Prismatic Evolutions and Blooming Waters were released, and preorders for the next set, Journey Together, were taken. Unfortunately, due to limited supply and scalpers, not everyone has been able to enjoy these new sets.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-orders for the upcoming Journey Together set\u2014which features the return of Trainer&#8217;s Pok\u00e9mon\u2014sold out in less than an hour on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemon.com\/uk\/pokemon-tcg\/scarlet-violet-journey-together\" target=\"_blank\">Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s official website<\/a>. And try as I might, I&#8217;ve had no luck trying to find any of the current set Prismatic Evolutions, which launched last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Prismatic Evolutions is a special set that is focused on all the eeveelutions. There are secret art rares for all the eeveelutions, with the Umbreon currently <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecharting.com\/game\/pokemon-prismatic-evolutions\/umbreon-ex-161\" target=\"_blank\">going for up to $1,950<\/a> on the resale market. Eevee sets usually do remarkably well on the secondary market\u2014we saw similar prices for some of the full arts in Evolving Skies a few years back. So Prismatic Evolutions is kind of a perfect storm with massive hype and it being a special set.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with special sets is that you can only get them in special boxed collections like Eliter Trainer Boxes or Booster Bundles, which are more expensive than your average collection, and even for these, there&#8217;s usually a limited amount of stock. Due to massive demand, which was mainly increased thanks to scalpers trying to get their hands on what was initially thought to be the only Prismatic Evolution drop, most stores couldn&#8217;t get in any stock.<\/p>\n<p>This has meant that while there are many Elite Trainer Boxes available on resale sites for twice the initial price, there&#8217;s hardly any stock left online or in stores. I had initially thought about grabbing a resale box, but I hate the idea of giving money to scalpers, as it would just encourage them. Plus, I don&#8217;t believe an Elite Trainer Box is worth over \u00a3100.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"YfbrLzatbVa8eehzF9cDDN\" name=\"Prismatic Evolutions Pokemon TCG\" alt=\"Prismatic Evolutions Pokemon TCG\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pokemon-tcg-prismatic-evolution-scalpers-are-starting-to-hurt-thanks-to-the-promise-of-reprints-despite-the-current-lack-of-supply.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: The Pok\u00e9mon Company)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Luckily, I won&#8217;t have to resort to buying from scalpers. The Pok\u00e9mon Company announced that, to help with supply, it will issue reprints of Prismatic Evolutions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re aware that some fans may experience difficulties purchasing certain Prismatic Evolutions products at launch due to high demand impacting availability,&#8221; Pok\u00e9mon TCG&#8217;s official X account says. &#8220;We understand this inconvenience can be disappointing for fans, and we are actively working to print more of the impacted Pok\u00e9mon TCG products as quickly as possible and at maximum capacity to acknowledge this. Reprinted products are expected to be available at participating retailers as soon as possible to help ensure more fans receive opportunities to access Prismatic Evolutions. We&#8217;d like to thank the community for their continued support and patience as we work to deliver this highly anticipated expansion to fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This announcement immediately had an impact on resale prices, as many players, like myself, are happy to wait for more stock to come out rather than paying double to get a box right now. Initially, some Prismatic Evolution boxes were going for \u00a3100+, but now they&#8217;re down to \u00a370-\u00a380. It would honestly be wiser to hold onto the stock for a longer period of time, as an expansion like this will only become more valuable over time, but many scalpers can&#8217;t wait that long to sell the product.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Q9gwogWHYq9tmbEBJiL6fN\" name=\"Prismatic Evolutions Pokemon TCG\" alt=\"Prismatic Evolutions Pokemon TCG\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pokemon-tcg-prismatic-evolution-scalpers-are-starting-to-hurt-thanks-to-the-promise-of-reprints-despite-the-current-lack-of-supply-1.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: The Pok\u00e9mon Company)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Blooming Waters set hasn&#8217;t had the same sort of luck so far, as this is really just the last of the 151 stock going out on shelves.

These are mostly comprised of people racing through Costco and ripping apart the Pok\u00e9mon TCG Blooming Waters stand in an effort to get their hands on as many cards and boxes as possible.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s this kind of behaviour that ruins Pok\u00e9mon TCG for average players.

Hopefully, another Prismatic rush doesn&#8217;t occur.
