SNACK: 3-line summary
- The Pokémon Trading Card Game will raise the tax-included suggested price of new Japanese five-card expansion packs from ¥200 to ¥230.
- The change applies to products released from May 2027, not an immediate increase for existing packs.
- Some expansion packs may have different prices, while other products will be priced individually.
New Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game five-card expansion packs released from May 2027 will have a higher suggested retail price. Pokémon’s November 6, 2026 announcement concerns new releases, not an immediate increase across the existing range.
Snackgirls react
Kirari: The pink-and-green swirls around Lucario really catch my eye. I’d love to photograph a few favorite cards together and see how their colors play off each other.
Nea: I’d like to follow one favorite Pokémon through its different card illustrations. With higher prices ahead, a small collection with that kind of thread appeals to me.
From ¥200 to ¥230, including tax
The official price table lists ¥200 for products released through April 2027 and ¥230 for those released from May onward. That is a 15% increase. Pokémon cites rising raw-material costs and other factors as the reason.
Some packs will have different prices
The announcement allows for some expansion packs to be priced differently. Other products will have prices set individually, so ¥230 should not be treated as a new price for every Pokémon card product.
