Avery the Poké Kid's Father Pleads With The Pokémon Company to Make a Trading Card in Honor of His Late Son

The father of late Pokémon influencer Avery the Poké Kid is asking The Pokémon Company to create a special card in honor of his son.

Avery the Poké Kid was a prominent and cheerful voice in the Pokémon Trading Card Game community. He died in September 2026 at 12 years old in after a seven-year-battle with pancreatic cancer; he went viral posthumously when his family shared a video of his final card pack opening a few days after his death, in which he excitedly pulled a 30th Anniversary Jirachi SIR card.

Now, his father is putting forth a public request to The Pokémon Company to make a special card in Avery’s honor.

On November 6, Christian Garcia — Avery’s father — published a tearful video on Instagram with a special plea to "immortalize" his son in the hobby he loved the most.

“Trying to figure out how to carry on Avery’s legacy has been the biggest challenge of the last couple months,” Garcia said. “…I want to make a plea to anyone, literally anyone from The Pokémon Company: If you’re watching this video, I want to figure out how to immortalize him somehow in the trading card game he loved so much.

“That kid literally was the embodiment of a Pokémon Master, and we’re hopeful, and I think it would be the coolest thing to open up a pack of cards and chase our son. If someone at The Pokémon Company is watching, please get a hold of us.”

Fans and fellow collectors are doing everything they can to get the attention of The Pokémon Company, with most agreeing that it would only make sense to make his card some iteration of a Jirachi, given his viral pull that took over social media after his death.
