Some scalpers are selling the Collector Case of Pokemon Hershey's Kisses at ridiculous prices, with some listings reaching $350. The two companies announced a new collaboration in June 2025, introducing 151 unique Pokemon foil designs to Hershey's Kisses.
The Hershey's Kisses and Pokemon collaboration quickly proved successful, with fans rushing to buy the themed products both in stores and online. The goal of the partnership has been to encourage fans to collect all 151 Pokemon Kisses and add them to their virtual Hershey Pokedex. At the start of the collab, there was also a sweepstakes to give away a limited-edition case designed to store all 151 foil designs featuring Kanto region Pokemon.
Pokemon and Razer Announce New Collaboration
Gaming and electronics manufacturer Razer is teaming up with Pokemon as the two tease a new collaboration that's getting fans excited.
As reported by Dexerto, some scalpers are now selling Pokemon Hershey's Kisses Collector Cases for up to $350, nearly the price of a Nintendo Switch 2. Notably, these boxes are empty, as they're meant to be filled with unique Kisses found in the chocolate bags. So, anyone hoping to complete the Pokedex-like case will also need to buy Hershey's Kisses bags, each priced around $6. It's also worth noting that these collectibles were originally given away to fans for free through a first-come, first-served sweepstakes, making the opening bids even more bizarre.
Pokemon Hershey's Kisses Scalpers Are Not Alone
As absurd as the pricing on these Hershey's Kisses Collector Cases may seem, they're far from the only Pokemon collectibles going for steep prices on eBay. A quick search shows that some scalpers are reselling sealed Pokemon and McDonald's boxes for anywhere between $350 and $550. In fact, the franchise has a long history of collaborations that spark waves of scalpers looking to exploit people's love for Pokemon.
Of course, the constant high demand for Pokemon merchandise and collectibles has kept the market thriving for scalpers. Fans may remember that one Pokemon collector once paid over $80,000 for Cheetozard, a Charizard-shaped Cheeto. There are also people currently buying McDonald's promotional Pokemon cards for up to $100 on eBay, and the list goes on.
So, there seems to be no end to Pokemon scalpers trying to profit off limited-edition releases. While that is frustrating for fans, it also shows just how popular the Pokemon franchise remains and suggests that more collaborations are likely on the way. For example, McDonald's Japan has recently teased a potential new collaboration with Pokemon, which could bring even more cool collectibles for fans to chase, at least for those living in Japan.

LIVE THE LIFE OF A POKÉMON TRAINER IN THE STREETS OF LUMIOSE CITY

CATCH, BATTLE, AND MEGA-EVOLVE—ALL IN REAL TIME!
Step onto the battlefield and command your Pokémon directly—there are no turns! For the first time in the Pokémon RPG series, Trainers and their Pokémon can both move around in real-time battles, and your Pokémon will unleash their moves when you tell them to. Strategically swapping out your Pokémon and accounting for each move’s timing and area of effect will greatly help you in this new style of battle.
HARNESS THE POWER OF MEGA EVOLUTION
When Trainers have a strong bond with their Pokémon, a Key Stone worn by the Trainer resonates with a Mega Stone held by their Pokémon, allowing Mega Evolution to take place.
ROGUE MEGA EVOLUTION
Rampaging Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon are threatening Lumiose City. These Pokémon are extra tough to beat, but if you do manage to defeat them, you'll receive valuable Mega Stones as a reward.

You’re invited to join the Z-A Royale, a competition for Pokémon Trainers to test their skills and determine who’s strongest.

Be strategic and complete bonus card challenges as you battle to speed up your climb from Rank Z to Rank A. Can you climb the ranks and reach the top?
