Pokémon restocks in Chicago.

In the last 90 days the busiest were Best Buy Schaumburg in Schaumburg, Best Buy Burbank in Burbank, Best Buy 75th & Lemont in Downers Grove. 461 stores within 45 miles of Chicago had at least one recorded Pokémon restock.

Best Buy (1,279 restocks at 77 stores), Walgreens (715 restocks at 190 stores), Dollar General (446 restocks at 146 stores), CVS (158 restocks at 48 stores). RestockR covers shelf stock at Dollar General, Walgreens, CVS, Best Buy and Academy; Target and Walmart in-store are not part of this record.

Wednesday is the busiest day (21% of in-store restocks) and the busiest window is 12 PM – 3 PM Eastern. In-store restocks follow delivery schedules, so the pattern is steadier than online drops.

RestockR Ultimate members set a ZIP code and radius in the app and get a push or Discord alert when a store inside that radius shows stock, with the store address and the quantity seen. Local alerts are part of RestockR Ultimate ($5.99/month, 3 days free).

From RestockR's in-store stock record: every time a store's shelf count went from zero to in stock, that sighting is logged with the store. "Chicago, IL area" means within 45 miles of Chicago. Times are Eastern.
