Pokémon TCG Reveals Missing Crown Zenith Product: Pikachu VMAX Box

The Pokémon TCG has revealed the missing Crown Zenith product: The Pikachu VMAX Special Collection. This box will include five Crown Zenith booster packs, one etched promo card and one oversize promo card featuring Pikachu VMAX and one foil promo card featuring Pikachu V. These are both brand-new Black Star Promos that Japanese collectors may reference from earlier reveals.

A year ago, I questioned in a Bleeding Cool piece if the Pokémon TCG Pikachu and Eevee CoroCoro promos will ever come to the United States…  and that is exactly what these Pikachu cards are.

I wrote:

Two new Japanese Pokémon TCG promos have been revealed. These promo cards feature two of the franchise's most iconic Pokémon, Pikachu and Eevee, illustrated in a painterly style which is quite unusual for the Pokémon-V style of card which normally gets a more sleek, 3D style. Personally, I think these cards are gorgeous. These are part of Japan's upcoming Start Deck 100 line of products which will see the release of 100 different Pokémon TCG decks, some of them with new cards. The deck with these cards will be a special CoroCoro-exclusive variant which will essentially be a 101st deck in the series. Now, the release of these cards brings up the question… when will these be released in English?

Well, here is our answer, and it's thankfully a resounding "yes."

It is also believed that the Eevee card used as a CoroCoro promo in Japan will be released in the actual numbered Crown Zenith set.

In addition to this news, here is the upcoming slate of Pokémon TCG releases for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023:
