Discover the latest Pokémon TCG: Pokémon Card 151 sensation, Giovanni’s Charisma, and explore the themed merchandise inspired by this popular card.


Unveiling Pokémon TCG Japan’s exciting upcoming set, Pokémon Card 151, which pays tribute to the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region. Noteworthy in this set is the highly anticipated return of Kadabra after 21 years. Previously, Kadabra’s presence was marred by a legal dispute initiated by magician Uri Geller, who claimed the Pokémon was inspired by his spoon-bending technique. However, Geller has since withdrawn his complaint. In addition to the return of Kadabra, this expansion stands out for its unique Pokédex order, a departure from the usual type-based organization found in regular sets. This Japanese set was released on June 16th and will serve as the foundation for the English-language collectors’ special set, Scarlet & Violet – 151. Let’s explore the merchandise dedicated to one of the trainers featured in this set.

The trainer that takes the spotlight is none other than Giovanni, the notorious leader of Team Rocket whom I recently defeated in Pokémon GO, even claiming his prized Shadow Regirock. Victory was mine!

Pokémon Center Japan offers two new merchandise items showcasing Giovanni’s presence in Pokémon Card 151. These include stylish card sleeves and a deck box. The card sleeves feature three Pokémon known for their association with Giovanni. Of course, his loyal Persian graces one side, while Giovanni’s Charisma Special Illustration Rare, highly sought after in the set, showcases Persian prominently. Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen, two Pokémon frequently seen alongside Giovanni, complete the imagery on the sleeves.

Japanese sets often provide a glimpse into what English-language sets may feature, so it’s worth keeping an eye on our coverage. Stay tuned for previews of Scarlet & Violet cards and the latest updates on everything related to the Pokémon TCG right here at Bleeding Cool.
