How many languages are printed for the Evolutions set?

Hi i was wondering how many total languages does the Evolution set have? So far i know English, Japan(cp6), Korean(cp6), Italian, German, French and Spanish. Are Portugese, Dutch, Chinese and Russian languages printed too?

No to all four. Only the seven you named are printed in Evolutions (English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean).

  • Portuguese skipped this set and printed it in English instead. Just got this confirmed by my Brazilian contact yesterday and I heard the same from someone else from Brazil a few months ago.
  • Dutch hasn’t had any prints since Jungle, and I don’t see it happen anymore. I’m Dutch myself, and Pokémon isn’t very popular in toy stores anymore. At least, not near me and not in the toy store I used to buy Pokémon cards in my youth. There are still loads of Dutch collectors, but most buy them online or in bigger cities a.f.a.i.k.
  • Chinese also hasn’t had any prints since Base, apart from a brief print of EX Legend Maker, some POP promo cards and the Plusle and Minun Deck in 2006. More info here in this E4 article.
  • Russian will most likely print XY Evolutions (I think/hope), but they are a bit behind in prints. The last set printed was Flashfire if I’m not mistaken, and they skipped Generations. When XY Evolutions will be released I will hear so from my Russian contact, since it contains Pikachus. :blush:
  • And just to add the only other Pokémon language for completeness: Polish cards also haven’t been printed since Mysterious Treasures and the Pikachu World Collection of 2010.

Thanks a ton good sir!! This is valuable information that i will keep referring to in the future. I personally have not seen a russian card before so hopefully Evolutions will be printed in Russian so that i can snag some charizards. Thanks again for the great info!!! :grin:

Bumping an 8 year old thread, nice. If this doesn’t count as new info and should be it’s own thread, oopsie daisies! Happy to start a new one or have it split into a new one.

I did want to follow up here @Quuador, I haven’t seen any evolutions cards in Portuguese, but came across this ebay listing. Is it a fake card? Were some XY Evolutions cards released in Portuguese outside of a formal set release? Am I an ignorant American and this isn’t even Portuguese?

Wth :eyes: First time seeing a Portuguese XY Evolution card indeed, although I don’t see any indication of it being fake, weird enough. :pikaconfused:

I’ve send the seller a question regarding release information, and whether the entire XY Evolution set was released in Portuguese after all. Very confusing though, but thanks a lot for sharing.

If someone does see any indication of this card being fake, lmk please. On first glance I don’t see anything wrong with it…

Wanted to wait for another answer first, but as that now indeed seems to be new territory: I’ve tried to find some sort of collection box release or something similar explaining the existence of this card, but didn’t see anything. What I did see though is that on Ligapokemon the following other cards also have at least one listing for the Portuguese version:

Venusaur EX 1/108 (even with a picture, so this card is also confirmed):

Weedle 5/108

M Charizard EX 14/108

Ninetales 15/108

Growlithe 17/108

Blastoise EX 21/108

Staryu 30/108

Magneton 38/108

Nidoking TURBO 46/108

Mewtwo EX 52/108

Machamp TURBO 60/108

Pidgeot EX 64/108

Dragonite EX 72/108

Valentia do Brock 74/108

Elo Espiritual de Charizard 75/108

Pokédex 82/108

Poção 83/108

M Venusaur EX 100/108

M Charizard EX 101/108

Weird. Maybe it was very, very short-printed? :pikathink: If you come across a non-holo or RH Pikachu, lmk. :wink: I’ll also search a bit more when I have some time. Currently at work.

@Will @Ratequaza Just got a response from the Charizard seller:

I’ve asked for some additional information regarding this Easter promotion, but I’m happy to say I won’t have to search for another rare Pikachu card. There are enough of those already. :wink:

EDIT: He’s still searching for the release date, but this is the product these six cards were released in:

Amazing seller to answer some of my questions, even though I’m not really interested in buying the Charizard myself.

Very cool! That is a very helpful seller, thanks for following up with them quuador.

@Ratequaza would you assume then that the listings you’re seeing are just mislabeled? I’m not familiar with the website, that may be common.

Yeah, I would assume that for the cards not mentioned by the seller to quuador. While I don’t really use Ligapokemon, I have seen the wrong language being selected on Cardmarket plenty of times
