If you’re reading this, you’ve probably also told yourself this would be the month you don’t buy more Pokémon cards. Same here. Yet, here we are, eyeing another lineup of Elite Trainer Boxes and tins, fully aware these are choices we'll likely regret but can't resist making again.

Pokémon TCG: Azure Legends Tin - 5 Packs

### Pokémon TCG: Azure Legends Tin - 5 Packs

0Contains 2 x Surging Spark Boosters$29.99 at AmazonThis tin is surprisingly solid. You get five booster packs from a great mix of sets — Surging Sparks, Stellar Crown, Temporal Forces, and Obsidian Flames — plus a promo featuring either Kyogre, Dialga, or Xerneas. It's essentially Pokémon's version of a loot box, and yes, I bought two. With chase cards like Pikachu ex, Terapagos, and Raging Bolt across the included sets, the odds of pulling something exciting are pretty good. I'm not usually a fan of tins, but I'd definitely pick up another one.

### Pikachu ex - 238/191

### Pokémon TCG: Stacking Tin (Q1 2025) - 3 Packs, Stickers (Random Design)

0Contains 1 x Surging Sparks Booster$19.99 at AmazonI didn't have high expectations. I bought it mainly for the sticker sheets and the chance at a Surging Sparks pack. And it didn't disappoint. Three packs, one of which might yield something like Pikachu ex or Latias ex, and a tin that now holds nothing. I can’t even be upset. There's a slim chance you’ll pull a Milotic ex or Ceruledge ex if you're lucky with the packs, and if not? You spent twenty bucks to roll the dice and got some vaguely useful storage in return. That's more than I can say for half the cereal I've bought this year.

### Alolan Exeggutor ex - 242/191

### Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paradox Rift: Elite Trainer Box - Roaring Moon

0$56.77 at Amazon I bought this one for the sleeves and stayed because Roaring Moon ex is the embodiment of a Pokémon that's done playing fair. If your aim is to end games quickly and stylishly, this is the card for you. Paradox Rift might not have as many chase cards, but the ones it does have—like Iron Valiant ex and Groudon—feel like they were designed to be admired for decades.

### Groudon - 199/182

0$34.99 at TCG PlayerPokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Temporal Forces: Elite Trainer Box: Walking Wake

### Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Temporal Forces: Elite Trainer Box: Walking Wake

0$53.64 at AmazonThe Walking Wake Elite Trainer Box includes a full-art Flutter Mane and nine more Temporal Forces packs, offering another chance at the best art of the Scarlet & Violet era. This version embraces the ancient theme, and I bought it to boost my odds of pulling Walking Wake ex. Is it playable? That's up for debate. But its vibrant blues and prehistoric drama make it seem like it stepped out of a vivid dream. The sleeves are sleek, and I like to think I care about those.

### Raging Bolt ex - 208/162

0$112.94 at TCG Player### Iron Crown ex - 206/162

0$65.11 at TCG Player### Walking Wake ex - 205/162

### Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Temporal Forces: Elite Trainer Box: Iron Leaves

0$55.24 at AmazonIron Leaves ex combines playability with stunning artwork, looking like it's leaping out of a sci-fi anime. This is exactly the kind of energy I want from my pulls. Other heavy hitters like Iron Crown ex and Gouging Fire ex either pack a punch or have an imposing presence. But Raging Bolt ex steals the spotlight with its dramatic flair, perfectly blending "meta staple" with "thunder god cosplayer."

### Morty's Conviction - 211/162

0$29.95 at TCG Player Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

### Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

0$57.98 at AmazonShrouded Fable subtly introduces cards like Houndoom, which commands a hushed reverence, and Persian, which seems to be plotting something cinematic. While the promos and sleeves are nice, I was drawn to this box for the Illustration Rares that not only look fantastic but also tell a story. Fezandipiti ex, for instance, is a versatile support attacker, and Cassiopeia offers pure character drama in a foil rectangle. The art direction in this set is almost pretentious, and I mean that in the best possible way.
