- Date: June 19
- Price: $14.99
What to expect when opening the collection (based on the announced format)
Even though the specific illustrations are still to be confirmed, the product’s mechanics are already clear based on the confirmed collection format:
1. You start with the special booster that includes three Illustration Rare promos. 3. Finally, a sticker sheet is included, designed to accompany the release.
This pattern matches the information provided for previous collections from the same series, so Series 2 will follow that same structure.
Series 3: what’s known (only what’s been confirmed)
There’s also a reference to the next batch: it’s indicated that Series 3 would presumably be released in September and would include the rest of the Starter Pokémon from Hoenn, Kalos, and Paldea. In any case, no additional dates or concrete content details are provided beyond that general direction.
If your goal is to collect or plan purchases, the most useful thing right now is to identify which region of Series 2 you’re interested in, and—when the promos are published—check which Illustration Rare cards each version includes.
