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. Even beyond the big pulls, I found many strong ex cards for my decks. This box was a fantastic experience!
While I missed Hop's Zacian ex and Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Art Rare (the luck of the draw!), the sheer number of pulls made it worthwhile. A Booster Box is ideal for pack-opening enthusiasts or those wanting a large card influx.
Journey Together Elite Trainer Box
The Elite Trainer Box offers a premium feel. The N's Zorua promo was a standout, and the box itself is perfect for storage. The included sleeves, dice, and condition markers are excellent for players. Nine booster packs provided some great pulls, including Iono's Kilowattrel Illustration Rare, Articuno Illustration Rare, and a Veluza ex. ETBs offer a balance of pack-opening fun and extra collectibles.
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 fantastic card boosting Hop's Pokémon attacks by 30 damage. The four included packs yielded Mamoswine ex and Swinub Illustration Rare—a perfect thematic fit for my deck. It's the best option for quick gameplay with the new set, though the limited packs mean fewer rare pulls.
My Pokémon TCG: Journey Together Pulls
From 49 packs, I obtained 18 rare cards—a mix of expected and surprising pulls. Here are my highlights:
