epoxy - making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick.
- 3D concave features a medium depth concave with lower, continuous nose and tail kick, plus concave in the nose in tail that combine to create pockets to lock in your feet. 7 ply North American Maple pressed individually using epoxy making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick, topped off with our signature matte finish.
How much do the 2026 decks cost?
Santa Cruz’s official page does not establish an MSRP in the listing reviewed here. PokéBeach reported on October 6, 2026, that no MSRP had been announced; it mentioned about $110 only as an expectation based on the prior collaboration, not as a confirmed price. See PokéBeach’s report for that distinction. Treat any retailer price as unconfirmed until it appears on a live listing.

How this release relates to the earlier collaboration
This is a new collection tied to Pokémon’s 30-year milestone, not a continuation of the earlier run’s inventory or specifications. Santa Cruz’s official archive lists a Pokémon release in September 2023. The 2026 announcement specifies its own 30 card-art designs and gold foil variants; details from the 2023 release should not be assumed to apply to this one.
Rank #3
- 7 ply North American Maple pressed individually using epoxy making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick. Deck Measures 8.25" x 31.83".

Is it a complete skateboard?
The announced item is a skateboard deck—the board component—not a confirmed complete skateboard. The official product details reviewed identify the deck dimensions but do not specify whether trucks, wheels or other hardware are included. Check the live listing before buying if you need a complete setup. Santa Cruz’s collection page also includes apparel, but exact clothing and grip-tape products, prices and stock were not established in the announcement details.
