Sun & Moon Booster Box guide

What's inside the Sun & Moon Booster Box

A sealed Sun & Moon Booster Box holds 36 sealed booster packs from Sun & Moon, the full display a shop would open to sell packs one by one.

About Sun & Moon

Opened the Sun & Moon series and introduced Pokémon-GX, led by Solgaleo-GX and Lunala-GX. Released on 3 February 2017, it belongs to the Sun & Moon era. It came out 9 years ago, so most sealed stock has been opened and what is left sits with collectors.

Sun & Moon has 149 cards in its main numbering, plus 23 secret rares numbered beyond it.

What collectors open Sun & Moon for

The Sun & Moon cards collectors most want to pull are Solgaleo-GX and Lunala-GX. With 36 packs, a box gives you the most chances at them of any sealed product, though no box is guaranteed to hold any one card.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 14 Secret Rares, 23 Ultra Rares and 33 Rares. Prices for every card are on the Sun & Moon set page.

Is the Sun & Moon Booster Box a good investment?

Older sealed product tends to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks, and Sun & Moon is now 9 years past release. Its price still depends on demand for its chase cards and on any reprints. Booster boxes are the sealed product most collectors hold long term, as they are easy to store and to value. Watch the price of Solgaleo-GX, the set's headline card, since sealed Sun & Moon tends to move with it.

Only buy a Sun & Moon Booster Box to hold if you are happy to keep it either way, as prices can fall too. This is not financial advice; see should you buy sealed Pokémon products?

Before you buy

Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on booster 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 Sun & Moon Booster Box at around €1,157, ask the seller for photos of all sides and stick to accounts with plenty of positive feedback. A full box gives better odds than loose packs, and its value as a sealed item is easier to judge (how to value a sealed booster box). Always compare totals with delivery included, and keep sealed product away from sunlight, heat and damp once it arrives.
