Surging Sparks Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box

The Pokémon Center version holds eleven packs against the standard box's nine, plus the usual 65 card sleeves, basic Energy cards and dice. Two extra packs is the entire case for it, and on a 252-card set that is worth having. These are allocated rather than distributed freely in the UK, so they are harder to find than the general release and more likely to carry a markup, which is the thing to watch: two packs of value does not justify a large premium. The set is fronted by the Stellar Tera Pikachu ex, with Latias ex the card that went on to serious competitive play and Archaludon ex behind it. Released 8 November 2024. Compare against a standard ETB plus two loose packs before paying up, because that is usually the cheaper route to the same contents.
