A special Pokémon Go reward tied to a Times Square promotional raid in New York is already drawing huge resale prices online. According to the report, the limited Mewtwo connected to the invite-only event has appeared on eBay with asking prices in the five-figure range.
The high listings reflect the item’s scarcity. Because the raid was not open to the general player base, access was tightly limited from the start, turning the exclusive Mewtwo into a collector target almost immediately after the event.
The promotion was staged as part of a major anniversary push for Pokémon Go, using Times Square and one of the franchise’s most recognizable legendary Pokémon to generate attention. That mix of publicity, rarity, and brand recognition appears to have helped fuel the rapid jump from event giveaway to premium resale listing.
While not every listing necessarily results in a sale, the appearance of five-figure asking prices shows how quickly exclusives from high-profile game events can become scalper bait. In this case, a short-lived New York stunt has turned into one of the more talked-about Pokémon Go collectibles on the secondary market.
