The statement issued on social media stated that demand for the Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions expansion is exceptionally high, and it warned that some players may experience difficulties obtaining the expansion after it is released. It’s not clear if this affects the pre-orders from the Pokemon Center specifically or if this is likely to affect other retailers. The Pokemon Company said it will be issuing reprints as quickly as possible and be working to full capacity to meet demand as best as they can.

Here is the full statement:

The Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions expansion focuses on Eevee and its evolutions, all appearing as Stellar Tera Pokemon. The new cards are releasing as part of an Elite Trainer Box containing booster packs and gameplay accessories. The boxes also contain exclusive rare promo cards. Those ordering from the Pokemon Center will receive a second promo card featuring the Pokemon Center logo. Other collections include the Binder Collection, which contains five booster packs and an album that can hold up to 378 cards, and the Poster Collection, which comes with a two-sided poster featuring Eevee.

While Prismatic Evolutions is the latest expansion for the Pokemon TCG, the next expansion has already been confirmed. Journey Together is set for release in March 2025, which is set to focus on special Pokemon belonging to major trainers from the main game series.

Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions is set for general release on January 17, 2025, although this is likely to be affected by availability issues.
