The Pokémon TCG in Simplified Chinese grows once again with the release of Gem Pack Vol. 3 on September 26, 2025. This third entry in the China-exclusive series is all about nocturnal Pokémon, featuring haunting favorites like Gengar, Meowth, and Chandelure. Every card in the set is foil, making this one of the most eye-catching Pokémon products of the year.
Product Overview 📦
Gem Pack Vol. 3 is released only in booster box format. Each box contains 15 packs, and every pack includes 4 foil cards. Unlike standard expansions, there are no non-holo cards—every pull shines.
The set continues the unique Gem Pack rarity system: Common (●), Uncommon (◆), Rare (★), Double Rare (★★), and Triple Rare (★★★). Each pack typically comes with three lower-tier cards and one card of Rare or higher.
Exclusive Illustration Rares 🌙
The centerpiece of Gem Pack Vol. 3 is its lineup of nine Illustration Rares. Five Pokémon have been confirmed with brand-new artwork exclusive to this release: Gengar, Meowth, Cubone, Chandelure, and Ceruledge.
Each card is marked with the ★★★ rarity and features stunning nighttime-themed artwork. These illustrations aren’t available in Japanese or English sets, which makes them especially appealing to collectors who love regional exclusives.
Foil Treatments & Variants ✨
One of the highlights of Gem Packs is the variety of foil styles. Vol. 3 features attribute-pattern foils, Master Ball foils, gold-stamped logo foils, glitter and prism finishes, and the signature Gem Pack stamp.
This set also marks the debut of EX cards in the Gem Pack line, adding even more chase value. Collectors can also pull foil Trainers and Energies, including Awesome Fishing Rod, Nest Ball, Pepper, and several basic Energy types like Fighting, Steel, and Luminous.
Final Thoughts
Simplified Chinese Gem Pack Vol. 3 combines exclusivity, artwork, and all-foil presentation in a way few sets can. With nine Illustration Rares, new EX cards, and a strong nocturnal theme, it’s a release that will stand out in collections for years to come.
Whether you plan to keep boxes sealed or build a binder filled with the beautiful Illustration Rares, Vol. 3 offers something special for every collector.
