Opening a 36-pack Booster Box is exhilarating! My highlights included N's Reshiram Illustration Rare, Iono's Bellibolt ex Secret Rare, and a Hyper Rare Spiky Energy. Beyond the big pulls, I found many excellent ex cards for my decks. While I missed Hop's Zacian ex and Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Art Rare, the sheer volume of packs made this a worthwhile experience for building my collection.
The Elite Trainer Box offers a premium feel. The N's Zorua promo was a nice surprise, and the box itself is great for storage. The included sleeves, dice, and condition markers are useful for players, and the nine booster packs yielded Iono's Kilowattrel Illustration Rare, Articuno Illustration Rare, and a Veluza ex—a solid haul considering the pack count. ETBs provide a balance of pack-opening excitement and extra collectibles.
The Build & Battle Box offers a different experience. The pre-built 40-card deck is perfect for immediate gameplay. My promo was Hop's Snorlax, a strong card whose ability boosts all Hop's Pokémon by 30 damage. The four included packs delivered Mamoswine ex and Swinub Illustration Rare, fitting my deck's theme perfectly. Fewer packs mean fewer rare pulls, but it's the ideal choice for quickly starting to play with the new set.
From 49 booster packs, I pulled 18 rare cards. Here are the highlights:
Journey Together is a must-have for Pokémon TCG fans. The return of Trainer's Pokémon adds a new dimension to gameplay, and the stunning artwork and potential for competitive cards make it appealing to collectors and players alike. With exciting cards like N's Reshiram, Iono's Bellibolt ex, and the elusive Hyper Rare Spiky Energy, this set is packed with incredible pulls. Start planning your hunt now!
