Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG: More Surging Sparks Tins Available

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. And yet, here we are, staring down another lineup of Elite Trainer Boxes and tins, like they’re life choices we already regret but will definitely make 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 an excellent mix of sets — Surging Sparks, Stellar Crown, Temporal Forces, and Obsidian Flames — along with a promo featuring either Kyogre, Dialga, or Xerneas. It's essentially Pokémon's version of a loot box, and yes, I bought two. With the chase cards across the included sets (Pikachu ex, Terapagos, Raging Bolt, to name a few), the odds of hitting something exciting are quite good. Even though I'm not usually a fan of tins, I'd happily grab 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 expect much from this tin. I bought it mainly for the sticker sheets and the slight chance of getting a Surging Sparks pack. And it delivered. You get three packs, one of which might yield something like Pikachu ex or Latias ex, and a tin that I now use to store, well, nothing. I can’t even be upset. There’s a small chance you’ll pull a Milotic ex or Ceruledge ex if you’re lucky, and if not? You’ve spent twenty dollars to take a chance and got some vaguely useful storage in return. That's more than I can say for half the cereal I've bought this year.

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

0$56.77 at AmazonI picked up this box initially for the sleeves but stayed because Roaring Moon ex is essentially what happens when a Pokémon decides to stop playing fair. If your goal is to end games with one decisive move and look fantastic doing it, this is your card. 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 created by someone who knows we’ll be admiring them like ancient art in 30 years.

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

0$53.64 at AmazonThe Walking Wake Elite Trainer Box comes with a full-art Flutter Mane and nine more Temporal Forces packs to roll the dice again on some of the best art from the Scarlet & Violet era. This version focuses on the ancient theme, and I picked it up to increase my chances of pulling Walking Wake ex. Is it playable? That's debatable. But it looks like it stepped out of a dream I had after eating too much sushi. With its vibrant blues and prehistoric drama, the aesthetic alone was worth the price. Plus, the sleeves are stylish, and I pretend I care about those.

### Raging Bolt ex - 208/162

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

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

0$55.24 at AmazonIron Leaves ex achieves the rare feat of being both highly playable and beautifully illustrated. It looks like it's mid-leap from a sci-fi anime, which is exactly the kind of energy I want from my pulls. Other standout cards like Iron Crown ex and Gouging Fire ex either hit hard or look ready to do so. However, Raging Bolt ex steals the spotlight. It's loud, dramatic, and perfectly balanced between "meta staple" and "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, whose illustration commands a hushed reverence, and Persian, which seems to be plotting something cinematic. The promos and sleeves are great, but I really wanted this box for the Illustration Rares that not only look cool but tell a story. Fezandipiti ex, for instance, is the ultimate support attacker, and Cassiopeia is pure character drama in a foil rectangle. The art direction in this set is almost pretentious, and I mean that as a compliment.
