The Pokemon Company has expressed gratitude to fans for their patience with the shortages of the Scarlet and Violet — Prismatic Evolutions set, while also detailing the steps being taken to address these issues.

The set was designed to kick off the new year with excitement for Pokemon TCG enthusiasts. However, like many new expansions, Prismatic Evolutions has faced global shortages, including in the United States.

In response to weeks of fan feedback on social media, The Pokemon Company issued a statement recognizing the difficulty in obtaining some of its upcoming products. "We understand this inconvenience can be disappointing for fans, and we are actively working to print more of the impacted Pokemon TCG products as quickly as possible and at maximum capacity to address this," a company representative told IGN.
