Pokémon: Pitch Black Pokémon Center Exclusive Elite Trainer Box (ETB)

Delve into darkness with the Pokémon: Pitch Black Pokémon Center Exclusive Elite Trainer Box (ETB), the premium collector edition of the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Pitch Black expansion.

Twinkling city lights and a star-filled sky disappear beneath a growing darkness as the mysterious Mega Darkrai ex emerges with malicious power. Standing against it is Mega Zeraora ex, striking back with bolts of lightning while Mega Chandelure ex, Mega Excadrill ex, and other powerful Mega Evolution Pokémon join the battle.

Available exclusively through Pokémon Center, this upgraded Elite Trainer Box includes 11 Pitch Black booster packs, premium gameplay accessories, and two full-art foil Zarude promo cards. One of the promos features the highly collectible Pokémon Center logo stamp, making it unavailable in the standard Elite Trainer Box.

Whether you're chasing the expansion's biggest cards, collecting Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, or adding another Pokémon Center Exclusive ETB to your sealed display, the Pitch Black Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box is one of the standout products from the Mega Evolution era.
