Pokémon TCG: Gem Pack Vol. 1: The Chinese Exclusive That Changed the Rules of Collecting

Gem Pack Vol. 1 was the first in a series of Chinese expansions designed specifically for collectors. Distributed exclusively in mainland China , the set is printed entirely in simplified Chinese , but with the same premium quality as the Japanese editions.

With 15 booster packs per box and 4 holographic cards per pack , Gem Pack Vol. 1 introduced a new opening experience: compact, elegant, and full of surprises.

What do you find in the set?

- 15 packs per box , each containing 4 foil cards .

- 3 common or uncommon cards (● or ◆) + 1 rare, double or triple rare card (★, ★★, ★★★).

- Total cards in the set : over 100, from multiple expansions in the Scarlet and Violet lines.

But the real novelty was the official introduction of a rarity system exclusive to the Chinese market , with new symbols identifying each level of rarity.

Pokémon Horizons exclusive cards

One of the strong points of Gem Pack Vol. 1 is the presence of 4 cards dedicated to the Pokémon Horizons animated series , with exclusive artwork and a special Horizons mold visible in the corner of the cards.

The protagonists? Some of the most beloved Trainer + Pokémon combinations from the new anime, offered for the first time in Chinese with collectible finishes.

One set, four foil patterns

These are not just foil cards, but completely new foil styles , designed to enhance every illustration:

- Energy Holo

- Poké Ball Holo

- Glitter Foil

- Prismatic Foil

- Master Ball Holo

- the Gem Pack stamp on each card

This attention to detail has made the set one of the most visually appreciated by fans, thanks to an artistic rendering that breaks the mold.

The Promo Pack and the exclusive Pikachu card

For those who purchased 30 booster packs or 2 boxes , a special Promo Pack was available containing a single card , chosen from those exclusive to the international versions.
The most iconic card? A Pikachu Promo already considered by many to be a future collector's item, with a limited run of 250,000 copies .
