Long-Lost “Jirachi V Box” Now Available in the U.S.!

[Water Pokémon Master]

Our wishes have been granted!
The missing Jirachi V Box is now appearing at Walmart stores in the United States for $21.99. This is a full year after its release in Europe. It’s currently unclear if it will be a store-exclusive product. The photo below was sent to us by Rich W.

The Jirachi V Box has been the subject of much intrigue. It first released in Europe in August 2023. Strangely, this was a full year after the reign of Pokemon V were over.

Saw it for the first time in Smyth's yesterday (UK)

Best not be Walmart exclusive, they got rid of their Pokémon cards

Strange that it's finally been put on shelves as Stellar Crown is affecting the meta right now. Wish Connector is an interesting ability in the context of recycling energies for Stellar ex Pokemon but its 180 HP probably won't make it a suitable alternative to Blissey ex w/ Glass Trumpet.

Though I swear I've seen this Jirachi V Box be in local stores before, but they were probably imports or warehouse snags. They also seem to have more recent pack prints, so it could be a way to gather packs out of print at the moment.

They should have put Evo skies in the box like they did with the Pikachu v Box

If only they released Quagsire V after 2 years...

I am begging crying and screaming for this card after seeing Jirachi V in the States

 

[gemjadem]

[Eievui]

Neat.

 

[Lindor]

Would be much better without the obsidian flames packs

Can someone confirm if the Absol has a different holo pattern ?

Should be Cosmos holo here’s praying!

 

[Mystic_Bard]

Most likely, but pixel cosmos holo, or HD cosmos holo ?

Mystic_Bard but pixel cosmos holo, or HD cosmos holo ?​

its cosmos... i didnt realize separate cosmos holos were a thing, and when i look it up, it looks like most are in the SV151 set. most of the circles on my absol are just specks, but i guess the bigger ones look like diamonds instead of circles... whichever that is.

I mean... it only works when a basic V is knocked out. What basic V Pokemon are we even playing?

Lumineon V, Rotom V, Regidrago V, Lugia V, Giratina V, Origin Forme Palkia V, and some rare sightings of Origin Forme Dialga V and Hisuian Zoroark V. But the most common of these usually don't have a Basic energy attached...

lol Regardless, it's a liability and its Ability only saves 1 Basic energy.

Have one in-hand - it is the more classic pixel cosmos
