[Update 13 Jan 2025] God Packs have been confirmed for inclusion in Prismatic Evolutions [PRE]. Just like in the set’s Japanese counterpart Terastal Festival ex [SV8a]<\/a>, God Packs in Prismatic Evolutions will contain one ordinary card and nine special illustration rares\u2014one each of Eevee and its eight evolutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 6 Jan 2025] Such has been the demand for Prismatic Evolutions [PRE] that suppliers are no longer able to keep up; product allocations have been greatly reduced at many suppliers around the world. In the UK, an average store will be receiving just 40% of what was requested from the distributors while in the US, that figure plummets to around 10 to 15%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in Australia and New Zealand, all pre-orders for the Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box which were placed after 9 November 2024 will only be arriving in May or June 2025. As such, in those countries, only buyers who pre-ordered it early enough will receive it within the first few months of the product’s release on 17 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a more positive note, it’s also been confirmed that some of the Master Ball Mirror cards in Prismatic Evolutions [PRE] will include those whose Japanese versions were from ex Starter Decks: Generations [SVM]<\/a>. Since those cards did not have Master Ball Mirror prints in Japanese, this therefore means that Prismatic Evolutions [PRE] will include the first-ever English-exclusive Master Ball Mirror cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 26 Dec 2024] It has now been confirmed that Prismatic Evolutions [PRE] will include reverse holofoil, Pok\u00e9 Ball Mirror, and Master Ball Mirror prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also means that the coveted Master Ball Mirror print cards from Terastal Festival ex [SV8a] <\/a>will no longer be Japanese-exclusive starting from the release date of Prismatic Evolutions [PRE] on 17 January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 6 Nov 2024] The images of the special illustration rare cards depicting Eevee and its eight evolutions have now been posted on the Twitter account of PTCGL News<\/a>. Head to the gallery for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the set’s acronym has now been confirmed as [PRE]. It’s also now known that Prismatic Evolutions [PRE] will have a total of 131 non-secret rare cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 4 Nov 2024] The name of the set is now officially confirmed to be “Prismatic Evolutions”. Images of the set’s logo and booster packs are also now available; browse the gallery for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the card rarity breakdown of Prismatic Evolutions is now known; it’s as follows:

<\/strong>More than 175 cards
6 ACE SPEC Trainer cards
10 Pok\u00e9mon-ex and 15 Terastallized Pok\u00e9mon-ex
12 ultra rare Supporter cards
32 special illustration rare Pok\u00e9mon-ex and Supporter cards
5 hyper rare gold etched Pok\u00e9mon ex cards<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prismatic Evolutions will also include two sets of reverse holofoil cards\u2014one with a Pok\u00e9 Ball background, the second with a Master Ball background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 10 Oct 2024] The name of this set has now been confirmed to be “Prismatic Evolution”. In addition, it’s now known that Prismatic Evolution will not have any individually-sold booster packs. Instead, booster packs will be purchasable via a Poster Collection, a Binder Collection, an Elite Trainer Box, and three Tech Sticker Collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Pok\u00e9mon TCG international expansion set has now been confirmed for release. While an official name hasn’t yet been confirmed, a set with the provisional title of “Scarlet & Violet 8.5” is slated for international launch on 17 January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Scarlet & Violet 8.5<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the set itself, other products associated with the set will be dropping on the same day. These items include a Poster Collection, a Binder Collection, an Elite Trainer Box, and three Tech Sticker Collections. Though unconfirmed, it’s widely expected that Scarlet & Violet 8.5 ex Boxes and Mini Tins will be on the way as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards from Scarlet & Violet 8.5 will primarily be English versions of cards from the ex Starter Decks: Generations<\/a> collection as well as Terastal Festival. As such, the most notable cards from Scarlet & Violet 8.5 will likely be those of Pok\u00e9mon-ex forms of Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, which headline the ex Starter Decks: Generations collection, as well as those of Terastallized Pok\u00e9mon-ex forms of Eeveelutions, which headline Terastal Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No retail prices linked to Scarlet & Violet 8.5 or any of its associated products have yet been finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
