Scarlet & Violet 151 buying guide
Scarlet & Violet era
All 151 original Pokémon in modern cards, from 2023. Charizard ex, Mew ex and the Special Illustration Rares of Kanto favourites are the big pulls.
About Scarlet & Violet 151
Alongside Charizard ex and Mew ex, collectors look for the Special Illustration Rares of Erika's Invitation, Alakazam ex and the Kanto starters.
It's a special set, so there's no English booster box — packs came in Elite Trainer Boxes, booster bundles and collections, including the Ultra-Premium Collection with its metal Mew cards.

Questions collectors ask
- What can I buy for Scarlet & Violet 151?
- Scarlet & Violet 151 comes as Elite Trainer Boxes, Booster Bundles, Booster Packs, Collection Boxes and more. Each one in the Shop shows what it's worth today and who's selling it.
- Booster bundle or Elite Trainer Box?
