What’s in
each bundle
Every bundle below is factory sealed and ships from Salt Lake City. Prices are per bundle, not per box — you are buying packs, one at a time or a handful at a time, from printings most U.S. shops never stock.
1 Chinese Pokémon booster pack — Gem Pack Vol. 4. You pick the set. The cheapest way in. Pick your set at checkout and we pull that pack.
12 Chinese Pokémon booster packs, mixed variety — $2.50 a pack. Twelve packs of mixed Simplified Chinese product — the volume option, and the one people buy to rip in a sitting.
White Flare + Black Bolt — 2 Japanese booster packs, factory sealed. Both halves of the Unova split release. Black Bolt is the Zekrom set, White Flare the Reshiram set; seven cards a pack, two guaranteed holofoil.
2× White Flare + 2× Black Bolt — 4 Japanese booster packs, 28 cards. The same pairing doubled, so you can open one of each and still keep one of each sealed.
Terastal Gathering + White Flare + Black Bolt — 3 packs, Chinese and Japanese. One Chinese pack and both Japanese Unova sets — a three-country sampler for people who have not decided what they collect yet.
Terastal Gathering + 2× White Flare + 2× Black Bolt — 5 packs. Ships free. Terastal Gathering is the Simplified Chinese Eevee set, and this pairs it with two of each Unova half. Over $35, so shipping is on us.
1 Chinese booster pack + 1 Storm Emeralda M6 — 2 packs. One Chinese pack and one Storm Emeralda, the Japanese M6 set built around Mega Rayquaza ex.
5 Chinese booster packs + 1 Storm Emeralda M6 — 6 packs. Five Chinese packs to open fast plus one Storm Emeralda to slow down for.
3 Chinese + Storm Emeralda M6 + White Flare + Black Bolt — 6 packs, three countries. Three printings in one box — Simplified Chinese, Japanese M6, and both halves of the Japanese Unova pair.
2× Terastal Gathering + White Flare + Black Bolt + 2× Storm Emeralda M6 + Ascended Heroes — 7 packs. Ships free. The full spread: the Chinese Eevee set doubled, both Unova halves, two Storm Emeralda, and an Ascended Heroes pack from the largest English set ever printed. Ships free.

The sets
Short version below. Each set also has a full guide — pack structure, chase cards and what makes the printing different: read the set guides.
Gem Pack Vol. 4 Simplified Chinese Pokémon booster packs · CBB4C
Four cards a pack — read that twice, because it is the thing people get wrong. Gem Pack runs its own rarity ladder that maps onto nothing else in the hobby: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Double Rare, Triple Rare. No ultra rares, no illustration rares, no gold hyper rares, because those are Japanese and English rarities that do not exist in this line. Every pack carries one guaranteed Rare or better, so there is no such thing as a dud pack, and that guarantee is the whole reason a four-card pack prices the way it does. The chase is the 28 Triple Rares, led by the Ponyta full-art — the first Ponyta illustration rare ever printed, mascot of a set released in a Fire Horse year.
Gem Pack Vol. 6 Simplified Chinese Pokémon booster packs
The newest Gem Pack volume, and the one we restock the most. Same Chinese-market line as Vol. 4 — four cards a pack, one guaranteed Rare or better.
The largest Simplified Chinese set printed to date at 287 cards, and heavily Team Rocket themed. Slim packs of five, sold here one at a time.
Dark Crystal Blaze Simplified Chinese Pokémon booster packs
Charizard ex is the draw. Slim packs of five, and genuinely hard to buy in the States outside of a full sealed box.
Terastal Gathering Simplified Chinese Pokémon booster packs · CSV9.5C
The Chinese-market cousin of Prismatic Evolutions — an Eevee set, with Eevee and every one of its evolutions as Stellar Tera Pokémon ex. Ten cards a pack, and three or four of those ten are Mirror Holofoil or better, which is unusually generous. Every common, uncommon and rare comes in two Mirror Holo variants, a crystallised Poké Ball motif and a rarer Master Ball motif. One card exists in Simplified Chinese and nowhere else on earth: the special illustration rare Sylveon ex. That card is the single best reason a Western collector opens this instead of the English equivalent.
Black Bolt & White Flare Japanese Pokémon booster packs · sv11B / sv11W
The Japanese originals of the Unova throwback, and the pack structure is nothing like the English version — this is the detail worth knowing before you buy. A regular Japanese pack holds seven cards with two guaranteed holofoil, against ten in an English pack. Black Bolt is the Zekrom set, White Flare the Reshiram set. Every Pokémon introduced across the two has a secret rare variant at Art Rare or better, and the BWR rarity — monochrome art on stark solid colour, held by only two cards in the world — starts here.
Storm Emeralda Japanese Pokémon booster packs · M6
The sixth Japanese MEGA Expansion, built around Mega Rayquaza ex — whose Storm Emeralda attack, the one the set is named for, scales with every Fire and Lightning Energy on your board. Five cards a pack.
The largest English Pokémon set ever printed at 295 cards, beating a record that stood since 2021. It introduced the Mega attack rare — full-art Mega Evolution ex drawn pop-art style with the attack name blown across the front — and there are only seven of them. God packs are confirmed for this set. Worth knowing: these packs were never sold loose at retail. They only ever came inside boxed products, so every single pack we sell was broken out of one.
Buying it for someone else
Gifts
The default Pokémon gift is a booster box, and a booster box is thirty-six packs of one set for north of a hundred dollars. These are $4.99 to $64.99, and what is in them is the part a shop shelf near you does not carry: Japanese and Simplified Chinese printings, sealed, alongside the English ones.
Every one is a sealed Pokémon bundle, so it can be wrapped exactly as it arrives — nobody has touched the Pokémon cards inside, and nobody knows what is in there, which is most of the fun of giving one. Shipping is $4.99 flat and free at $35 or more.
Buying for someone who already collects?
Then they probably own the English sets already — that is what every shop within driving distance sells. The Japanese and Simplified Chinese printings are the ones they have read about and not opened: different card numbering, different chase cards, artwork that never gets an English release. Climber's Choice at $4.99 is one pack, which is enough to find out what they think.
A bundle or a booster box?
A box wins on price per card if the person wants one set in depth and intends to open all of it. As a gift it is a harder sell: thirty-six packs of the same set is a lot of the same set, and it commits over a hundred dollars to a guess about which one they want. A bundle spreads the same money across printings and languages, and the cheap end costs less than a card sleeve pack if the guess is wrong.
How it arrives
Sealed, from Salt Lake City, by USPS Ground Advantage with tracking — usually out the door within two business days. Shipping is $4.99 flat; at $35 or more it is free, which Kings Peak and Summit Haul clear alone, and any two bundles adding up to it will do the same.
Or let them watch it opened
Every bundle can be sent to the Whatnot stream instead of your door — pick rip live at checkout and the packs get opened on air, then whatever comes out ships to you sleeved. It makes the gift an evening rather than an envelope. The choice is per order and you make it at checkout, not now.
The one every collector asks about
God packs
A god pack is a booster where the ordinary slots are replaced with rares — every card in it is a hit. They are a quirk of how sheets get printed, they are not marked on the outside, and no shop on earth can tell you which pack is which.
Which sets have them
In the current lineup, Ascended Heroes is the set where god packs are confirmed. Three Mega attack rares plus seven special illustration rares in a single pack.
Can you buy one?
No, and be wary of anyone who implies otherwise. Sealed packs are identical from the outside — that is the point of sealed. Nothing in any bundle here is chosen, weighed or searched, and buying more packs changes your odds exactly the way buying more packs always does and no further.
Why Japanese packs come up
God packs are talked about mostly around Japanese printings, because that is where collectors have documented them most. It is one of the reasons people go looking for Japanese and Simplified Chinese product once they have opened enough English — the print runs and the rarity structures are not the same, and neither is what turns up.
Before you buy
Questions
Do you sell single Pokémon packs?
Yes — that is the whole idea. Almost everyone selling Japanese and Simplified Chinese product online sells it by the booster box, which means a hundred dollars or more before you have opened anything. We sell from one pack at $4.99, and bundle small groups so you can try three printings without committing to a box of any of them.
What is a Simplified Chinese Pokémon pack?
The Pokémon TCG prints separately for the Chinese mainland market, with its own sets, its own art and — in the case of Gem Pack — its own rarity system. The cards are official and factory sealed; they are simply not distributed in the U.S., which is why your local shop does not have them.
How many cards are in a pack?
It changes with every printing, and it is the thing buyers most often get wrong. Ten in an English pack, and ten in Terastal Gathering. Seven in a Japanese Black Bolt or White Flare pack. Five in Storm Emeralda, and five in the slim Chasing Glory Together and Dark Crystal Blaze packs. Four in a Gem Pack — with one guaranteed Rare or better in every single one. Compare Japanese and Chinese product per card rather than per pack, or the price will mislead you. Each bundle above says which sets it contains.
Are the packs factory sealed?
Every pack ships sealed and untouched unless you choose to have it opened on stream. Sealed is the default at checkout.
What does ripping live mean?
Pick rip live at checkout and we open your packs on the Whatnot stream instead of shipping them sealed. Whatever you pull ships to you afterwards.
Where do you ship, and what does it cost?
Anywhere in the United States, $4.99 flat, and free once your order passes $35. Orders go out from Salt Lake City by USPS Ground Advantage, usually within two business days.
How do I track my order?
You get two emails. Stripe sends the receipt the moment you pay, itemised so you can see exactly which bundles you bought. USPS then emails you the tracking number as soon as we print the label — you do not have to ask us for it. If a rip-live order is waiting on the next stream, nothing ships until the packs are opened, and the pulls go out sleeved and toploadered after.
