The Pokémon Company addresses widespread shortages of its highly anticipated Scarlet and Violet—Prismatic Evolutions expansion. In a recent statement, the company acknowledged the global supply issues and expressed gratitude for fans' patience. This marks the first official recognition of the problem, following weeks of online complaints.
The statement confirmed 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 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 concern among collectors.
Beyond reprints, additional Prismatic Evolutions products are on the horizon. The release schedule includes:
- February 7: Mini Tin and Surprise Box
- March 7: Booster Bundle
- April 25: Accessory Pouch Special Collection
- May 16: Super-Premium Collection
- September 26: Premium Figure Collection
Players can also obtain Prismatic Evolutions cards starting January 16th through the Pokémon TCG Live mobile game's Battle Pass. The Pokémon Company reiterates its commitment to resolving the supply issues and ensuring fans can access the new expansion.
