Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG: More Surging Sparks Tins Available

Author：Kristen Update：May 17,2025

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 like they’re life choices we already regret but will definitely make again.

Scarlet & Violet sets keep dropping incredible releases, both visually and competitively, and unfortunately for our wallets, some of these boxes are genuinely worth opening.

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 — plus one 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 across the included sets (Pikachu ex, Terapagos, Raging Bolt, you name it), the odds of pulling something exciting are actually pretty good. I'm not even a fan of tins, yet I'd still 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 have high expectations. I bought it for the sticker sheets and the promise of a Surging Sparks pack. And it delivered. Three packs, one of which might yield something like Pikachu ex or Latias ex, and a tin I now use to store nothing in particular. I can't even be upset about it. 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 paid twenty bucks to take a chance and got some marginally 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 one for the sleeves and ended up staying because Roaring Moon ex is what happens when a Pokémon decides it's done playing fair. If your goal is to end games in one swift, violent swing and look fantastic doing it, this is your card. Paradox Rift doesn’t have as many chase cards, but the ones it does — like Iron Valiant ex and Groudon — feel like they were crafted by someone who knows we’ll all be staring at these like ancient artifacts 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 to try your luck again on the best art of the Scarlet & Violet era. This version dives into the ancient side of things, and I picked it up mostly to increase my chances of pulling 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 its vibrant blues and prehistoric drama, the vibe alone was worth the price. Plus, the sleeves are sleek, 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 pulls off the rare combination of being both playable and beautifully illustrated. 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 like a truck or look like they're about to. Raging Bolt ex steals the show, though. It's loud, dramatic, and perfectly balanced between "meta staple" and "thunder god cosplayer."

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

0$57.98 at Amazon

Shrouded Fable can quietly slip in cards like Houndoom (the kind of illustration that makes you lower your voice in reverence) and Persian, which looks like it's plotting something appropriately cinematic. The promos and sleeves are nice, but I really wanted this box for the Illustration Rares that don't just look cool — they 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 almost pretentious, and I mean that as a compliment.
