SAVE $8.12: As of Oct. 28, the Pokémon TCG Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box is $74.82 at TCGplayer, compared to $82.94 at Amazon.
Remember Surging Sparks? I wouldn’t be suprised if you forgot about it thanks to the Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames hype train. Whilst we’re struggling for said train to stop at the station so we can pick it up, Surging Sparks sealed product is finally coming back down to earth.
The Surging Sparks ETB is currently $74.79 at TCGplayer, a saving of $8.12 on an overpriced $82.94 at Amazon. It should be cheaper on Amazon, as they should really be selling sealed product for MSRP, but secondary market values are fighting the good fight and giving people prices they’re willing to pay.
Trainers will get eight Surging Sparks booster packs, a set of 65 deck sleeves that match the Pikachu theme of the Elite Trainer Box, a set of dice, card dividers, a card storage box, and a promo Magneton Illustration Rare card.

Another great point to make about Surging Sparks is single card values — they’ve crashed since their peak at the start of the year, making it a great time to save money on endless pack openings and just snag the chase card you need. Tacking Pikachu ex SIR as an example, which was going for around $485 in January, but is now selling regularly around the $330 mark. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say this card and the other chase cards will climb once again when we see the set go out of print at somepoint in 2026, so it’s a great time to buy:
