Amazon Pokémon TCG Restock Updates: I've Found More Surging Sparks Packs In Tins

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably also told yourself this would be the month you don’t buy more Pokémon cards. Same. And yet here we are, staring down 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 continue to dazzle with stunning visuals and competitive edge, and unfortunately for our wallets, some of these boxes are genuinely worth tearing into.

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 stellar 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 take on a loot box, and yes, I bought two. With chase cards across the included sets (Pikachu ex, Terapagos, Raging Bolt, to name a few), the chances of pulling something exciting are quite high. 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 wasn't expecting much from this tin. I bought it for the sticker sheets and the vague 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... well, nothing. But I can't even be mad. There's a slim chance you'll pull a Milotic ex or Ceruledge ex if luck is on your side with the packs, and if you don't? You've spent twenty dollars to roll the dice 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 grabbed this box for the sleeves and stayed because Roaring Moon ex is the epitome of a Pokémon that doesn't play fair. If your aim is to end games with one powerful move and look good doing it, this is your card. Paradox Rift might not boast as many chase cards, but those it does have—like Iron Valiant ex and Groudon—feel crafted by someone who knows we'll be gazing at them like ancient art 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 includes a full-art Flutter Mane and nine more Temporal Forces packs to try your luck again with the best art of the Scarlet & Violet era. This box focuses on the ancient theme, and I picked it up mainly to boost my chances of pulling Walking Wake ex. Is it competitive? That's up for debate. But it looks like it stepped out of a dream I had after too much sushi. With its vibrant blues and prehistoric drama, the vibe alone justifies 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 manages to be both playable and beautifully illustrated. It appears as if it's mid-leap from a sci-fi anime, which is exactly the kind of energy I want from my pulls. Other heavy hitters like Iron Crown ex and Gouging Fire ex either pack a punch or look like they're about to. Raging Bolt ex, however, steals the spotlight. 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 subtly introduces cards like Houndoom (with an illustration that commands reverence) and Persian, which looks like it's plotting something cinematic. The promos and sleeves are great, but I was after this box for the Illustration Rares that not only look cool but also tell a story. Fezandipiti ex, for instance, is a versatile support attacker, and Cassiopeia offers pure character drama in a foil rectangle. The art direction in this set is almost pretentious, and I mean that as a compliment.
