Pokémon Elite Trainer Boxes consistently generate high demand. They include booster packs, promo cards, dice, sleeves, and a durable box for your collection, providing an excellent way to dive into a new set. However, Amazon frequently lists them at prices exceeding MSRP.

This is why TCGPlayer stands out as the preferable option currently.

For four different Scarlet & Violet ETBs, TCGPlayer prices are more aligned with the $49.99 to $59.99 range, whereas Amazon’s prices are about 12 to 14% higher. Let’s take a look at each deal and the chase cards you could discover in these sets. Keep in mind, these chase cards are extremely rare, and it may be more economical to purchase the individual card you desire instead of relying on chance with booster packs.

Pokémon TCG Black Bolt ETB

The Black Bolt ETB features nine Scarlet & Violet booster packs, a full-art Thundurus promo (209) unique to this box, 65 themed sleeves, dice, condition markers, and a collector’s box complete with dividers.

– Victini – 171/086 (Black White Rare) — $439.99
– Zekrom ex – 172/086 (Black White Rare) — $380
– Zekrom ex – 166/086 (Special Illustration Rare) — $200
– Seismitoad – 105/086 (Illustration Rare) — $175
– Kyurem ex – 165/086 (Special Illustration Rare) — $65

The Black Bolt features chase cards like Victini and Zekrom, both having market values surpassing $300. For collectors, obtaining one of these legendary figures could cover the expense of multiple ETBs.

Most players may not secure these coveted cards, which is why many collectors opt to buy singles like Seismitoad or Kyurem ex rather than opening packs. Yet, if you thrive on the excitement of unboxing and the possibility of hitting the jackpot, Black Bolt holds significant potential.

Pokémon TCG White Flare ETB

White Flare ETB comes with nine booster packs, a full-art Tornadus promo (210), 65 card sleeves, a set of dice, condition markers, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

– Victini – 172/086 (Black White Rare) — $448.95
– Reshiram ex – 173/086 (Black White Rare) — $399.99
– Reshiram ex – 166/086 (Special Illustration Rare) — $190
– Hydreigon ex – 169/086 (Special Illustration Rare) — $81.66
– Hilda – 171/086 (Special Illustration Rare) — $82.67

White Flare’s key cards, Victini and Reshiram, are prominent Legendaries with significant market values. Either card could transform a single ETB into a valuable acquisition.

Nonetheless, the chances of pulling one are minimal, which leads many collectors to prefer purchasing singles like Hydreigon ex or Hilda. White Flare favors the fortunate, but if you have a specific card in mind, buying singles is usually the more prudent option.

Pokémon TCG Destined Rivals ETB

Destined Rivals ETB centers around rivalries and trainer Pokémon collaborations. It consists of nine booster packs, a full-art Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo (203), 65 card sleeves, dice, markers, and impressive box artwork.

– Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex – 231/182 (Special Illustration Rare) — $321
– Cynthia’s Garchomp ex – 232/182 (Special Illustration Rare) — $200.28
– Team Rocket’s Moltres ex – 229/182 (Special Illustration Rare) — $160
– Ethan’s Ho-Oh ex – 230/182 (Special Illustration Rare) — $150
– Team Rocket’s Nidoking ex – 233/182 (Special Illustration Rare) — $99.49

Mewtwo ex from Team Rocket stands out as the top chase card, valued at over $300. Cynthia’s Garchomp and Ethan’s Ho-Oh provide appealing options for both collectors and competitive deck builders.

These cards are difficult to obtain. While the possibility of finding Mewtwo ex is thrilling, most collectors discover it’s more budget-friendly to purchase singles like Moltres or Nidoking instead of taking a chance with booster packs.

Pokémon TCG Twilight Masquerade ETB

Twilight Masquerade ETB ranks among the most stylish boxes of the Scarlet & Violet series, showcasing a full-art Teal Mask Ogerpon promo (123). Accompanied by nine booster packs, it includes 65 themed sleeves, dice, counters, and a collector’s box adorned with a mask design.

– Greninja ex – 214/167 (Special Illustration Rare) — $275
– Perrin – 220/167 (Special Illustration Rare) — $91
