Rebel Clash Elite Trainer Box guide

What's inside the Rebel Clash Elite Trainer Box

The Rebel Clash Elite Trainer Box holds 8 booster packs plus card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers and a storage box, all themed to Rebel Clash.

Pokémon Center exclusive ETBs come with extra packs and a stamped promo and sell for more, so they are left out of the prices here.

About Rebel Clash

The second Sword & Shield set, with Dragapult VMAX and Toxtricity VMAX. Released on 1 May 2020, it belongs to the Sword & Shield era, when the collecting boom pushed print runs to record levels. It came out 6 years ago, so most sealed stock has been opened and what is left sits with collectors.

Rebel Clash has 192 cards in its main numbering, plus 17 secret rares numbered beyond it.

What collectors open Rebel Clash for

The Rebel Clash cards collectors most want to pull are Dragapult VMAX and Toxtricity VMAX. 8 packs is a modest number of tries, so most ETBs are bought to collect or keep sealed rather than to chase one card.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 17 Secret Rares, 18 Ultra Rares and 7 VMAX. Prices for every card are on the Rebel Clash set page.

Price per pack

At the typical price, each of the 8 packs in a Rebel Clash Elite Trainer Box works out at €46.73, compared with €15.46 in a Rebel Clash Booster Box and €30.16 in a Rebel Clash Booster Pack. That makes it the most expensive way to buy Rebel Clash packs right now, partly because you also pay for the accessories and the box itself.

Is the Rebel Clash Elite Trainer Box a good investment?

Older sealed product tends to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks, and Rebel Clash is now 6 years past release. Its price still depends on demand for its chase cards and on any reprints. ETBs are popular to keep sealed because of their box art, but they take more space than they hold in packs. Watch the price of Dragapult VMAX, the set's headline card, since sealed Rebel Clash tends to move with it.

None of this is financial advice: sealed prices can fall as well as rise. Our guide should you buy sealed Pokémon products? weighs up both sides.

Before you buy

Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on elite trainer boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it; baggy, shiny or uneven wrap is a common sign of a reseal. For a Rebel Clash Elite Trainer Box at around €373.87, ask the seller for photos of all sides and stick to accounts with plenty of positive feedback. Check the listing photos show the ETB itself and not only the packs, and that it is the standard version rather than a Pokémon Center one if you are comparing prices. Compare the total with delivery, not just the price, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
