Released on November 02, 2016, the XY Evolutions Pokemon Elite Trainer Box comes in either the red box featuring Mega Charizard Y or the blue box featuring Mega Blastoise. Each Elite Trainer Box comes with 8 booster packs for the XY Evolution series of the Pokemon TCG (Trading Card Game).
Included in the box are 45
Pokémon TCG Energy cards and 65 protective card sleeves to keep the new cards in pristine condition. The sleeves themselves feature stunning artwork of either Mega Blastoise or Mega Charizard (depending on the box the sleeves come from). On top of that, there is a single code card to redeem the purchased cards on Pokémon Trading Card Game Online.
The box also comes with everything you need to play Pokemon TCG properly. Within the box is a handy player’s guide to the new XY expansion. The guide will cover all the rules and ways to play the game and compete. Additionally, a 6-damage counter die, 2 acrylic condition markers, and one competition-legal coin-flip die is also included in the set. In tandem with the 4 official collectors box dividers, these items will ensure an ideal gameplay experience.
Like most Collector’s Box sets released by Pokémon, both the Mega Blastoise and Mega Charizard Y boxes come with everything needed to augment your current collection or begin your Pokémon journey. Even those unfamiliar with the card game can easily learn by reading the guide that is included in every set. This product is ideal for both new trainers and returning fans of Pokémon and Pokémon the Trading Card Game.
Those hunting for rare cards will be interested in the XY Evolutions booster packs as they can potentially contain some MEGA rare cards. The EX-versions of Mega Charizard, Blastoise, Venusar, Mewtwo, and Pidegot are just a few of the more notable cards available. Other highlights include holographic Chansey, Zapdos, Poliwrath, Machamp, Hyrados, and even Mew.
Unboxing can be an exciting experience for some. But for the avid Pokémon card collector, knowing the proper way in which to open the booster pack for the expansion is key. For the most excitement when opening a booster pack from the XY expansion, it is best to pull the packaging off of the cards but keep them face-down. Take the first three cards on top and move them to the back of the deck. Flip the deck of cards upwards and the deck is ready to go. Flip through each card to check for any valuable cards. Due to the way the deck has been set, the guaranteed holographic will always be the second-to-last card revealed just before the bonus/rare card at the very end.
The Pokemon Elite Trainer Box
XY Evolutions expansion includes over 100 new, unique Pokémon cards. If you really want to collect them all or even just want to play Pokémon with friends, this set plus its 8 included booster packs will surely give anyone the best start they can get and help them get on their way to catch them all!
