Pokemon Paradox Rift Product Release Schedule

Paradox Rift – Build and Battle Box

Release date: October 21, 2023 at local game stores and TCGplayer.

While Paradox Rift may not be generally available until November third, you can actually get the build and battle box early. If you aren’t familiar with this particular hack, it’s called a prerelease event. Only available at local game stores, stopping by for a prerelease event and tournament at your local game shop not only gives you a fantastic opportunity to try out the latest cards for yourself, it gives you access to the latest cards before they are generally available.

This also means that whatever valuable cards you pull from your booster packs will be much more valuable during the prerelease period than they will be once the set becomes generally available.

The Paradox Rift Build and Battle Box Includes:
• A 40-card ready-to-play deck, including 1 of 4 unique foil promo cards
• 4 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift booster packs
• A code card for Pokémon TCG Live

See what’s inside and get a general sense of strategy you can use at your prerelease event in our Paradox Rift Build and Battle Box guide.

Paradox Rift Booster Box

Release date: November 3, 2023

Market price: $106

If you know you are going to open a lot of Paradox Rift packs, then getting a booster box is goin to be the best bang for your buck. The booster box gets you 36 Paradox Rift booster packs, which gives you a pretty heavy discount per pack. Additionally, because of the way booster boxes are compiled at the factory, you may have a more consistent chance of pulling rare cards than you would with random packs you find at the store.

Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Box

Release date: November 3, 2023

Market price: $39.29

Elite Trainer Boxes are a great way for collectors and players to get access to the new Paradox Rift cards without needing to make as hefty of an investment as they would with the booster box. Additionally, Elite Trainer Boxes have the advantage of providing colorful storage boxes as well as everything you theoretically need to play a game of Pokemon with your friends, including dice, sleeves, and a VSTAR marker.

The Paradox Rift ETB includes 9 booster packs, 1 full-art promo card featuring Scream Tail or Iron Bundle (depending on which ETB you get), as well as the sleeves, energy cards, dice, players guide, condition markers and a code card for PTCG Live.

Paradox Rift Booster Bundle

Release date: November 3, 2023

Market price: $24.41

Booster bundles are ideal for the casual collector looking to have some fun opening a few packs at a slightly reduced cost. Personally, I love booster bundles. I have a lot of ETBs so don’t really need the dice and sleeves etc…Booster bundles are usually the best value for new Pokemon sets for my purposes (although for sets I’m really excited about I will definitely splurge for the booster box).

The Paradox Rift booster bundle includes: 6 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift booster packs.
