Collection 151 is a special expansion featuring all 151 Pokémon from Generation I in National Pokédex order, rather than being sorted by type first, as Pokémon cards usually would. It was revealed on December 22, 2024, as part of the introduction of the Scarlet & Violet era in the Simplified Chinese language, and was first released on January 17, 2025.
Although the set is the equivalent of the Japanese Pokémon Card 151 and international 151 expansions, a number of changes were made to its card list:
all Trainer cards were removed, leaving only Pokémon cards;
all 18 illustration rare cards (with an AR rarity) from the original expansion were removed;
18 shiny rare cards (with an S rarity), all of which are reprints from this expansion originating from Shiny Treasure ex, were added;
four illustration rare prints of Pikachu, each illustrated by Oswaldo KATO, were added and are currently exclusive to the Simplified Chinese language.
Each of the 139 Common, Uncommon, and Rare cards in the expansion also comes in two Reverse Holofoil variants - one with a Poké Ball motif, and a rarer one with a Master Ball motif:

Booster packs
Several different booster packs will be made available for the expansion throughout 2025, each with a slightly different pool of cards available and with altered pull rates.[1] Two have so far been released, and two more revealed:
The first booster pack, subtitled Journey (旅Journey), was released on January 17, 2025 and includes Pikachu (#170);
The second booster pack, subtitled Hope (望Hope), was released on April 18, 2025 and includes Pikachu (#171);
The third booster pack, subtitled Scare (惊Scare), will be released on July 18, 2025 and includes Pikachu (#172), Alakazam ex (#189), and Mew ex (#191);
The fourth booster pack, subtitled Gather (聚Gather), will be released on October 17, 2025 and includes Pikachu (#173) and Zapdos ex (#190).
Journey, Hope, Scare, and Gather booster packs are available in two different configurations:
5-card booster packs; one card will either be Reverse Holofoil or have a rarity of Rare or higher;
20-card booster packs; seven cards will either be Reverse Holofoil or have a rarity of Rare or higher.
Players can also obtain special two-card event packs by participating in special events or by purchasing certain products; these can consist of any cards in the expansion, including Reverse Holofoil variants, with the exception of illustration rare and special illustration rare cards.[2] Event packs were available from January 18, 2025, the same day as the Journey booster pack.
