- Source. Swooper's monitoring stack: our Best Buy monitor's real-time alert feed, logging a detection the moment an item becomes purchasable (including preorder slots reopening, which Best Buy uses heavily). Only confirmed restock events are counted; status changes and new-listing discoveries are excluded.
- Window. August 24, 2026 to October 27, 2026 (65-day monitoring window).
- Sample. 38 Pokémon restock detections across 17 tracked Pokémon products, 17 of which restocked at least once.
- Timezone. All times converted to US Eastern.
- What it is not. This measures online inventory flips at bestbuy.com for the Pokémon products Swooper tracks, not in-store stocking, and not the entire catalogue.
Month-by-month numbers for every store are in the Pokémon Restock Report.
Numbers refresh as the monitors keep running. Using this in a video or article? Please cite swooperhq.com/restock-data/best-buy, free to reference with attribution.
