Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved Elite Trainer Box (9 Boosters & Premium Accessories) & TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved Booster Bundle (6 Booster Packs)

Product Information

The Elite Trainer Box (ETB), as seen in Scarlet and Violet, has had a bit of an upgrade with regards to its content. Whereas there used to be only eight packs, there are now nine, and where you only used to get a promo card with the holiday boxes, every ETB now contains a promo. BABS doesn’t have the exclusive promo card, but it does have two potentially different promos… not quite as pretty as that Pikachu, but probably a lot more playable.

This one is quite the pretty thing: a special illustration art of Pokemon’s poster rodent, Pikachu, with the three Paldean starters – Fueco, Sprigatito and Quaxly. Well, Iono is going to end up everywhere (like, everywhere, dude) because it has both players shuffle their hand, put it on the bottom of their deck and then draw a number of cards according to their prize cards. You might get a hit, you might not, and like at organised pre-releases, drawing just one playable ex card can give you a very unfair advantage over your opponent(s). com/toys-games/trading-cards/products/pokemon-trading-card-game-scarlet-and-violet-elite-trainer-box/11205999. It is a combination of Japan’s Snow Hazard and Clay Burst with some cards kept over from the three starter sets.The Glittering Terastal phenomenon affects Pokemon ex like Tyranitar, Eiscue, and Vespiquen, giving them different types. Scarlet and Violet saw the end of the non-holo rare and the birth of the triple holo combo – every pack has at least two reverse holos and one holo rare – so there is something for everyone in every pack.

I managed to pull a Paldean Clodsire ex from my two Build and Battle boxes (which has a very nice poison-your-opponent-if-there-is-a-stadium-in-play ability) which would definitely have given me the edge with its 200 hp attack. The Build and Battle Stadium (BABS) contains essentially a take away pre-release experience for two: it has two Build and Battle boxes, each of which contains a forty-card playable deck, including one of four different promo cards (for Paldea Evolved, the cards are Baxcalibur, Pelipper, Murkrow and Tinkaton), and four Paldea Evolved booster packs.The rarity terms are common, uncommon, rare, ex, full art, Special Illustrator Rare(s) and Gold cards. Though the humble booster pack is still an option, you'll now also find dozens of unique packages offering access to thousands of eye-catching cards. ETBs have also been notoriously hit-free in the past, but the cards I drew from it were Meowscarada ex (an interesting card that has discard a grass and damage ability), a Special Illustrator Art Quaxly and a Full Art Squawkabilly ex (completing my United Wings deck – thank you kindly! Now Paldea Evolved, like all second offerings, is not quite as exciting as Scarlet and Violet - I mean, there’s nothing as mind-bogglingly useful as Miraidon ex, Gardevoir ex or Electric Generator – but it is no set to be sleeping on, as goes the parlance of our times. And even the not-so-hot Pokemon look like they might make for some interesting new decks and, more importantly, a chance to get back in the game and hit back at some of those ever-present meta decks.

The sleeves, featuring the three Paldean starters, are also bold and colourful, and though they aren’t the most play-friendly, one can never have too many sleeves.It also has everything you need for two players to get their game on, as in previous BABS, though you will have to share damage dice.
