[ENG] SV08.5 Prismatic Evolution / [JP] SV8a Terastal Festival

Same, i bought like 11 SARs from the set including the roaring moon and raging bolt and it was like $90 CAD lol. Most of them are <1000 yen. I guess the eeveelutions are taking the attention away from some incredible cards. Fantastic value here!!

I agree! lol. Curious what you’d expect to happen next. This does feel more like shining fates imo. Overly speculated, later gets print nuked into the ground. I will term it “The Vindictive Reprint”. We could see more of a shining fates situation. ETBs were likewise over $100 per ETB on release, IIRC it was $150? Check me on that memory though.

Bring on The Vindictive Printing of prismatic evolutions… plis pokeymanz companee!

It’s all in the hands of TPC. I’m not sure what will happen in the short term, but I will expect this set (alongside the upcoming Team Rocket set and 151) to be the best of the S/V Era.

There is a very important difference between Shining Fates and Prismatic Evolutions though: Prismatic Evolutions doesn’t suck :stuck_out_tongue:
A set with only 1 real chase card, much higher pull rates, and a much smaller pool of cards in the highest rarity is not gonna hold up as well, I expect Prismatic to do much better even if it gets printed into the ground

Thanks for the detailed response. I agree that I didn’t think it was a specific event, but the pile up of many things in modern we have been seeing. I’ll be interested to see where we are in modern come 6 months from now.

Thanks for the insight. With all you’ve said plus the big investor mentality of many today I can see how a fervor could be caused in modern with all these factors.

who won out on this trade?

based on the user name, the sealed blastoise pack may have been a goal of theirs, making it an easy trade

Adorned backgrounds of the French Grimoire edition of Shirahama’s Witch Hat Atelier, and her SAR Glaceon ex

I love her intricate designs and linework shadowing with unique bordering. That grimoire looks wonderful. Wish she had more freedom with the pokemon to embellish it some since those have felt distinctly not in her style but I’m going to need to get a copy of the glaceon in japanese to see that backgrounds texture.

I got a pack with a masterball reverse holo and a pokeball reverse holo. Just thought I’d chime in with that fun fact for the english prismatic evolutions set.

You could use that as a “get out of jail free” card when being pulled over

Has this been discussed yet? According to the ETB booklet, the collection box coming in Sept 2025 will have an Espeon ex and Umbreon ex in it.

New artworks or putting the set card chase cards in a promo box???

weird. i know some people are pretty savvy with product info cycles who may have an idea of when we’ll likely see more on this

I highly doubt the cards will be the current chase cards. Probably boring regular ex or new alts from a later set (high class)

I guess people do read my posts. Pokebeach published it after I brought it up

If Pokémon putting the actual chase cards inside this set and mass producing would be an incredible troll. Imagine spending thousands on Umbreon ex on release and then a few months later it’s $10.

I am assuming new artworks. But it would be funny to see. Those 2 cards are like $2k and people are silly enough to buy them

That’s what happened with umbreon ex and espeon ex from undaunted right ?

Undaunted was a couple of years before I got back in, but yes it basically did. The Prime cards were included in a promo box. Those prime cards were always lower in price because they were in the set and the promo box, wiith no differences
