Pokemon Card Game /Booster Boxes

What is a Pokemon booster box?

Booster boxes are what they sound like: they give your Pokemon card collection a boost by providing a wealth of helpful cards so that you can expand your arsenal in a balanced way. Booster boxes provide card packets that certain types of cards are guaranteed, such as by rarity and card type, but what you specifically get is up to chance.

Why buy a Japanese booster box instead of English boosters?

Collectors love Japanese Pokemon booster boxes for a variety of reasons! Whether it’s for the novelty and rarity of a card you can only get abroad, the aesthetics of region-exclusive art, or for specific promotional merch included, there are plenty of reasons to add Japanese Pokemon cards to your collection. Some also claim they are of better quality. Just as importantly, Japanese booster boxes often tend to be more inexpensive, not only when exchange rates are favorable.

Can I mix Japanese and English Pokémon cards in my deck?

You can mix Japanese Pokemon cards with official cards in other languages, but there are a few things to keep in mind: first, the backs of the cards are different, so it’s best to use card sleeves that cover the backs when you’re playing with them. Second, it’s best practice to use a translation guide for any cards that aren’t in the main language.

What does the “sealed box” condition mean?

“Sealed box” condition means that everything is in pristine condition, with nothing removed from its packaging. Trading cards in this condition are what collectors prefer, since that keeps Pokemon cards at their highest value and helps that value appreciate over time.

Do the cards inside a Japanese booster box include promos or extras?
