My Journey Together Product Openings
Journey Together Standard Booster Box
Opening a 36-pack Booster Box is thrilling! My highlights included N's Reshiram Illustration Rare, Iono's Bellibolt ex Secret Rare, and a Hyper Rare Spiky Energy. Beyond the big pulls, I found many excellent ex cards for my decks. While I missed Hop's Zacian ex and Lillie's Clefairy ex Special Art Rare, the sheer volume of cards made this the most exciting way to experience the set. A must-have for pack-opening enthusiasts or collectors seeking a massive card influx.
Journey Together Elite Trainer Box
The Elite Trainer Box offers a premium experience. The N's Zorua promo immediately stood out, and the box itself is ideal for storage. The included sleeves, dice, and condition markers are valuable for players, and the nine booster packs yielded some great pulls, including Iono's Kilowattrel Illustration Rare, Articuno Illustration Rare, and a Veluza ex. While not as many rare cards as a Booster Box, the all-in-one nature and extra goodies make this a fantastic option for those seeking a blend of pack-opening fun and collectible items.
Journey Together Build & Battle Box
The Build & Battle Box provides a different experience. The pre-built 40-card deck allows immediate gameplay. My promo was Hop's Snorlax, a powerful card whose ability boosts all of Hop's Pokémon by 30 damage. The four included packs delivered Mamoswine ex and Swinub Illustration Rare, perfectly complementing the deck's theme. Fewer rare pulls than a Booster Box, but ideal for quick access to the new set's gameplay.
