The Prismatic Evolutions surprise box sold out in less than a day on the Pokemon Center website! So that’s interesting.
I did say that this was going to happen, Prismatic Evolutions has plenty of hype behind it and every pre order is going to sell out as fast as can be. I believe there are still pre orders for multiple Prismatic Evolutions products on multiple websites but I’m not going to go round them up just yet.
However despite selling out of surprise boxes it seems the general consensus on Reddit is that Prismatic Evoloutions Pokemon are ugly as heck. Which makes sense when you stop for a second and think about all of those jewel crowns. They’re all up in everyone’s business, making the actual Pokemon harder to see and appreciate. I wouldn’t be surprised if Prismatic Evolutions got the vote for ugliest set in the Scarlet & Violet era.

I would die on that hill too. Despite putting in pre orders for a couple Prismatic Evolutions products myself I am not sure this is going to be the prettiest set the Pokemon Company has ever made. The cards look very busy and the hats of jewels is a tad weird. I get that the Pokemon Company is trying to advertise their new game mechanic, that makes sense, but are you telling me there wasn’t a way to tighten the card’s art up a bit?
But that’s hype. It can carry people into a frenzy over even the ugliest sets. It’s unsurprising the surprise box sold out. Prismatic Evolutions is a special set of course so everyone is betting supplies of product will be more limited than normal and that’s leading everyone to go into full hoarder mode. People feel the value of Prismatic Evolutions products have nowhere to go but up. Even if Prismatic Evolutions does get a reprint in future it would probably be a small one. The Pokemon Comapny’s printers are busy as heck these days with all the sets they put out per year. I doubt there’s room for a huge print run in any of their facilities.
Anyway, get your pre orders in as soon as possible! And don’t let your fear of missing out make you order too much product! Pokemon is an expensive hobby and you’ve got to be careful!
