You just have to pre-order a bunch like I did. I’ll also be ordering two cases of the terastal festivalIf you thought it was difficult to get Evolving Skies and 151 cards, get ready for this

How were you able to get 18 orders? Is it linked to account, address, name, email, phone number, credit card?They'll be back for sure. Managed to get 36 (18 orders of 2, with my brothers using their accounts as well). And before you say scalper, no, Pokemon has now forced us to get multiples to get all 9 etched promos. At least this way, any multiples I get, I can trade for missing ones. And let that sink in. If I get 9, and say I got 3 flareon, 2 espeon, 1 eevee, 1 glaceon, 1 sylveon, and 1 leafeon, I DEFINITELY can't say, "hey, I'm missing Jolteon, Umbreon, etc, ill trade you my flareon etched promo for your Umbreon" Ain't happening. People go off of market value. AND Umbreon would undoubtedly be the most expensive etched one. So I'd need the equivalent of 6 other etched promos just to trade for 1 Umbreon, hence me getting many boxes. Opening packs, collecting promos, testing the hit ratio, and trading duplicates for ones I'm missing.
Scarlet and Violet ETBs as far as I’ve seen are all just stamped Pokémon center but visually identical- not nearly as cool as the Alt art boxes of the past - in my mind I remember fusion strike was really coolLooks like the cover design for the PC etb is exactly the same as the regular ETB (except the pokemon center label). usually they are at least slightly different
youre also confused …. And I hope they don’t cancel all your orders for it!!! The surprise box that releases later on in the release cycle has the 1 of 9 promos and 5 packs - the Pokémon center ETBs all have the Eevee Illustration rare in it….They'll be back for sure.

I assume you ordered the ETBs which have no etched cards….so yeah, scalper lol.They'll be back for sure. Managed to get 36 (18 orders of 2, with my brothers using their accounts as well).

Ah snap. Got caught in the moment reading the article too quick. Yeah, you're correct. The etched promo is not in the etb. I'll be canceling a few etb. The etched ones are the ones I want to get them graded.Scarlet and Violet ETBs as far as I’ve seen are all just stamped Pokémon center but visually identical- not nearly as cool as the Alt art boxes of the past - in my mind I remember fusion strike was really cool

In TCG I like Stellar type pokemons much more than VMAX and really hope Umbreon ex SIR not gonna be so expensive and can easy buy it when set is releasedEvolving Skies also had worse pull rates than any SV set, massive product shortages due to being released during the pandemic, four or five tiers of rarity of most of the Eeveelutions, chase cards stolen at the factories, and Rayquaza and Dragonite (two Pokemon capable of headlining a set themselves) also shoved in. Some Eevee chase cards wearing the hats nobody likes doesn't make this Evolving Skies again.
