Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box

Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box guide

What's inside the Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box

Inside a sealed Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box you get 9 booster packs plus card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers and a storage box. The packs are all Temporal Forces.

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 Temporal Forces

Brought back ACE SPEC cards and featured Walking Wake ex and Iron Leaves ex. Released on 22 March 2024, it belongs to the Scarlet & Violet era. Shops have mostly moved on to newer sets, so sealed stock now comes mainly from resellers.

Temporal Forces has 162 cards in its main numbering, plus 56 secret rares numbered beyond it.

Chase cards to look for

The Temporal Forces cards collectors most want to pull are Walking Wake ex and Iron Leaves ex. 9 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 6 Hyper Rares, 10 Special Illustration Rares and 22 Illustration Rares. See every Temporal Forces card price for what each is worth.

Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box price today

These are live asking prices, not completed sales, so a good offer is usually close to the cheapest listing rather than the typical one.

That makes it mid-priced among Temporal Forces sealed products.

Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box as an investment

Temporal Forces is out of its main print run, the stage where sealed prices often start to move, but modern sets are printed in large numbers and can be reprinted. ETBs are popular to keep sealed because of their box art, but they take more space than they hold in packs. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Walking Wake ex and Iron Leaves ex: if those cards rise, unopened product usually follows.

Only buy a Temporal Forces Elite Trainer 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

Check the shrink wrap: factory wrap on elite trainer boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it, and loose or glossy wrap can mean a resealed product. At €162.92 it is worth asking for photos of every side and buying from sellers with a long, positive history, since resealed and weighed product is common. 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. Always compare totals with delivery included, and keep sealed product away from sunlight, heat and damp once it arrives.
