The Pokémon Company addresses widespread shortages of its highly anticipated Prismatic Evolutions trading card game expansion. Acknowledging the difficulties fans have faced securing products, the company confirms that reprints are currently in production and will soon be distributed to licensed retailers. This statement marks the first official recognition of the supply issues.

Originally unveiled in November 2024 with pre-orders opening shortly after, Prismatic Evolutions was slated for a January 17th, 2025 global release.

While the statement avoids directly mentioning scalpers as a contributing factor, it acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the limited availability.

Replenishment on the Way

The Pokémon Company assures fans that reprints are actively being produced and will reach distributors as quickly as possible, though a specific release date for these reprints remains unannounced.
