Questions collectors ask
- What can I buy for Scarlet & Violet?
- Scarlet & Violet comes as Booster Boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes, Booster Bundles, Booster Packs and more. Each one in the Shop shows what it's worth today and who's selling it.
- Booster bundle or Elite Trainer Box?
- A booster bundle is just packs — six of them. An Elite Trainer Box has more packs plus sleeves, energy cards, dice and a sturdy storage box. If you only want to open packs, the bundle is the cheaper way in; the Elite Trainer Box makes a better gift or a first box for a new player.
- How do I know if a price is fair?
- Open the card or product on PokeGoTo first. It shows what it's worth today and how the price has moved, so a listing that's far above that stands out straight away.
