As well as the trails, some National Trust properties will see Pokémon TCG-themed activities between 18th July and 6th September. Additionally, a total of 145 locations will offer a TCG sticker book, with a sticker for Mega Dragonite, Mega Clefable, Mega Gengar, Mega Charizard Y, or Pikachu granted for each visit.
A full list of venues for the TCG activities can be found on the official Pokémon website.
For Pokémon Go players, there's no word of bonus PokéStops or Gyms as with the recent Pokopia pop up gardens - though from experience, National Trust properties tend to have plenty anyway.
