Mighty Bear Games, the web3 game studio behind AI-powered Telegram gaming ecosystem GOAT Gaming, has officially launched Pokémon cards over to GrabGifts, where they can be acquired by buying a limited supply of crates on TON.

What Is GrabGifts?

GrabGifts is a Telegram-based gifting and collectible platform built on the TON blockchain, offering users the ability to open digital crates for crypto rewards, NFTs, and real-world prizes. Accessible directly through the Telegram app, GrabGifts integrates slot mechanics with blockchain functionality, allowing users to unlock gifts, trade digital assets, and participate in limited-time drops without leaving their chat interface.

The platform operates through an intuitive Telegram Mini App that lets users buy and open themed crates. Each crate contains guaranteed rewards in the form of Telegram gifts, digital collectibles, or exclusive blockchain assets. Using TON as its core payment method, the surprise-driven rewards platform is designed for quick and low-cost transactions while delivering verifiable ownership of digital items through on-chain data.

After launching this mini-game at the start of this month, the team is now delivering its most ambitious collaboration to date, one that merges nostalgia with innovation by bringing authentic Pokémon cards to the platform.

How to Collect Pokémon Cards on GrabGifts

The latest event marks the arrival of real Pokémon cards on GrabGifts. Limited to only 1000 crates, this exclusive drop introduces a unique opportunity for collectors and crypto enthusiasts to obtain both digital and physical rewards. Each Pokémon-themed crate costs 3 TON to open, offering a guaranteed Telegram gift along with a chance to win one of 10 real Pokémon cards verified through Courtyard.io, a platform specializing in tokenized collectibles.

Inside these crates, players can find cards featuring some of the most beloved Pokémon in the franchise, such as Charizard, Pikachu, Blastoise, Wartortle, and Ceruledge. Each of the 10 physical cards is authenticated, ensuring verifiable ownership, while Courtyard.io bridges the gap between traditional trading cards and blockchain, minting the real cards as on-chain assets that can be claimed, traded, or sold.

Once you open a crate and discover a winning card, you can withdraw your prize through Courtyard’s platform. Courtyard stores the physical card in a secure facility and links it to a digital certificate on-chain. This allows you to retain your card as a verified digital asset or choose to sell it for TON directly through GrabGifts. The integration creates a simple and transparent process for blending physical collectibles with digital assets.

Each crate guarantees a Telegram gift, meaning that every participant walks away with a reward even if they do not win one of the 10 rare Pokémon cards. The thrill lies in the chase, but the structure ensures that no crate goes unrewarded.

For Pokémon fans, this event offers a way to merge nostalgia with innovation, revisiting the excitement of opening card packs but through a blockchain-powered, digital-first approach. For TON users, it reinforces the growing utility of the network for gaming, collectibles, and community-driven applications.

At the time of writing, 225 out of 1000 crates have been purchased, and once all crates are opened, the event concludes permanently, with no additional Pokémon card crates expected. This scarcity contributes to the collectible appeal and underlines the event’s significance within both the GrabGifts and TON ecosystems.

To get started, head on over to the official website to access the Telegram bot, deposit TON to your TON wallet if you don’t have enough already, and once you’re in the app, you should see the Pokemon Card Gift Box in the top left corner. Simply tap on it to get the option to one for 3 TON. Before you do, you can choose to activate Demo Mode to see how the process works for free before deciding to spend crypto on it. You can also see a list of possible drops before making the purchase, and even the value in TON of those assets as well.

About GOAT Gaming & Courtyard.io

GOAT Gaming is the Telegram-based AI gaming ecosystem that is home to GrabGifts and several other projects within the TON blockchain ecosystem. Developer Mighty Bear Games, who sunset Mighty Action Heroes earlier this year, is focused on building accessible blockchain experiences that combine entertainment, rewards, and community engagement, while falling under one banner. The team has developed a suite of Telegram-native applications within the ecosystem that are designed to make web3 features approachable to general audiences without requiring complex onboarding or wallet setup.

GrabGifts represents one of GOAT Gaming’s flagship products. By simplifying token transactions and providing transparent prize mechanics, it delivers a more straightforward and user-friendly approach to web3 rewards. Players use TON for purchases, but do not need extensive blockchain knowledge to participate.

The partnership with Courtyard.io and the Pokémon card drop demonstrates GOAT Gaming’s vision for bridging the gap between physical and digital assets. By tokenizing real-world collectibles like Pokémon cards, the company showcases how web3 infrastructure can enhance existing markets rather than replace them. Collectors gain provable ownership, instant liquidity, and an easier way to interact with their assets online.

Courtyard.io, the partner behind the physical card authentication, is a platform that brings tangible collectibles to the blockchain. Each collectible is stored securely, digitized as an NFT, and made tradable within supported ecosystems. Through this collaboration, GOAT Gaming extends GrabGifts’ reach beyond digital prizes, introducing verifiable real-world items into its Telegram ecosystem for the first time.

With Pokémon cards now part of GrabGifts, GOAT Gaming has created a crossover between one of the most recognizable collectible franchises in the world and the evolving web3 entertainment landscape. Each of the available crates offers the chance to unlock both nostalgic treasures and modern blockchain rewards. If you’re a Pokémon fan, then perhaps this is what you might be looking for, and even if you do not pull a Charizard or Blastoise, you still earn a Telegram gift for joining the event.
