Everything In The Pokémon TCG: Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box (2024)

Details for the next Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Stellar Crown, have now been officially announced, including the unveiling of the TCG’s next Elite Trainer Box. Elite Trainer Boxes provide an excellent start to the collection of any TCG set, especially when taking their customary range of exclusive bonuses into account. Because of this, the contents of Stellar Crown’s own Elite Trainer Box are sure to be of great value to anyone interested in the expansion.

A large part of the Stellar Crown expansion has already been leaked online, albeit in its Japanese form as Stellar Miracle. As a result, significant interest in the set has already been raised. Of course, the Pokémon TCG has increasingly cared about collectors in recent years with the illustrations of Secret Rare cards, and Stellar Crown shows no indication of breaking this pattern. As such, there is plenty of appeal in collecting as much of the set as possible, a goal that an Elite Trainer Box can greatly help with.

The Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box Includes Plenty of Cards And Exclusive Extras

Full-Art Promos, Card Sleeves, & More

The official Pokémon Center website now lists the Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box as available for preorder at a cost of $59.99 (prices from other retailers may vary). Although only a September release window is provided on Pokémon Center, an official release date of September 13 has been given for the expansion as a whole. In any case, Pokémon Center also details the contents of the Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box, which will be as follows:

• 11 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown booster packs
• 1 full-art foil promo card featuring Noctowl with a Pokémon Center logo
• 1 full-art foil promo card featuring Noctowl
• 65 card sleeves featuring Stellar Form Terapagos
• 45 Pokémon TCG Energy cards
• A player’s guide to the Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown expansion
• 6 damage-counter dice
• 1 competition-legal coin-flip die
• 2 plastic condition markers
• A box to hold everything, with 4 dividers to keep it organized
• A code card for Pokémon Trading Card Game Live

Stellar Crown’s Elite Trainer Box Is Typical Of Past Products

A Few Slight Variations

This list naturally matches the contents of previous Elite Trainer Boxes, with the differences being details like the card sleeve art, as well as the subject of the Promo Cards being Noctowl. However, it should also be noted that some of these inclusions are Pokémon Center exclusives. Elite Trainer Boxes supplied by other retailers will only contain 9 booster packs instead of 11. Likewise, the additional Noctowl Promo card with the Pokémon Center logo will not be included in boxes bought from other retailers.

Between introducing new Pokémon and a new mechanic to the Pokémon TCG, it is clear that there will be more than one must-have card in Stellar Crown. As such, the new Elite Trainer Box’s booster packs hold an incredible amount of gameplay potential. With so many cards available in one product, it will be perfectly possible to construct a new powerful deck with its contents alone, as well as a sleeve that deck ahead of playing with it.

Although not everyone will be interested in buying an Elite Trainer Box, the amount of booster packs included in this Stellar Crown product has an undeniable appeal to both players and collectors. The exclusive bonuses also included will undoubtedly be similarly enticing for many people. Moreover, while Pokémon Center’s own version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game product may be more expensive than what might be found elsewhere, the additional cards do help to justify the price difference and help encourage purchases directly from the source.

Summary

Spanning over twenty-five years, Pokemon, known as Pocket Monsters in Japan, is the multimedia franchise created jointly by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. Conceptualized by Satoshi Tajiri in association with Ken Sugimori and Junichi Masuda, Pokemon is set in fictional worlds where people live together with tamable creatures known as Pokemon. Humans who catch, raise, and battle the creatures are known as Pokemon Trainers. They head out on extensive journeys across their continents to raise their Pokemon with the ultimate goal of competing in tournaments to become the champion. Pokemon spans several massive properties, from a long-running animated series to a successful trading card game, to the medium that started it all, video games. In addition, Pokemon began the "two-game" trend where two versions of a game would release and include different Pokemon/features between the versions, encouraging players to meet up with others and trade so they could "catch 'em all."
