The new collection of Pokémon promotional items is predicted to be very popular with fans. The first release of First Partner Collection boxes was also highly desired by collectors, especially because it included the original three Kanto starter Pokémon. Individual cards featuring Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle from that set are now selling for over $20 on resale markets.

After the initial set of starter promo cards, Pokemon will likely release a final version of the First Partner Collection. This third series, expected in late 2026, will complete the set by featuring starter Pokemon from the Hoenn, Kalos, and Paldea regions. Like previous versions, the new promo cards will likely showcase Pokemon such as Mudkip and Fennekin in iconic locations from their respective regions. While Pokemon hasn’t announced an exact date, Series 3 is probably coming in August or September, following the pattern of releases from earlier sets.
