What is the Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection?
The Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection is set to release on 11th April 2025, shortly after the release of the Journey Together expansion set. This new set sees the return of Owner’s Pokémon, now renamed Trainer’s Pokémon. The box has an expected retail price of £39.99 in the UK and $39.99 in the US.
The Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection artwork features a cut-out window outlined in pink and yellow against a black background on three sides. The left side depicts Pokémon Trainer, Iono with Bellibolt.
The text on the back of the box reads:
‘Power Up Your Pokémon in the Iono Zone!

With this collection you can call on Iono’s Bellibolt ex and its Electric Streamer Ability to energize the rest of Iono’s Pokémon on your side. Then get caught up in more electrifying fun with acrylic standees, a colorful photo sticker and a handful of Pokémon booster packs!’

Is the Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection good value for money?
The box contains one full art Iono’s Bellibolt ex Black Star Promo card, a foil Tadbulb card, a sheet of acrylic standees, a backdrop display, a photo sticker, and 6 Booster packs.
Booster packs generally retail on selling sites such as Ebay, for around £4 in the UK and $4 in the US. The Iono’s Bellibolt ex ex Promo card is a full art shiny card and likely to be worth around £6 / $6 while the other card is likely to be worth £2 / $2. The acrylic standees and backdrop should fetch at least £5 / $5 and the photo sticker a minimal amount.
The six Booster packs would therefore cost £24 ($24) adding the expected value of the other card takes the total to around £26 or $26 and if the standees and backdrop are worth £6 / $6 this would make the set worth around £32 / $32 which is quite a bit less than the recommended retail price of £39.99 / $39.99.
We may have underestimated the value of the acrylic standees, but we were not particularly excited by it and have based that valuation accordingly.
