Stand:
Pokémon travel companions is in hype, also because of an idea of over 20 years. We got tips from the dealer: What to do if the new set is sold out?
When I read that the new one-SetTravel companions(English:Journey Together) Bring the trainer Pokémon back, it had happened to me. I speak of these cards on which not only a cool Pokémon, but also his well -known trainer is on it. And not (more only) as a loveless mini icon in the corner. N with Zoroark? Hop with Relaxo or Zachian? Lilly with Pixi? I was immediately a little boy in the early 2000s when Glurak and Co did not achieve six -digit records at auctions. But the set and the successor will be difficult to get - right?
This is the new Pokémon card set that comes after prismatic developments
What is travel companions?PokémonTravel companionsIs the ninth expansion from the Karmesin & Purpur series and will be released on March 28, 2025. The set brings back the coaching Pokémon-a mechanics that last came in a large extension in 2004. The principle: Well -known coaches from games and anime become visible part of the card. Her face is emblazoned on the artwork, on the right on the map and its names above that of the Pokémon. And some of these cards also have nasty, trainer -related effects for tournament games. Collector's heart and TCG meta? Check and check.
The set consists of over 180 cards, including 40+ trainer-Pokémon, 16 new Pokémon-Ex, 31 Secret Rares, and of course the inevitable gold cards. It is based on the Japanese setsBattle Partnersandex Starter Deck Generations. Small note: Not all cards are so-called Owner-Pokémon. There are also "normal" cards in the set.

Why is the set difficult to get again?The big question: why is itTravel companionsSold out or expensive in many places before the release? I asked Card-corner.de, one of the largest card shops in Germany. We already have with the boys and girls, so we have a good wire and I spontaneously received direct answers from dealer Marvin:
"You have to expect bottlenecks for travel companions."
The hype around, has pulled many collectors into the game and back on board. And now everyone wants to have something from the card cake. Collectors, players, streamers and investors. Marvin explains that the actual amount of product is divided into more people by the current Pokémon hype.
Shops sometimes get less than before. Even large dealers such as card corner have to pull more money on international distributors, which also affects higher prices for us customers.
Specifically, even if it is reproduced, there is not something for everyone immediately. Hence his tip:
Patience is currently in demand, no fomo, definitely not fomo.
What is Fomo?Fomo stands for "Fear of Missing Out" - the fear of missing something. AtTravel companionsDoes that mean: do not buy a TTB on eBay for 150 euros, but rather watch in peace with trustworthy shops. There you can have Restocks notified by email, for example, and pay fair prices.
Tips and the most expensive Pokémon cards from travel companions
Which cards are particularly exciting?The focus is on well-known faces such as N, Hop, Enigmara, Lilly-but also cult coaches like Rokko are there. The chase cards, i.e. the most valuable hits in the boosters, are likely to be Lillies Pixi, Hops Zachian and NS Zoroark.
My 2 highlights?Clearly: Zachian Ex as Secret Rare. Second, this time the cards are available in German. In the past, in the 2000s there were cards like Mistys Gyarados only in English.
