Mighty Bear Games, the studio behind the web3 gaming ecosystem GOAT Gaming, has launched a new event that brings real Pokémon cards into the Telegram-based GrabGifts platform. This limited-time collaboration allows users to open digital crates on the TON blockchain for a chance to win both on-chain and physical Pokémon collectibles. Only 1000 crates are available, marking one of GOAT Gaming’s most exclusive releases so far.
Pokémon Card Crates Added to GrabGifts
GrabGifts operates entirely within the Telegram app, offering users an easy entry point into digital collectibles without complex setup. The platform lets players open themed crates using TON, the blockchain’s native token, for a mix of rewards that can include Telegram gifts, NFTs, and real-world prizes. Each crate provides guaranteed rewards, so participants always walk away with something, even if they don’t hit one of the rare Pokémon cards.
The Telegram Mini App design focuses on accessibility and quick gameplay. Users can buy and open crates, claim rewards, or trade assets directly in chat. For many players, it replicates the nostalgic experience of opening Pokémon card packs, but with the added transparency of blockchain verification.
Charizard, Pikachu, Blastoise
The Pokémon card event introduces a set of 1000 crates priced at 3 TON each. Every crate guarantees a Telegram gift and offers a chance to unlock one of ten real, authenticated Pokémon cards. Featured Pokémon include fan favorites such as Charizard, Pikachu, Blastoise, Wartortle, and Ceruledge. Each card is verified through Courtyard.io, a platform known for bridging physical collectibles with on-chain ownership.
Winners receive digital versions of their cards, which can be redeemed for the physical version through Courtyard.io. The platform stores the cards securely while linking them to blockchain-based certificates of authenticity. Players can keep their cards as digital collectibles, trade them for TON, or request physical delivery through Courtyard’s service.
At the time of writing, roughly a quarter of the available crates had already been purchased. Once the full batch of 1000 is opened, the event will close permanently, reinforcing the collectible nature of the drop.
Telegram, TON, and GrabGifts
Accessing GrabGifts is simple through the official Telegram bot. Users can connect their TON wallet, deposit funds, and find the Pokémon Card Gift Box in the app’s interface. Each crate costs 3 TON to open, and a Demo Mode allows users to preview the process before spending any crypto. The app also displays potential rewards and their corresponding TON values, offering full transparency before purchase.
For collectors, this setup merges familiar mechanics with blockchain-backed security. It’s designed to be straightforward enough for newcomers while maintaining the excitement of opening digital packs.
Physical Meets Digital
GOAT Gaming’s partnership with Courtyard.io marks a significant step in merging traditional collectibles with digital ownership. Courtyard.io authenticates, stores, and tokenizes physical items, creating a digital version that can be traded or sold within supported ecosystems. This collaboration positions GrabGifts as more than a reward platform - it’s a test case for how web3 infrastructure can support physical collectibles in a mainstream-friendly format.
GOAT Gaming continues to build within the TON ecosystem following its previous projects, focusing on games and applications that make blockchain integration seamless for everyday users. The Pokémon collaboration extends that mission, blending familiar IP with blockchain’s traceability and transparency.
