Get ready, Trainers! On October 17, 2025, Pokémon China is closing out the Collect 151 series with a bang — the Collect 151: Gathering Set, the fourth and final release in this beloved lineup. And yes… it features yet another exclusive Pikachu Art Rare that’s sure to electrify collectors everywhere!
The Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG market has been absolutely on fire lately — with demand soaring, products flying, and collectors worldwide keeping a close eye on every drop. And from the looks of it, this upcoming release isn’t cooling things down anytime soon.
This wave is packed with exciting new products — some returning fan favorites, others fresh and totally new. Let’s dive in and see what’s in store!
We’ll be breaking down each product release!
First, we have the Collect 151 Booster boxes. In true Simplified Chinese fashion, the Collect 151: Gathering Set will include both Slim Booster Packs and Jumbo Booster Packs.
Top Chase Card – The Pika Party!
Let’s take a moment to appreciate this set’s stunning pack art! Pokémon China has truly outdone itself with the Collect 151 series — every release features breathtaking artwork that connects beautifully across all four sets, creating one masterpiece when viewed together.
Of course, the star of the show is once again none other than Pikachu! This time, the iconic Electric-type gets a heartwarming new Art Rare illustrated by Oswaldo KATO — a lively scene featuring a group of cheerful Pikachu enjoying their time with their buddies Vulpix and Cubone. It’s cozy and charming.
This adorable artwork brings a refreshing vibe after the more intense “close encounter” Pikachu had with a mischievous Gengar in the previous 151 Surprise set. From spooky shadows to sunny smiles, this card perfectly captures the joy of Pokémon.
If you’ve ever opened a Collect 151 pack, you already know — pulling one of those exclusive Art Rares is nearly impossible! These cards have notoriously low hit rates.
That rarity is exactly what drives their high value. Earlier Collect 151 chase cards have consistently commanded $1,000 to $3,000 CAD on the secondary market.
So… what are the actual odds? Thankfully, Pokémon China does something pretty unique — they publicly disclose detailed pull-rate data for each product! This transparency gives collectors a peek at just how rare these hits truly are.
Let’s dive into those numbers quickly.
If you can’t be bothered to decipher the numbers — here’s the scoop:
- Slim Packs: ~0.70% chance
- Jumbo Packs: ~1.04% chance
That’s right — less than a 1% pull rate. So, good luck to everyone out there chasing this adorable forest-party Pikachu! We’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines — because we still haven’t pulled any of the Pikachu Art Rares this year ourselves.
