In this article, we will look at the most expensive Pokemon TCG booster boxes that you can purchase right now.
In the Pokemon TCG, the best way to purchase multiple booster packs at once is by getting a booster box. Opening a booster box gives players a chance to build the deck they want. Sometimes you can also pull cards with high resale value. If you get lucky, you can make some money back by selling an extra copy.
So, in this article, we will look at the most expensive Pokemon TCG booster boxes. Keep in mind, if you choose to buy a booster pack instead of a box, it will still be expensive, but will have a much lower chance of yielding a valuable card. Additionally, you would need to purchase multiple packs to build a deck. In that case, the booster box should be preferred over buying individual packs.
Top 5 Most Expensive Pokemon TCG Booster Boxes in 2025
These booster boxes are currently the most expensive ones out there:
- Journey Together Elite Trainer Box
- Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box
- Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box
- Twilight Masquerade Elite Trainer Box
- Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box
5) Journey Together Elite Trainer Box
Price: ~$247
Most valuable cards: Lillie’s Clefairy ex Special Illustration Rare (~$157)
Journey Together has seen some fantastic cards focusing on the bond between Trainers and their Pokemon. Among them, N’s Zoroark ex has seen decent competitive use, as has Lillie’s Clefairy ex, both in its own right and as part of Gardevoir ex decks.
4) Stellar Crown Elite Trainer Box
Price: ~$252
Most valuable cards: Squirtle Illustration Rare (~$80)
Stellar Crown is most remembered for Terapagos ex and how the meta revolved around it for quite some time. This remains the main reason behind the set’s popularity and continues to drive booster box sales. Other notable cards from this set include Noctowl, Fan Rotom, and Area Zero Underdepths.
3) Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box
Price: ~$266
Most valuable cards: Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare (~$329), Latias ex Special Illustration Rare (~$181), and Milotic ex Special Illustration Rare (~$104)
Surging Sparks is one of the most successful sets in recent memory, containing both competitive and meta-relevant cards. We have Milotic ex, who would be the bane of many Tera Pokemon decks. There’s also Latias ex, who helps your Basic Pokemon switch around without a Retreat Cost. Meanwhile, Pikachu ex became a strong fit for Miraidon ex and Joltik Box decks as another reliable Lightning-type attacker.
2) Twilight Masquerade Elite Trainer Box
Price: ~$319
Most valuable cards: Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare (~$355)
Twilight Masquerade introduced Dragapult ex, which became a meta-defining deck on its own. Beyond Dragapult, this set also includes useful support cards like Munkidori and Teal Mask Ogerpon ex, which remain popular in many builds. Of course, pulling a Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare alone can easily cover the cost of this box and more.
1) Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box
Price: ~$462
Most valuable cards: Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare (~$471), Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Special Illustration Rare (~$261), Ethan’s Ho-Oh ex Special Illustration Rare (~$216), Team Rocket’s Moltres ex Special Illustration Rare (~$143), Team Rocket’s Nidoking ex Special Illustration Rare (~$118)
Destined Rivals is one of the most beloved expansions in recent years. Much of the love for this set comes from nostalgia, with Team Rocket receiving significant focus. However, it wasn’t just the infamous Kanto villains who stood out; Cynthia and Ethan also had dedicated cards. As the most expensive set, Destined Rivals also offers the widest selection of high-value cards available for resale, making it a collector’s favorite.
