Prismatic Evolutions Complete Pokemon Guide

Prismatic Evolutions is set to launch on January 17, 2025, and promises to be one of the standout releases of the Scarlet & Violet era. As a specialty set, it won’t feature traditional booster boxes. Instead, collectors can look forward to an exciting array of products, including Elite Trainer Boxes, mini tins, booster bundles, and more. It is based on the Japanese set Terastal Festival ex, which launched on December 6th, 2024.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the release of Prismatic Evolutions. From official release dates and must-have chase cards to detailed set information and tips on where and how to purchase Prismatic Evolutions products.

So what makes Prismatic Evolutions such a good set?

Prismatic Evolutions Set Overview

Eeveelution Set
Notably, Prismatic Evolutions marks the first set since Evolving Skies to spotlight the beloved Eeveelutions so prominently. Early leaks from the back of the poster collection have already given us a sneak peek at the stunning Special Illustration Rare Eeveelutions, including the Umbreon SIR.

Reverse-Holo Masterballs
Prismatic Evolutions introduces an exciting twist in the reverse holo slot, offering three possible options: a standard reverse holo, a Poke Ball reverse holo, and the highly coveted Master Ball reverse holo. This marks the first time these Master Ball reverse holos will appear in the English TCG. When Master Ball reverse holos debuted in Japan’s 151 set, they quickly became highly collectible and commanded a notable premium. In fact, in Terastal Festival, the Umbreon Master Ball reverse holo is currently the most expensive card in the set.

Possible God-Packs?
In Terastal Festival ex, we have seen confirmed God Packs. These packs contain multiple high-rarity hits, such as Eeveelution SARs or SIRs. Although it is not confirmed yet on the English side, We did see Pokemon add something similar to God Packs in Pokemon-151, where you could pull an entire starter evolution line in a single pack. Many collectors are expecting Pokemon to do something similar with Prismatic Evolutions.

Prismatic Evolutions Top Cards

Since we have Terastal Festival prices to reference, we can make some assumptions about which cards are likely to be the most expensive cards in Prismatic Evolutions. As you may have guessed, there is a strong preference for the Eeveelutions, just like we saw in Evolving Skies.

Here are the best cards from Terastal Festival ex, and the likely top pulls for Prismatic Evolutions:

What to Buy for Prismatic Evolutions

Because Prismatic Evolutions is a specialty set, this means there will be no booster box available to purchase. Instead, Pokemon will release a host of boxed products such as ETBs, poster collections, mini-tins, and a special Surprise Box. For a more comprehensive list of product releases for Prismatic Evolutions, be sure to check out our Prismatic Evolutions Buying Guide.

Here are some of the best products to buy for Prismatic Evolutions:

Elite Trainer Box

	What's Inside? 9 booster packs, 1 full-art promo, TCG accessories. Check eBay Check Amazon
The Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box is currently going for around $120 on the open market at the time of writing.

The Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box is probably your safest bet when it comes to getting a good product with a decent chance at pulls. The Prismatic Evolutions ETB includes the SVP-173 Eevee promo card which is already going for around $30 on the secondary market, so that helps offset some of the cost of the box. The MSRP of the Prismatic Evolutions ETB is $59.99, so be aware of inflated prices on the secondary market. Finding one of these boxes at MSRP in-store would be an amazing value.

Booster Bundle

	What's Inside? 6 booster packs. Check eBay Check Amazon
The Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle is currently going for around $75 on the open market at the time of writing.

The Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle is basically a small booster box. Instead of 36 packs, you get 6 booster packs. A lot of collectors love opening these boxes because they don't contain all the random TCG accessories and packaging that is standard in other products like ETBs and collection boxes. The Prismatic Evolutions booster bundle, like most booster bundles, has an MSRP of $26.94.

Surprise Box

	What's Inside? 4 booster packs, 1 storage box, 1 etched promo. Check eBay Check Amazon
The Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box is currently going for around $65 on the open market at the time of writing.

The Surprise Box for Prismatic Evolutions is an interesting option since it comes with a random Eeveelution promo. We can fully expect the Umbreon card from this box to reach absurd premiums in a PSA 10 since there is only a 1 in 9 chance of your box containing the card. The Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box has an MSRP of $22.99.

Booster Packs

	What's Inside? loose booster packs. Check eBay Check Amazon
The Prismatic Evolutions Booster Packs is currently going for around $15 on the open market at the time of writing.

If nothing else, be sure to keep an eye on the price of Prismatic Evolutions booster packs after release day. As people start getting their products, we could possibly see more booster packs hitting the market as stores break down sealed products to sell stock more quickly. We can't be sure if loose packs will necessarily be safe to purchase for this set, so stick with only trustworthy stores if you are buying loose packs.

Where to Buy Prismatic Evolutions?

Prismatic Evolutions will be available to purchase from most major retailers in person or online. It is worth noting that this set has been extremely hard to get for MSRP since scalpers have been buying up the supply. If you are lucky enough to find Prismatic Evolutions in-person on release day (January 17th) at a Walmart, GameStop, Target, or any other major retailer, then it is likely the best price you’ll find for the set.
