Every detection, by hour of day.

Eastern time. The overnight cluster is the finding — plus a smaller afternoon wave around 1PM, when Target's daytime inventory sync flips stock back on.

Why overnight A restock here is Target's site flipping an item from out-of-stock to purchasable. Those flips come from inventory syncs on a backend schedule — not trucks arriving, not store hours — which is why the counts pile up before dawn.

The restock clock

Every weekday, every hour — one map.

All 316 detections mapped weekday × hour, Eastern time. The darker the cell, the more restocks landed there — the dark band is where alarms belong.

Darker = more restocks · the outlined cell is the peak · swipe sideways for all 24 hours

Methodology

How this was measured.

  • Source. Swooper's monitoring stack — our own custom monitors polling Target product availability directly, plus verified restock feeds — logging a detection the moment an item becomes purchasable.
  • Window. July 10, 2026 – September 18, 2026 (71-day monitoring window).
  • Sample. 316 Pokémon restock detections across 42 tracked Pokémon products, 42 of which restocked at least once.
  • Timezone. All times converted to US Eastern.
  • What it is not. This measures online inventory flips at target.com for the Pokémon products Swooper tracks — not in-store stocking, and not the entire catalogue.

Swooper, the drop-hunting mascot

You can't set an alarm for 4AM every night.

Swooper watches every tracked product around the clock and checks out for you the second one flips — while you're asleep.
