It also means we’ll probably see more of fan-favorite Alakazam in future sets. Gone from the TCG for two decades after some legal entanglements with magician Uri Geller, the Scarlet & Violet 151 appearance isn’t something The Pokemon Company is particularly touting, but it’s notable for long-time collectors. The inclusion of the full Kanto Pokedex means the return of Kadabra. (Still, there are “booster bundle” packs and Elite Trainer Box releases, for those looking to buy in more bulk.) And isn’t afraid to hit it hard in the wallet! Like other special expansions, it’s unavailable in individual booster packs and more commonly found in curated boxes with promotional cards and such. Rather than a smattering of different types and regional forms, the expansion presents each in their proper context and iconic form.
Featuring the original Kanto creatures and with set order matching Pokedex order, 151 is a set built to be stored in binders.
