TCG Prismatic Evolutions Shortage: Pokemon Company Statement

The Pokémon Company addresses ongoing shortages of its highly anticipated Prismatic Evolutions expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). Acknowledging widespread supply issues impacting global availability, including the US, the company issued a statement expressing gratitude for fans' patience.

The statement confirms that reprints of Prismatic Evolutions products are currently underway and will soon be distributed to licensed vendors. While the exact timeframe remains unstated, the company assures fans that they are working at maximum capacity to increase production and address the high demand. The statement avoids explicitly mentioning scalping as a contributing factor, simply citing "high demand" as the cause of the shortages.

Beyond reprints, the Pokémon Company announced additional Prismatic Evolutions products launching 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 company's proactive response and commitment to increased production offer hope for fans eager to acquire this sought-after expansion.
