“Collect 151 Journey” Set Releasing in China With Exclusive Alternate Artwork and Reverse Holos!
On January 17th, the 151 set will release in China as Collect 151 Journey! The set will also include relevant secret rares from Paldean Fates, such as shiny Pidgey and Ditto.
There will be two booster packs available, one with five cards (and a holo) and one with 20 cards (and seven holos).
This will be one of four Collect 151 booster packs releasing in China in 2025. Each pack will add more 151 cards to collect and change the inclusion rates of certain cards.
The cards will be released with Poke Ball and Master Ball reverse holos. They have new designs that differ from Japan’s Pokemon Card 151 set.
A Collect 151 booster pack will also release in China on January 17th. You can earn it for free at real-world events. You will be able to pull exclusive alternate art cards from this pack. These cards haven’t released anywhere else in the world, including Japan, so they will likely remain exclusive to China.
China will also be releasing binders for every single Generation I Pokemon. Each binder can hold 9-card pages. The binders are randomly sealed, so you won’t know which binder you’ll be purchasing.
Releases for Simplified Chinese cards started a few years ago, so China has been releasing compilation sets to catch up quickly with the rest of the world. They are entering the Scarlet & Violet era on January 17th with their Eternal Birth set.
More 151 alternate artwork cards should be revealed over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
