This set boasts over 180 cards, including 40+ Trainer Pokémon, 16 Pokémon ex, 11 Illustration Rares, six Special Illustration Rares, three Hyper Rare gold cards, and returning Box Toppers (Enhanced Booster Display Boxes feature a stamped N’s Reshiram Illustration Rare). Let's dive into my product openings!
My Journey Together Product Openings
Journey Together Standard Booster Box
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 hits, I pulled numerous strong ex cards ready for my decks. While I missed Hop’s Zacian ex and Lillie’s Clefairy ex Special Art Rare, the sheer volume of cards made it a worthwhile experience. A Booster Box is perfect for pack-opening enthusiasts or those wanting a collection boost. See my rare pulls below!
Journey Together Elite Trainer Box
The Elite Trainer Box offers a premium feel. The N’s Zorua promo is eye-catching, and the box itself is ideal for storage. The included sleeves, dice, and condition markers are fantastic, and nine booster packs offer additional pull potential. I pulled Iono’s Kilowattrel Illustration Rare, Articuno Illustration Rare, and a Veluza ex—a fun haul! ETBs lack the sheer number of hits of a Booster Box, but the structured, all-in-one nature is appealing. See the full rare card list below.
Journey Together Build & Battle Box
The Build & Battle Box offers a unique experience. The pre-built 40-card deck is perfect for immediate gameplay. My promo was Hop’s Snorlax, a strong card boosting Hop’s Pokémon attacks by 30 damage. The four included packs yielded Mamoswine ex and Swinub Illustration Rare, perfectly complementing my deck. Fewer rare pulls than a Booster Box are expected, but it's the ideal option for quick gameplay. I'm eager to open another to see the other promos. See my pulls below.
