151 Blooming Waters Collection

151 Blooming Waters Collection:

The Blooming Waters Premium Collection includes four foil Pokémon cards as well as 12 packs of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – 151. The four cards included are copies of Squirtle, Blastoise ex, Bulbasaur, and Venasaur ex. While promo cards are typically a big draw for a product, these may not be as exciting as something like a promo from a Pokémon Elite Trainer Box.

Scarlet & Violet—151 is a special expansion containing 210 cards that was released on September 22, 2023. In Japan, it is known as Pokémon Card 151, and was released on June 16, 2023, followed by localized releases in Taiwan and Hong Kong on June 30, 2023, and in Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea on July 28, 2023.

151 features only Generation I Pokémon; unlike in most expansions, Pokémon cards in this expansion are ordered according to the Pokémon’s National Pokédex numbers, instead of being grouped by their type.[1] This expansion contains 12 Pokémon ex cards, 16 illustration rare and seven special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards, 16 ultra rare full-art etched Pokémon and Supporter cards, and three hyper rare gold etched cards. Cosmos Holofoil Basic Energy cards can also be found in 151 booster packs. There’s also a low probability to find an entire evolutionary line of Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle as secret cards in the same booster pack, in place of the two Reverse Holo cards and the Rare card. Fans refer to such packs as “demigod packs”.

In the Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese subsets, each booster pack contains seven cards with two guaranteed Holofoil cards, and common, uncommon, and rare cards have Mirror Holofoil variants featuring a Poké Ball pattern; or, rarely, a Master Ball pattern. There is also a rare chance for those packs to contain two of the Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle’s entire evolutionary lines as secret cards. Thai and Indonesian booster packs contain five cards with no guarantees of Holofoil cards, and has no Mirror Holofoil prints.
