Pokémon Prismatic Evolutions set guide from Card Chase

Pokémon Prismatic Evolutions

Pokémon Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions released on January 17, 2025, as a special set built around Eevee and all eight of its evolutions. It has 180 cards, including 32 Special Illustration Rares, and it brought Poké Ball and Master Ball reverse holo patterns to an English set. There’s no booster box: packs come in products like the Elite Trainer Box ($49.99 MSRP), Booster Bundle ($26.94 MSRP) and Surprise Box ($22.99 MSRP). The top chase is the Special Illustration Rare Umbreon ex, followed by Sylveon ex, Leafeon ex and Espeon ex. Demand made it one of the hardest Pokémon sets to find at MSRP.

What the math says: At MSRP, the Booster Bundle was the cheapest way to open Prismatic Evolutions at $4.49 a pack. The Surprise Box costs the most per pack, but its random etched Eeveelution promo (including Umbreon) makes it a chase of its own. The Elite Trainer Box is the best all-around pick for players. Prismatic Evolutions sells above MSRP almost everywhere, so expect to pay more.
