The Chinese Pokémon TCG main booster line uses a numbered release structure: whole numbers (1.0, 2.0 ...) for main expansions and .5 releases for special or side expansions. This makes the Chinese market unusually easy to follow - every release has a clear position in the timeline. Alongside the numbered line, special series such as the Gem Pack VOL.1-6 and the Pokémon 151C collections round out the Chinese product family.

How buyers use the timeline
- New release planning - Wholesale buyers track upcoming .0 releases to pre-order and stock new product at release.
- Backfill strategy - Older .5 releases and early volumes (1.0-5.0) become scarcer over time; buyers building full-series displays order them while stock remains.
- Series completeness - Collectors and retailers value complete runs, so a full 1.0-18.0 lineup is a strong merchandising story for stores.
The timeline is maintained on the Chinese Pokémon TCG wholesale page, where each release is listed with current wholesale availability.
