The Pokémon Company addresses ongoing shortages of its highly anticipated Prismatic Evolutions expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). In a recent statement, the company acknowledged the widespread scarcity affecting global distribution, including the United States. This marks the first public acknowledgment of the issue since the expansion's November 2024 announcement and pre-orders.
The statement assures fans that reprints of Prismatic Evolutions products are currently underway and will soon be distributed to licensed retailers. While a specific release date for these reprints wasn't provided, the company emphasized its commitment to addressing the high demand as quickly as possible. The cause of the shortages was attributed to "high demand," avoiding specific mention of scalping, a common concern among fans.
Beyond the reprints, The Pokémon Company confirmed that additional Prismatic Evolutions products are planned for release in the coming months. This includes a Mini Tin and Surprise Box (February 7th), a Booster Bundle and Accessory Pouch Special Collection (March 7th and April 25th, respectively), a Super-Premium Collection (May 16th), and a Premium Figure Collection (September 26th). Players can also obtain Prismatic Evolutions cards starting January 16th via the Pokémon TCG Live mobile game's Battle Pass.
The Pokémon Company expressed gratitude for fans' patience and reiterated its dedication to resolving the supply issues to ensure wider availability of the Prismatic Evolutions expansion.
