Pokemon 151 Booster Bundle & ETB vs the Japanese 151 Box (SV2a)

Pokemon 151 Booster Bundle & ETB vs the Japanese 151 Box (SV2a)

The Pokemon 151 Booster Bundle is the pack product of an English set whose official pages list no booster display. Pokemon.com lists Scarlet & Violet—151 with a release date of September 22, 2023 and over 160 cards. Japan’s official page for Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) lists a release of June 16, 2023, sold as an Enhanced Expansion Pack at ¥290 per pack with 7 cards.

No official source states that the English set and the Japanese set are the same. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) pairs Pokémon Card 151 with the English 151; that is a community wiki’s set-level pairing, not an official statement. The Japanese box has its own guide: our Pokemon 151 booster box buying guide.

We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures use ¥154/USD, verified September 29, 2026.

The English 151 Product Lineup

Pokemon.com’s set page gives September 22, 2023 as the release date and says the set has over 160 cards. Beyond the products in the table, the set page names a Binder Collection, a Poster Collection, a Collection—Alakazam ex, a Collection—Zapdos ex and a Mini Tin without contents in the listing. None of the pages prints an MSRP.

Spec Table: English ETB vs the Japanese Box

An English ETB and a Japanese booster box are different kinds of product. The table lines up what each page states and marks what neither states.

Spec English Elite Trainer Box Japanese Pokémon Card 151 box (SV2a)
Release September 22, 2023 June 16, 2023
Format Elite Trainer Box with accessories Enhanced Expansion Pack, sold as packs and boxes
Cards per pack Not stated on the ETB page 7
Promo card 1 full-art foil featuring Snorlax Not stated on the official page
Set size Over 160 cards Numbered out of 165; highest number on SNKRDUNK’s list is 210/165
Our listing Not sold by us Sealed option ¥44,502 (~$289)

As of September 29, 2026, the English ETB is a box of nine packs with accessories, and the Japanese box is packs alone; the official Japanese page lists no accessories.

Same Cards, Card by Card

No official source equates any English 151 card with a Japanese card. The matches below are the ones Limitless lists, labelled as a third-party database, not as an official statement.

English card + number Japanese card + number + set Source and status Our listing
Scyther, Scarlet & Violet—151 #123 Scyther SV2a 123, U, illustrator Hideki Ishikawa Limitless (third-party database) Master Ball Mirror print: PSA 10 back order ¥22,236 (~$144)
Tangela, Scarlet & Violet—151 #114 and #178 Tangela SV2a 114, C, illustrator Aya Kusube Limitless (third-party database) Not listed
Tangela, Scarlet & Violet—151 #114 and #178 Tangela SV2a 178, AR, illustrator Oswaldo KATO Limitless (third-party database) PSA 10 back order ¥6,402 (~$42)

Limitless lists both English numbers for the two Tangela prints without saying which number pairs with which Japanese card. The Japanese Scyther also has a Pokémon Card Gym promo print that Limitless ties to the same English number.

The English promos and collections are a different case. The table below lines up the Pokémon named on English products with Japanese SV2a cards of the same species. It is a same-Pokémon list, not a card match.

The Japanese 151 Boxes We List

Three Japanese box listings carry Pokémon Card 151. The Sealed box is a variable product, so the table prices only the option that is currently listed.

Listing Option Currently listed
SV2A-Pokemon 151 Japanese Pokemon Booster Box Sealed ¥44,502 (~$289)

Japanese 151 Chase Cards with Dated Asks

As of September 29, 2026, these are the highest Japanese 151 singles by SNKRDUNK ask that we list as PSA 10 cards. The six singles below are offered as back orders: sourced to order, with the product page showing the current terms. The PSA 10 back order guide explains how that works. For the Master Ball Mirror cards the official database has one entry for the base card, so its image shows the base card, not the mirror pattern.

Reported Pull Rates, Not Official

Japan’s official page does not publish pull rates. The only per-box figures for this set come from a community outlet, and they are shown here only as reported.

Reported, not official: community tally (unverified), published by ポケゲトちゃんねる on June 15, 2023, based on 1,000 boxes
Rarity Reported per-box rate Card types
AR 3 per box 18
SR (Pokémon) About 60% 12
SR (Supporter) About 20% 4
SAR About 20% 8
UR About 10% 3
Monster Ball Mirror About 16 per box 153
Master Ball Mirror 1 per box, marked as guaranteed by the outlet 153

The outlet notes that no official statement guarantees an SR or better in a box, and its own SR-guarantee check used a smaller sample of 960 boxes. Read the table as one tally, not as odds. Our Pokemon Card 151 pull rates page covers the report in more detail.

Which Route Fits Which Buyer

  • A sealed English product: the ETB, Pokémon Center ETB, Booster Bundle, Ultra-Premium Collection and collections are Pokemon.com and Pokémon Center products. We do not sell them.
  • A Japanese box of packs: the Sealed box is the option to compare with a booster display.
  • The chase cards: the Master Ball Mirror and SAR cards above are listed as PSA 10 back orders.
  • Checking a card number: a Japanese card number tells you the Japanese set. It does not tell you an English equivalent unless a source lists the match, as in the table above.

Our 30th Celebration vs Pokemon 151 page compares the Japanese 151 box with another Japanese box.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many packs are in the Pokemon 151 ETB?

The official Scarlet & Violet—151 Elite Trainer Box holds nine booster packs and one full-art foil promo featuring Snorlax, plus sleeves, Energy cards and standard ETB accessories. The Pokémon Center version holds eleven packs and two Snorlax promos, one with the Pokémon Center logo.

When did Pokemon 151 release in English and in Japan?

Pokemon.com lists the English set release as September 22, 2023, with the Ultra-Premium Collection on October 6, 2023. Japan’s official page lists Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) as released on June 16, 2023. No official source says the two sets are the same.

How much does the Pokemon 151 Booster Bundle cost?

Pokemon.com prints no price on any 151 product page, so the MSRP is not stated officially, and the set page does not give the bundle’s pack count. The Japanese official page prices Pokémon Card 151 at ¥290 per pack and gives no box price.

How many cards are in Pokemon 151?

Pokemon.com says the English set has over 160 cards. The Japanese Pokémon Card 151 cards are numbered out of 165, and SNKRDUNK’s singles list runs as high as 210/165. The two counts describe different sets, so they should not be treated as one number.

Is there an English Pokemon 151 booster box?

Pokemon.com’s product gallery and set pages list no English 151 booster display. They list an ETB, Pokémon Center ETB, Booster Bundle, Binder Collection, Poster Collection, Ultra-Premium Collection, two Pokémon ex collections and a Mini Tin. No official page says a display does not exist.

What is in the Pokemon 151 Ultra-Premium Collection?

The official collection launched October 6, 2023 with 16 booster packs, an etched foil Mew ex promo, a full-art foil Mewtwo promo, an etched metal Mew ex card, a playmat, a deck box, a metallic Mew coin, six damage-counter dice, two condition markers and a TCG Live code.

How much is the Japanese Pokemon 151 booster box?

Our Japanese Pokémon Card 151 box is currently listed at ¥44,502 (~$289) for the Sealed option; the No Shrink option is sold out at the time of this update. The Damaged Box is listed at ¥44,041 (~$286) and the Grade B box at ¥43,118 (~$280).
