September 4, 2026 · 4 min read
Shanghai is Friday. Tokyo runs an hour ahead. No new shelf paper. Today is Pokemon Center Online additional-lottery results day. The BOX product page clocks results from September 4 13:00, orders from that same stamp through September 8 16:59, and shipping November 11–20. Street date is still September 16. A win is not tomorrow's openable stock. Deck-set results still follow the FAQ from 17:00. The nine-piece card set page clocks 15:00. AEON Style Online stays open through tonight 23:59. Tomorrow Chongqing Chaotianmen Volcarona opens, and City League Season 4 starts. Twelve days to street.
What matters today
Street date did not move. pokemon.com's September 3 posts are Study Season on TCG Live and Worlds photo dumps, not a product guide. PokeBeach's lineup post is still June 30. The live clocks are PCO results and a China gym open. Store Worlds #093 algorithm print slipped to $26.00 (-$3.00). Do not paste lottery retail tags into sold tape.
Signal 1: PCO results today, BOX ships in November
The extra lottery closed August 31 16:59. Check lottery history from today. BOX: results from 13:00, orders through September 8 16:59, credit card with 3D Secure. Ship window November 11–20. That is almost two months after September 16 street. A win is allocation, not a street carton. Nine-piece card set: results from 15:00, same order deadline, ships by October 15 (ahead of the October 16 street SKU). Premium Deck Set still follows the earlier FAQ from 17:00. Direct pokemoncenter-online hits returned Restricted access this pass. Clocks align with indexed official product pages and yesterday's FAQ.
AEON Style Online's window that opened September 3 11:00 closes tonight 23:59. Do not file it as the same history row as PCO.
Signal 2: Chongqing Volcarona tomorrow, City League opens
pokemon.cn 23708 is still live. Official gym Chongqing Chaotianmen (Volcarona) opens Saturday September 5. Address: 8 Jiesheng Street, Chaotianmen, Yuzhong, Chongqing, unit 01-08. Hours 10:00–22:00. Open promo September 5–November 4: one Volcarona promo after a same-day RMB 99 in-store spend. Cap 30,000. One per user. Same-day receipt, on-site redeem. Gym promo, not a 30th Wave 1 SKU, not a City League prize. Crowd control can flip on and off.
City League Season 4 per 23671: season September 5–November 1. Individual draw was due September 3 in the mini program. No public name list on the web page. Do not invent hit rates.
Signal 3: #093 print slips again, PSA 10 still blank
PriceCharting store page: Pikachu [World Championship 2026] #93. Ungraded algorithm $26.00 (-$3.00). Algorithm. PSA 10 cell still a dash. Page shows about six sales per day. Option counts: Ungraded (30), PSA 10 (0). Sold-row table is JS-loaded this pass, so no dated September 3–4 dollar lines are quoted. Window closed. Copies keep dumping. Not 2021 Celebrations.
PSA notes
Store #093 still has no dated PSA 10 row. Softer print plus rising denominator means grading now just pads the count. Volcarona gym promos start tomorrow. Pop is noise until then. 30th certs wait for mid-September. A PCO BOX win maps to a November ship window, not September 16 rip inventory.
