- The Elite Trainer Box offers booster packs, card sleeves, energy cards, a player’s guide, and an Eevee promotional card, among other items.
The year 2024 marked an exciting chapter for Pokemon TCG, fueled by remarkable set releases and the introduction of the mobile game, Pokemon TCG Pocket. As we move into 2025, the anticipation mounts with the arrival of Prismatic Evolutions—an expansion dedicated to Eevee and its charming Eeveelutions.
Last year’s Surging Spark set gained immense popularity, particularly due to the coveted Special Illustration Rare Tera Pikachu Ex, which fetched prices around $500 on the secondary market. In a similar vein, Prismatic Evolutions is generating buzz and selling out at an impressive rate.
