What's new and our best moves

2024 was a big year for Pokemon TCGboth thanks to some incredible set releases and the launch of the new mobile game Pokemon TCG Pocket. Still, Pokemon TCG kicks off 2025 with a bang with the release of the highly anticipated and coveted Prismatic Evolutions set, which is all about Eevee and its Eeveelutions.

Prismatic Evolutions are selling out quickly, so The Pokemon Company released a statement on social media announcing that more reprints of this expansion will be shipping to stores as soon as possible. This is good news on several fronts, as fans saw a huge increase in price for these Pokemon TCG products due to scalpers buying them in bulk and reselling them online. Prismatic Evolutions is already a hit with fans, and Game Rant recently unboxed some products from it. The expansion contains the following number of hunting cards:

• 24 Pokemon Ex cards, between regular Pokemon Ex and Tera Pokemon Ex

• 6 Ace Spec Trainer cards

• 12 Full Art Supporter Trainer cards

• 26 special illustrations rare Pokemon cards

• 6 Special Illustration Rare Supporter Trainer cards

• 5 gold cards
