The New Pokémon Trading Card Game Set, Scarlet and Violet — 151, Arriving on Sept. 22

The highly anticipated new Pokémon trading card game set, Scarlet and Violet — 151, is set to launch on September 22nd. This exciting new set features at least one card of each of the beloved original Pokémon from the Kanto region. One of the standout features of this set is the inclusion of the first new Kadabra card in over 20 years, following the resolution of the long-standing dispute between the magician Uri Geller and The Pokémon Company.

What to Expect from Scarlet and Violet — 151

While this set has already been released in Japan, giving us a clear view of its full art and rare illustration cards, the international release does come with a unique addition. The highly sought-after Mew ex special illustration rare card, which shifts from day to night when tilted, can only be obtained by ordering the Ultra-Premium box.

It is worth noting that some individuals may choose to resell this card separately from the rest of the Ultra-Premium box, making it difficult to predict its market price. However, if you are eager to get your hands on these cards, don’t worry! We are here to assist you.

Pre-Order and Availability

During the pre-order stage, the Scarlet and Violet — 151 sets quickly sold out at major retailers such as TCG Player and the Pokémon Center website. However, it is likely that these retailers will restock and open up more pre-orders before the official release date.
