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, feeling that familiar mix of regret and excitement.

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. It comes with five booster packs from a diverse mix of sets — Surging Sparks, Stellar Crown, Temporal Forces, and Obsidian Flames — plus a promo card featuring either Kyogre, Dialga, or Xerneas. It's essentially Pokémon's version of a loot box, and yes, I ended up buying two. With chase cards like Pikachu ex, Terapagos, and Raging Bolt spread across the included sets, your chances of pulling something exciting are quite good. I'm not usually a fan of tins, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another one.

### 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 for this one. I bought it mainly for the sticker sheets and the chance of getting a Surging Sparks pack. And it delivered. You get three packs, one of which might contain something like Pikachu ex or Latias ex, along with a tin that I now use for storage. I can't even be disappointed. There's a slight chance you might pull a Milotic ex or Ceruledge ex if you're lucky, and if not, you've still got a useful tin for your twenty bucks. That's more than I can say for much of the cereal I've bought this year.

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

0$56.77 at Amazon I picked this up for the sleeves but stayed because Roaring Moon ex is the kind of card that turns games around with a single powerful move, all while looking fantastic. Paradox Rift might not have as many chase cards, but the ones it does have — like Iron Valiant ex and Groudon — feel like timeless pieces of art that we'll still be admiring decades from now.

### 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, giving you another chance to pull some of the best art from the Scarlet & Violet era. This box focuses on the ancient theme, and I bought it hoping to increase my chances of getting Walking Wake ex. Is it competitive? That's debatable, but its vibrant blues and prehistoric vibe make it a worthwhile purchase. Plus, the sleeves are sleek, even if I pretend not to care about them.

### Raging Bolt ex - 208/162

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

0$55.24 at AmazonIron Leaves ex manages to be both competitively viable and beautifully illustrated. It looks like it's leaping straight out of a sci-fi anime, which is the exact energy I want from my pulls. Other strong cards like Iron Crown ex and Gouging Fire ex either pack a punch or look ready to do so. However, Raging Bolt ex steals the spotlight with its loud, dramatic design, perfectly balancing between being a meta staple and a thunder god cosplayer.

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

0$57.98 at AmazonShrouded Fable quietly introduces cards like Houndoom, which commands reverence with its stunning illustration, and Persian, which seems to be plotting something cinematic. The promos and sleeves are nice, but I bought this box primarily for the Illustration Rares that not only look amazing but also tell a story. Fezandipiti ex, for instance, is a versatile support attacker, and Cassiopeia offers character drama in a foil rectangle. The art direction in this set is almost pretentious, and I mean that as the highest praise.
