Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG: More Surging Sparks Tins Available

Author: Dylan Apr 19,2025

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably 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, like they’re life choices we already regret but will definitely make again.

The Scarlet & Violet sets keep dropping bangers, both visually and competitively, and unfortunately for our wallets, some of these boxes are actually worth ripping open.

Pokémon TCG: Azure Legends Tin - 5 Packs

0Contains 2 x Surging Spark Boosters $29.99 at Amazon

This tin is surprisingly solid. You get five booster packs from a great 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 yeah, I ended up buying two. With the chase cards across the included sets (Pikachu ex, Terapagos, Raging Bolt, take your pick), the odds of pulling something exciting are actually pretty good. I’m not usually a fan of tins, but I’d definitely grab another one.

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

0Contains 1 x Surging Sparks Booster $19.99 at Amazon

I didn’t expect much from this tin. I bought it mainly for the sticker sheets and the hope 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, plus a tin that I now use to store... well, nothing. But I can’t even be mad. There’s a small chance you’ll pull a Milotic ex or Ceruledge ex if you’re lucky with the packs, and if not? You paid twenty bucks to take a chance and got some mildly 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 Amazon

I got this box mainly for the sleeves but stayed because Roaring Moon ex is the kind of Pokémon that decides it’s done playing fair. If your goal is to end games in one powerful move and look great doing it, this is the box for you. Paradox Rift may not have as many chase cards, but the ones it does have—like Iron Valiant ex and Groudon—feel like they were drawn by someone who knows we’ll be staring at these like cave paintings in 30 years.

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

0$53.64 at Amazon

The Walking Wake Elite Trainer Box comes with a full-art Flutter Mane and nine more Temporal Forces packs, giving you another chance to pull the best art from the Scarlet & Violet era. This version leans into the ancient aesthetic, and I picked it up mostly to increase my odds of getting Walking Wake ex. Is it playable? That's debatable. But it looks like it wandered out of a dream I had after eating too much sushi. With vibrant blues and prehistoric drama, the vibe alone was worth the price. Plus, the sleeves are stylish, and I pretend I care about those.

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

0$55.24 at Amazon

Iron Leaves ex is a rare combination of being both playable and beautifully drawn. It looks like it’s mid-leap out of a sci-fi anime, which is exactly the kind of energy I want from my pulls. The other heavy hitters—like Iron Crown ex and Gouging Fire ex—either hit hard or look like they’re about to. Raging Bolt ex, however, steals the show. It’s loud, dramatic, and perfectly balanced between being a meta staple and a thunder god cosplayer.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

0$57.98 at Amazon

Shrouded Fable quietly introduces cards like Houndoom (the kind of illustration that makes you lower your voice in reverence) and Persian, which looks like it’s plotting something cinematic. The promos and sleeves are nice, but I really wanted this box for the Illustration Rares that not only look cool but tell a story. Fezandipiti ex, for example, is the Swiss Army knife of support attackers, and Cassiopeia is straight-up character drama in a foil rectangle. The art direction in this set is borderline pretentious, and I mean that as a compliment.
