Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) contains 196 cards and launched in China on April 24, 2026. PokemonLore provides the complete card list with collector numbers, rarities, and images, while this guide separates that checklist from the pack price, foil treatments, and other facts confirmed by Pokémon China.
Collector Takeaway
Gem Pack Vol.5 is not trying to replace main booster expansions. Its strength is a cheap foil-only collector product with a sharper character-art identity than earlier waves.
Gem Pack Vol. 5 released on April 24, 2026. Browse PokemonLore's complete 196-card CBB5C checklist for card numbers, rarities, and images; Pokémon China still has not published official pull rates or single-card market prices.
The official suggested price is 10 CNY per pack, not a single-card market price. The complete checklist is available on PokemonLore, while pull rates and current single-card prices remain unconfirmed.
Practical Buying View
- For casual buyers, 10 CNY per pack keeps trial openings affordable.
- For Pokemon Horizons fans, the main value is the trainer-partner illustration lineup rather than competitive card information.
- The official page does not publish hit-rate tables, so do not assume any specific odds for illustration cards or premium patterns.
- The 10 CNY figure is the official suggested retail price per pack, not a single-card market price.
Officially Confirmed Card Finishes
The official announcement confirms these treatments but does not define a complete rarity hierarchy or publish pull rates.
The character cards are framed more like scene illustrations than standard TCG spotlight art.
Floragato's preview spread shows how one Pokemon can reappear across several foil treatments within the same wave.
| Finish | What the official announcement confirms |
|---|---|
| Illustration card | Every Pokémon appearing in this Gem Pack release receives an illustration card. |
| Type-pattern foil | One of the patterned foil treatments available for Pokémon in the release. |
| Master Ball-pattern foil | A separate patterned foil treatment explicitly named by Pokémon China. |
| Gem Pack logo-stamped foil | A foil treatment carrying a hot-stamped Gem Pack logo. |

Official Release Snapshot
The official March 20 product post confirms Scarlet & Violet Gem Pack Vol.5 as a foil-only collector release built around multiple finish types and Pokemon Horizons character scenes.
Vol.5 keeps the familiar Gem Pack single-pack format: 4 foil cards per pack at a 10 CNY entry price.

Exa-Surfaced Gem Pack Context
Related official coverage found through Exa shows Gem Pack Vol.4 launched on February 6, 2026 at the same 10 CNY for 4 cards price point, while the Gem Pack Badge Set released on January 16, 2026 and bundled Vol.1, Vol.2, and Vol.3 packs together.
Looking further back, Vol.3 leaned on a night theme around Gengar, and Vol.2 centered on Eevee and its Evolutions. That progression suggests Pokemon China is treating Gem Pack as an ongoing collector line with a different visual hook each wave.
Vol.5 keeps the same low-entry pricing model but shifts the spotlight from broad seasonal flavor to specific trainer-and-partner relationships from Horizons.
Why Vol.5 Stands Out
Like earlier Gem Pack waves, every featured Pokemon appears in multiple finishes, including type-pattern foils, Master Ball-pattern foils, and Gem Pack logo stamped foils.
What makes this wave different is the explicit Pokemon Horizons tie-in. The official page says every Pokemon in the set also gets an illustration card, and four Rising Volt Tacklers members appear with their partner Pokemon.
The preview lineup makes the Horizons angle obvious: Friede and Captain Pikachu join Liko, Roy, and Dot with their partners.
Captain Pikachu's illustration card places it with Friede aboard the Rising Volt Tacklers airship.
That character-driven art gives Vol.5 a clearer anime crossover hook than the seasonal atmosphere focus used in Vol.4.
Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede appear with Floragato, Crocalor, Quaxwell, and Captain Pikachu.
Floragato, Crocalor, and Quaxwell are shown in quieter slice-of-life scenes sharing food time with their trainers.
