The Pokemon Company “Maximizing Production” On TCG Cards To Address Shortages

As many may know, Pokemon Trading Cards have seen a strong surge of interest in recent months due to some high profile auctions and new releases. This rising demand has naturally led to some shortages for many Pokemon TCG products.

The Pokemon Company has since released a statement to address this issue. Citing “very high demand and global shipping constraints” as the main culprits behind the shortages, the Pokemon Company stated that they are working on “maximizing production” to reprint cards and replenish stock at retailers as soon as possible.

You can read the full statement for yourself below:

We’re aware that some of you are experiencing difficulties purchasing certain Pokémon Trading Card Game products due to very high demand and global shipping constraints impacting availability. We understand this inconvenience can be disappointing for fans, and we are working to address it where it is within our control.

In situations where there is limited availability, we are actively working to print more of the impacted Pokémon TCG products as quickly as possible and at maximum capacity to support this increased demand. Reprinted products are expected to be available at retailers as soon as possible.

For new Pokémon TCG expansions launching in the future, we are maximizing production to increase product availability upon release, and we will continue to reprint the products to replenish stock at retailers as soon as possible.

We’d like to thank the community for their continued support and patience as we work to deliver more Pokémon TCG products to fans.

At the time of this writing, it is uncertain if this statement will also apply to the exclusive cards distributed in the recent Mcdonald’s collaboration, which are also seeing shortages. We will be sure to report back with more information should it become available.
