Pokémon Update – 12/01/25
Welcome !
Here we put up some updates on the shop and the market, restocks to come and more.
Read below on Prismatic Evolutions, battle partners, journey together and more!
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions (SV8.5)
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions is going absolutely crazy and we've received allocations! So we already announced it on our social media but this is how we're going to do it. On release date we'll put up the first shipment of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Prismatic Evolutions and limit 2 Elite trainer boxes MAXIMUM per customer.
This is because of the high demand and we want to give everyone a fair chance of getting this ETB for below the market price without 1 person buying up the stock and re-selling it.
Now, yes the price is and will be high and we apologize for that... We're unfortunately at the mercy of the market with our buy-ins, more on that later.
Upcoming Pokémon Booster Box Restocks
This is what should be coming in the week of 13th of January, or if delays occur the 20th.
Here’s what’s coming:
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–151 Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Crimson Haze Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Terastal Festival Booster Box
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Prismatic Evolutions ( 2 shipments 17 & week of 20th of January )
- Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet–Stellar Crown 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.
The current pokemon market...
As most of you have noticed the current pokemon boom is absolutely crazy... Which is causing prices to flux IMMENSLY! Which ofcourse affects us too... especially in Japan too, the google search trends, what's being sold, the demand is incredible.
Even sets that weren't as popular as before like Mask of Change, stella miracle, ancient roar etc. Are all going up, we'll do our best to stick below market average but with all the upcoming sets it's going to be a little bit rough...
Pokemon Battle Partners Update
Regarding the new Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Japanese set, Battle Partners SV9:
We’re incredibly excited about this set! However still the asking price from our Japanese suppliers is a bit high, a lot of our shop competitors have decided not to do Pre-orders and we're not either, simply because the price is too high and expext it to drop on release so take that in mind when placing pre-orders with other stores.
Either way you can expect Pokemon Battle Partners stock AFTER the original release date.
Pokemon Journey Together
We've already asked about Journey together and waiting for allocations, but we suspect it might be a similar situation to prismatic evolutions where demand is high and we can't guarantee anything to our customers so we rather not take pre-orders, cancel and disappoint you guys.
As plenty of you have seen that the pokemon center got sold out in minutes and not even 30 minutes later e-bay listings with way above MSRP price.
So yeah, again... Crazy pokemon lots of new people in the hobby.
Closing Thoughts
It shakes up to be a crazy start of the year and we're nervous and excited. Difficult to navigate this as new shop owners but we'll keep you all updated and do our best to deliver one of the best possible price with great service!
Thank you for being part of our journey!
Sincerely,
Niels
