Japan Pokémon TCG Expansion Pack rises from 200 yen to 230 yen in May 2027
Japanese Pokémon TCG Expansion Packs of 5 cards will cost more: the suggested retail price moves from 200 yen to 230 yen, both tax included (about $1.30 to $1.50). The new price applies to products released from May 2027 onward, while those released through April 2027 stay at 200 yen. The stated reason is rising raw material costs, and some packs may differ from 230 yen. The notice was posted on the official Pokémon Card Game site on November 6, 2026, and covers only some new products; the Expansion Pack is the line listed in the price table. Products in other price tiers will have their prices set individually, product by product. Dollar figures are approximate conversions at the European Central Bank reference rate of November 5, 2026, and retail prices outside Japan are set by local distributors and usually differ.
