Prismatic Pokémon Rage: TCG Evolutions Shortage Sparks Collector Fury

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 retailers. While the exact timeframe remains unspecified, the company assures fans that they are working at maximum capacity to address the high demand. The cause of the shortages was attributed to "high demand," avoiding specific mention of scalping, a common fan concern.

Beyond reprints, additional Prismatic Evolutions products are on the horizon, further expanding availability. These include:

• A Mini Tin and Surprise Box (February 7th release)
• A Booster Bundle (March 7th release)
• An Accessory Pouch Special Collection (April 25th release)
• A Super-Premium Collection (May 16th release)
• A Premium Figure Collection (September 26th release)

Furthermore, players can obtain Prismatic Evolutions cards starting January 16th through the Pokémon TCG Live mobile game's Battle Pass. The Pokémon Company's proactive response and commitment to increased production suggest a resolution to the current supply constraints is forthcoming.
