Pokémon Card Price Revision: Which Japanese Products the Notice Affects

The Pokémon Card Price Revision is an official notice dated November 6, 2026 that raises the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of a 5-card expansion pack in Japan from 200 yen to 230 yen (tax included) for some new Pokémon Card Game products released from May 2027 onward.

Updated November 6, 2026

What Are the Key Facts of the Pokémon Card Price Revision?

The key facts fit in one table, and every row comes from the official notice. While you read, our shop lists other Japanese sets that are available now, such as the Unsealed MEGA Booster Box “30th CELEBRATION” (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청) and the PSA10 MEGA Dragonite ex MA from “MEGA Dream ex”. They are separate sets and have nothing to do with the notice itself.

What Is the Pokémon Card Price Revision Announced on November 6, 2026?

It is a short official announcement that the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of some new Pokémon Card Game products will be revised from May 2027. The notice sits on the official Pokémon Card Game homepage under the title “Notice of Price Revision for Some Products” and carries the date 2026.11.6.

The wording is brief. It thanks customers for their continued patronage, says the company is affected by rising raw material costs, and states that for some new products released from May 2027 onward the suggested retail price changes as shown in a table. It closes by asking for continued support. The text contains no product list, no card list and no release schedule.

That shapes how to read it. This is not a set announcement like a new expansion or a high-class pack. There is no set code to learn, no featured Pokémon and no chase list. The only numbers are the pack prices in the table. If you arrived looking for a card list, the notice has none. The useful questions are which products the table names, how large the change is, and how it sits next to the prices that official pages list for sets that are already out.

A few terms from the notice help when you read Japanese official pages:

• Price revision (kakaku kaitei): the notice’s term for a change in price. In this notice the figures show an increase.
• Manufacturer’s suggested retail price: the price type the notice revises. It is a suggested price, not a fixed shelf price.
• Expansion pack: the standard booster pack. The notice specifies the 5-card version.
• Tax included: the listed prices include Japanese tax.
• Released from May 2027: the effective boundary. Products released up to April 2027 sit in the earlier column.

Which Products Does the Price Revision Name?

The only product the table names is the 5-card expansion pack, and the revision applies to some new products released from May 2027 onward. The official table has one row: expansion packs (5 cards) at 200 yen tax included for products released up to April 2027, and 230 yen tax included for products released from May 2027.

Two official notes sit under the table:

1. Some expansion packs may be priced differently. The 230 yen figure is the standard line in the table, not a promise for every pack. Individual products can carry another price.
2. Products outside the listed price lineup are priced per product. The notice gives no blanket figure for anything that is not the 5-card expansion pack row. Each such product gets its own price.

The notice says “some new products”. It names no sets, so it cannot tell you which future release will carry the 230 yen price. What it does give you is the rule you can apply when a set is announced: look at the release month and the pack type.

Single cards and graded cards are not in the table, so the notice gives no price for them. The same is true of booster boxes: the table lists the pack only.

How Much Does the Price Change?

A 5-card expansion pack rises by 30 yen, from 200 yen to 230 yen, which is a 15% increase on the suggested retail price. That is arithmetic on the two official numbers, not a figure the notice states itself.

The table below shows the same step per card and per ten packs. These are simple calculations from the official pack price, not totals for any particular product.

Two points keep the change in proportion. First, the figures are in yen with Japanese tax included. Orders from our shop are paid in yen too, and the payment methods page says that any difference between the amount charged and the amount on your statement, such as exchange rates or conversion fees, is determined by your payment provider or financial institution. Second, the notice is about the suggested price of a pack. A box, a card set or a graded card is a different product with a different price, so this guide does not convert the pack figure into a figure for them.

What Do Official Pages Show for Pack Prices Today?

Official set pages list prices in yen product by product, and the sets released in 2026 show a range from 180 yen for a standard 5-card pack to 360 yen for the 30th CELEBRATION pack. The table collects the figures that appear on the official pages for these sets.

Read this table as a snapshot of what official pages state, not as a list of what the notice covers. The notice’s table names the 5-card expansion pack only. The M3 pack at 180 yen is a 5-card pack, the same pack type the notice describes. The 30th CELEBRATION pack has six shiny 팩당 카드 and its own 360 yen price, and it belongs to a product line with its own pricing page. The notice does not mention either set by name.

The official news post of June 8, 2026 about My Number Card verification for Pokémon Center Online lottery sales lists the 30th anniversary prices in the same way: 30th CELEBRATION BOX 7,200 yen, FUTURISTIC BOX 27,500 yen, Premium Deck Set Eevee-Blacky 6,200 yen, and the nine-type Card Set 10,800 yen (1,200 yen each). That post is about identity checks for lottery sales and does not mention price revisions.

The M3 page also gives a view of what a special set contains at its listed price. The Special Card Set Mega Gallade ex at 1,980 yen includes one Mega Gallade ex promo card (shiny), two Power Protein promo cards (shiny), one Ralts promo, one Kirlia promo, eight Munikis Zero packs and one Pokémon coin. That is a bundle price with a pack count inside it, so it is a different kind of figure from the single-pack line in the notice.

Does the Notice Apply to English-Language Pokémon TCG Products?

The notice itself speaks only about Japanese suggested retail prices in yen on the Japanese Pokémon Card Game site, and it says nothing about English-language products. English-language pages on pokemon.com list release information and contents without a price in the sources used here.

Take the English Mega Evolution—Perfect Order expansion as an example. The Pokémon press release gives prerelease tournaments from March 14, 2026, the Pokémon TCG Live digital release on March 26, 2026 and the tabletop release on March 27, 2026 at participating retailers worldwide. Its noteworthy contents are four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, nine Pokémon ex, 11 illustration rare Pokémon, 18 ultra rare Pokémon and Trainer cards, and six special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards. It is available in booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes and various collections. The debuting Mega Evolution Pokémon ex are Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Starmie ex, Mega Clefable ex and Mega Skarmory ex, and Mega Evolution Pokémon ex give up three Prize cards when Knocked Out.

The Pokémon.com release news adds that the expansion has over 120 cards, including Mega-Evolved Pokémon and Pokémon ex, Special Energy, and Lumiose City as a new Stadium card. The Elite Trainer Box page lists nine booster packs, one full-art foil promo card featuring Tyrunt, 65 card sleeves, 40 Pokémon TCG Energy cards, a player’s guide, six damage-counter dice, one competition-legal coin-flip die, one plastic coin, a collector’s box with six dividers and a code card for Pokémon Trading Card Game Live. The page does not list a price. A card spotlight article names Talonflame, Mega Zygarde ex (an ultra rare with the attacks Gaia Wave and Nullifying Zero), Telepathic Psychic Energy, Serperior and Rosa’s Encouragement from the same expansion.

None of these pages connect to the November 6 notice. They are useful for one reason: they show that English-language release pages and Japanese price notices are separate documents. A yen price in a Japanese notice is not a statement about any other market.

How Should Collectors Outside Japan Use This Notice?

Use it as an official date marker for the pack price line: 200 yen up to April 2027 and 230 yen from May 2027 for the 5-card expansion pack, with exceptions allowed for some packs. It is the source for those figures and nothing more.

A practical way to apply it:

1. Check the release month. When a new Japanese set is announced, compare its release month with the May 2027 cutoff in the table.
2. Check the pack type. A 5-card expansion pack matches the table. A different pack type, a box or a special set follows its own price, as the M3 and 30th CELEBRATION pages show.
3. Keep the wording in view. The notice says “some” products and “some” packs. Do not read 230 yen as a price for every pack.
4. Remember that official figures are in yen with tax included. If you order from our shop, you pay in yen, and your payment provider determines any exchange-rate difference on your statement.
5. Use the official page for the source of truth. The notice lives at pokemon-card.com/info/005755.html. Set-specific prices appear on each set’s own official page.

The decisive recommendation for a collector who buys Japanese packs regularly is simple: track set release months, not the notice date. The notice date, November 6, 2026, matters far less than the month a given product is released, because the table separates products at April and May 2027.

Which Japanese Sets Are Available Now While You Wait?

Our shop lists the 30th CELEBRATION, Inferno X and MEGA Dream ex sets now. They are other Japanese Pokémon sets that already exist, separate from the price notice, and you can look at them while you follow the news.

If you want a single recommendation, pick by what you collect. Choose the booster box if you want a box, the card set if you want the nine-type set, and a PSA 10 listing if you want one graded card from Inferno X or MEGA Dream ex.

The 30th CELEBRATION pack is a good example of why a pack-type check matters. The official site says each pack holds six shiny cards at random, with one guaranteed Pikachu card and one guaranteed basic energy card, in designs by YOSHIROTTEN. FUR (Futuristic Rare) is a new rarity for Mew ex and Mewtwo ex. The set has 30 special Pikachu shiny cards and 30 anniversary reprint cards, and the reprinted cards cannot be used in the current Standard regulation but can be used in any regulation where the originals are legal. It launched on September 16, 2026, simultaneously worldwide, at 360 yen tax included.

For buying details on that set, read Where to Buy 30th Celebration Japanese Boxes: M6a Box, Carton and Sets. For the high-class pack, read Mega Dream ex Pre-Order Guide: 일본 발매일 and How to Buy. An official deck article features Munikis Zero (M3), Black Bolt (SV11B), Wild Force (SV5K) and the high-class pack MEGA Dream ex (M2a), and it contains no price information.

How Do Shipping and Payment Work for Overseas Orders?

Our shipping uses FedEx, with a standard and an expedited option, and all payments are made in Japanese yen. The details come from the shipping policy and the payment methods page.

The shipping policy also says that once an order has been handed to FedEx, delivery timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities, and that customs inspections and import procedures may delay delivery. Delivery dates shown on the website, at checkout or in carrier tools are estimates, and they do not include handling time, weekends, Japanese national holidays or customs processing.

On the payment side, Wise bank transfer is the only method without the 5% payment processing fee. If you pay by Wise without uploading a screenshot, the order is cancelled automatically if payment has not arrived within 12 hours. With a screenshot, upload within 5 days and the order price is held for a total of 10 days. The screenshot option requires an account. PayPal Pay Later is offered and operated by PayPal, and availability depends on your country.

What Should You Watch After This Notice?

Watch the release month of each new Japanese set, because the notice ties the 230 yen line to products released from May 2027. The notice sets 230 yen per 5-card expansion pack as the standard line and states that some packs may differ.

• Release month: April 2027 or earlier points to the 200 yen column. May 2027 or later points to the 230 yen column.
• Product type: a standard 5-card expansion pack matches the table. Products outside the listed price lineup are priced per product.
• Official set pages: each set’s own page lists its suggested price, as the M3 and 30th CELEBRATION pages do.
• Wording: “some” products and “some” packs appear in the notice. Do not read it as covering every product.

The notice’s only forward-looking element is its effective date, May 2027. This guide adds no further outlook beyond what the official page states.

Bottom Line: What Is the Pokémon Card Price Revision?

The Pokémon Card Price Revision announced on November 6, 2026 moves the suggested retail price of a 5-card expansion pack from 200 yen to 230 yen, tax included, for some new products released from May 2027. Products released up to April 2027 sit at 200 yen, some packs may be priced differently, and products outside the listed price lineup are priced one by one.

Use the release month of each set as your guide to which column applies, and use each set’s official page for its own price. Related reading on our site: the M3 release date guide, the 30th CELEBRATION buying guide and the Mega Dream ex guide.
