Rising prices!


The Pokemon Company has announced for Japan that the manufacturer's suggested retail price of some Pokemon Card Game products will get a price increase starting in May 2027.

 

The reason they stated for this is that the raw materials and other factors are rising in price. 

 

Booster Packs (5 cards) released after May 2027, will now cost 230 yen per pack, instead of 200 yen.

 

That means a Booster box of 30 (5-card) booster packs, will now cost 6900 yen instead of 6000 yen.


Last year in 2026, it also went through a price increase from 180 yen to 200 yen.

 

In the past, the Booster Pack price also increased from 165 yen (before Scarlet Violet ) to 180 yen before in January 2023 with the start of Scarlet & Violet.

 

That's a price increase of 39.39% since Scarlet & Violet TCG released and after SV released, the price increased by 27.77% so far.
