Pokémon TCG Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection Sells Out Amid Intense Launch Frenzy

The newly released Pokémon Trading Card Game: Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection has ignited unprecedented demand across the TCG community, quickly selling out at retailers following its recent launch.

Developed under the expansive umbrella of The Pokémon Company, the set launched last week and immediately became a prime target for both devoted collectors and opportunistic resellers—a familiar story for the celebrated franchise.

The Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection builds on the runaway success of prior Eevee-centric releases, featuring a generous bundle containing 15 Prismatic Evolutions booster packs, a sought-after full-art foil Eevee promo card, exclusive card sleeves, an Eevee-themed playmat, and a deluxe deck box.

The collection debuted to high anticipation at GameStop and partner retailers, fueling a new wave of Pokémon TCG fever reminiscent of previous high-profile product launches. According to a detailed account posted by a Reddit user under the handle "Expensive_Age_3406" in the r/GameStop community, collectors' enthusiasm for this latest launch reached new highs—and questionable lows.

The Redditor described arriving at a GameStop location at 3:00am, after regional tornado and thunderstorm warnings had subsided, only to discover two determined individuals had camped out since 8:00pm the night before.

Despite inclement weather and safety advisories, these campers held their ground outside the store, boldly informing the poster that they intended to purchase the entire available stock.

"We’re getting all of it," they reportedly said, making it clear that others would leave empty-handed. When stores opened, the campers secured all four available boxes of the coveted collection at that specific GameStop branch.

Though no physical altercations or injuries occurred during the incident, the episode highlights the extreme measures some collectors and scalpers are willing to take for rare Pokémon TCG items. This fervor for new Pokémon card collections is hardly unprecedented.

In past years, skyrocketing demand for releases such as the Pokémon x Van Gogh crossover saw crowds overwhelming locations like the Louvre, while supermarkets witnessed brawls over trading card restocks.

Even major partners like McDonald's have introduced temporary purchase limits during Happy Meal promotions to thwart scalpers from sweeping up all stocks of Pokémon-themed toys. The Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection officially launched last week across participating retailers and the eShop.

With each wave of Pokémon fever, demand consistently outpaces supply—a testament to the Nintendo franchise’s enduring power and the lasting appeal of trading card games.

As of this writing, the Super Premium Collection is entirely sold out at both online and physical retailers, cementing its status as one of the hottest Pokémon TCG releases of the year. For longtime fans and Nintendo Switch users alike, Pokémon’s legacy of uniting players across games, hardware, and the trading card series continues to both challenge and invigorate collectors—no matter the weather.
