Pokémon Update – 06/01/25
Happy New Year, everyone!
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Pokémon fans! We have amazing sets on the horizon, including Pokémon Prismatic Evolutions, Battle Partners, Heat Wave Arena, Glory of Team Rocket, and more! We’re thrilled to share these updates with you, thank you for your patience and for taking the time to read.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions (SV8.5)
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions is generating incredible demand. We’ve decided not to open pre-orders because we don’t know the exact allocations for this new set. While we hope to receive some stock, we’re not expecting much, unfortunately.
We shared this news earlier with our newsletter subscribers—thank you for staying updated with us!
Upcoming Pokémon Booster Box Restocks
Some shipments have been delayed, but they’re expected to arrive during the week of January 6th. Here’s what’s coming:
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–151 Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Crimson Haze Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Twilight Masquerade Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Paradise Dragona Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Snow Hazard Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Paradox Rift Booster Box
These items remain highly sought after by collectors and will be available at some of the most competitive prices in the Pokémon market.
Scarlet & Violet–151: A Bestseller
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet–151 continues to be our top seller, many shops are inflating prices due to demand, but we’re committed to keeping our prices as low as possible. However, our Japanese suppliers have started raising their prices due to the surge in demand. If you see our prices increase, it’s because we’re paying more for stock than before.
Other Pokemon Restocks
Here are additional Pokémon items expected to be restocked this week or early next week:
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Super Electric Breaker Booster Box
We’ve also restocked our Pokemon Mystery Boxes, though not in large quantities. We’re still waiting on some new Pokémon PSA slabs to arrive.
Pokemon Battle Partners Update
Regarding the new Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Japanese set, Battle Partners SV9:
We’re incredibly excited about this set! However, the current pricing in Japan has us concerned. Based on current costs, we’d need to sell this Booster Box for around €90–€100. While we’re hopeful prices will decrease closer to the release date, that might not happen given the ongoing Pokémon boom.
Due to uncertain pricing and allocations, we’ve decided not to open pre-orders at this time.
Closing Thoughts
With the new year in full swing and so many exciting sets on the horizon, we’re both thrilled and a little nervous—haha!
No matter what, we remain dedicated to offering the best service and the most competitive prices in the Pokemon TCG world. As a growing shop, we’re working hard to improve and expand, and we deeply appreciate your continued support.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
Sincerely,
Niels
