New Pokemon TCG Collaboration with Artist Yu Nagaba!
The Pokemon TCG has announced a second collaboration with artist Yu Nagaba! The first collaboration with him was in July 2021. He’s famous for his line illustrations.
A “YU NAGABA x Pokemon Card Game Eevee’s Special Box” will release on May 24th for 4,800 yen. It will include a long card box, a rubber playmat, a set of card sleeves, and a deck box featuring his artwork.
A 9-pocket portfolio and card display frame will also release on May 24th. The portfolio will cost 1,980 yen and include ten 9-pocket pages that can store 180 cards. The display frame will cost 1,490 yen.
The above items can only be purchased through lotteries on the Japanese Pokemon Center website. As of posting this news story, the website is down due to the traffic for these items.
Starting May 24th, for every 1,000 yen of Pokemon TCG products purchased from the Pokemon Center, fans will also receive a promo card of Eevee or its Evolutions (up to 10 cards max). Those who win the lotteries for the above products will also receive one promo for every item they purchase, except for the Eevee Special Box, where you’ll get four promos.
