The Japanese Pokémon card pack price rose from ¥180 to ¥200, tax included, for products released from May 2026

How it’s built

1. Reported by Denfami Nico Gamer, a Japanese games news site, on 30 January 2026, relaying The Pokémon Company's notice posted on X.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

The notice says 'some new products'; packs released up to April stay at ¥180. The company's own card-site notice was not read directly.
