Despite the ongoing stock shortages throughout the Pokémon TCG community, retailers like Amazon have still been able to get stock of in-demand expansions like Destined Rivals, Black Bolt and White Flare, Paradox Rift, Temporal Forces, Surging Sparks, and Shrouded Fable.
The big caveat, however, is that while Amazon is hosting a variety of listings from different sellers, products from some sets are being sold well above their MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) due to higher marketing demand vs supply.
While this does deter standard scalpers and the coordinators of bot accounts, this has unfortunately inflated the expected prices of each set. Still, if you want to buy the latest Pokémon cards regardless of cost, here is the best of what Amazon has available for you right now.
White Flare & Black Bolt ETBs
Black Bolt Elite Trainer Box
2
Pokemon TCG White Flare Elite Trainer Box
0
Only released last week, the Elite Trainer Boxes for the Black Bolt & White Flare S&V expansions have been in hot demand most of all, but Amazon has listings for both ready to buy right now.
I previously found a deal on the Black Bolt ETB going for under $80, but those listings have been selling out awfully quick. For now, the White Flare ETB being sold for as low as $109.59 at the time of writing. Black Bolt Elite Trainer Boxes are still available, but the lowest is a higher $99.95.
Destined Rivals ETBs, Bundles & Boosters
The popular Destined Rivals expansion has also been just as elusive since launching in late May, but you can grab an ETB from Amazon for as low as $102.44 right now. That is a much higher price tag than its MSRP of $49.99, but eight-pack Booster Lots are alternatively available for $69.95, or six-pack Booster Bundles for $59.
If you just want to buy a pack or two, Destined Rivals Sleeve Boosters are available for as low as $11.89 each.
Charizard ex Super Premium Collection
Charizard ex Super Premium Collection

“Super Premium” is a fitting title with the minimum $93 price tag, but any Charmander fan will get a kick out of this Charizard ex Collection. The 10 included booster packs are a random selection of different sets, but will guarantee promo cards of Charizard ex, Charmleon, and Charmander, and a cool-looking Charizard card display figure.
Paradox Rift ETB
Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Box
0
At a still high (but not the most expensive) $94 for the cheapest Amazon listing, the Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Box will include a full-art foil promo card of Roaring Moon or Iron Valiant, along with nine Paradox Rift booster packs and all the usual bonus Pokémon TCG accessories
Twilight Masquerade ETB
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Twilight Masquerade Elite Trainer Box
0
Supposedly in more demand due to being a newer set compared to Paradox Rift, Amazon is selling the Twilight Masquerade Elite Trainer Boxes for $104.50 at the lowest. Along with the usual nine boosters respective to its set, the bonus full-art Pokémon card you’ll get this time is Teal Mask Ogerpon.
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection

Another mixture of different sets from $54.98, Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection features a three-card trio; Cynthia’s Garchomp ex, Cynthia’s Gabite, and Cynthia’s Gible; along with six booster packs. The packs are an interesting assortment of three boosters of Paradox Rift, one of Journey Together, and two from Destined Rivals.
Journey Together Booster Bundle
Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together Booster Build & Battle Box
0
Feeling slightly cheaper by comparison to Destined Rivals’ equivalent bundle, the six-pack Journey Together Booster Bundle has actually gone down in price to $44.90 from $59.99.
Charizard ex Special Collection
Charizard ex Special Collection

From $52.88, this second Charizard-based collection boasts its own full-art Charizard ex promo card, two more foil cards of Charmeleon and Charmander, and five TCG booster packs.
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Box
Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Box
1
For those who want to bolster their Destined Rivals decks, this slightly cheaper set included Team Rocket’s Mewtwo (plus an oversized version), along with Team Rocket’s Meowth and Team Rocket’s Giovanni and bonus foil cards.
As for packs, you’ll get four boosters. At least two packs of Destined Rivals are shown in the product pictures, but we believe the actual variety to be randomised.
Paldea Legends Tin
Only in stock at on Amazon
Paldea Legends Tin
0
For $39.89, the Paldea Legends Tin on Amazon will give you a random tin between those containing either Koraidon ex or Miraidon ex as a foil promo card. Then, alongside the code card for Pokemon TCG Live, like most of the other products on this list, you’ll get five booster packs.
Stacking Tins
Stacking Tin: Paradox Pokemon
1
You’ll get one of several random designs for the Stacking Tins as well, but for a cheaper $26.32. You only get three TCG booster packs, but also two Pokémon sticker sheets.
Shrouded Fable Mini Tin

Another Pokemon card restock with a sticker sheet, buying a Shrouded Fable Mini Tin guarantees you two Shrouded Fable booster packs, alongside a Pokemon art card showcasing each tin’s illustration.
