Mega Evolution: Print Run Allocation Update

Reports from regional distributors indicate that initial allocations for the 'Mega Evolution—Perfect Order' Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs) are roughly 15% lower than the previous 'Chaos Rising' set. While The Pokémon Company International (TPCi) has increased overall printing capacity for 2026, they appear to be staggered-releasing this set to combat the massive secondary market surge. This means 'Wave 1' will be extremely tight at big-box retailers like Target and Best Buy. We recommend focusing your search on Booster Bundles, as early shipping manifests show these are being stocked in higher volumes to satisfy the 30th Anniversary demand.
