Pokemon’s Millennium Print Group Signs Largest U.S. Manufacturing Lease of 2025
Demand for Pokemon cards have gotten crazy. The amount of printed cards is not enough to keep up with demand.
According to Pokebeach, Millenium Print Group signs the largest U.S. Manufacturing lease of 2025. They will occupy a 1.27 million square foot campus to print cards. This group has multiple facilities in North Carolina, USA and in the Netherlands.
Secret Rares from Japan's Start Deck 100 Battle Collection
For whatever reason, Pokemon Japan is releasing 100 Starter deck products where each deck you get a random deck out of a possible 100 starter decks. There are secret rare cards being revealed by fans through social media.
The decks release on Friday, Dec 19, 2025 but some stores sell stuff earlier than the release date. I write this on Dec 18, 2025 Thursday.
I show some of the cards here. Picture sizes are not consistent, they come from the Pokebeach source. (Sorry)
Erika's Tangela, Scorbunny, Marill
 |  |  |
Slurpuff, Hitmontop, Mawile
 |  |  |
Eevee (Reprint), Sprigatito ex, Boss's Orders (Corbeau)
 |  |  |
Mega Meganium ex, Mega Emboar ex, Mega Feraligatr ex
 |  |  |
My favourite out of these three is Mega Meganium ex.
Pikachu ex, Lillie's Clefairy ex (New version), Mega Charizard Y ex (Gold)
 |  |  |
I can see these 3 cards being super popular. Pikachu is a mascot Pokemon so it is always in demand. This new version of Lillie's Clefairy ex is colourful and cute. More girls than guys would want this version of Lillie's Clefairy ex.

Out of these four, Precious Trolley is a valuable ACE SPEC item card in certain decks that benefit from Benching multiple Basic Pokemon.
Excluded Cards That Should Be In Prize Pack Series 8
There are some cards that are not in this. Some people online are frustrated and annoyed that there is no Hilda or Secret Box. The Secret Box ACE SPEC card is in demand as you can search for 3 cards. Its price is around 25 CAD in the Toronto area. Prices vary in other places.
Ignition Energy is not in this. It is not an expensive card but I can't seem to find them in my area. I want to try Ignition Energy with Greninja ex.
