✅ What’s inside the box

• Each factory‑sealed booster box contains 30 packs, and each pack contains 5 cards. 

• The expansion is the Japanese SV9a (ヒートウェーブアリーナ) set, released on March 14, 2025. 

• When you open a box, you can expect a solid mix of hits: multiple Double Rares (DRs), Art Rares (ARs), and–importantly–at least one Secret Rare (SR) or better. (While guaranteed pulls may vary, many collectors count on seeing 3 ARs + 1 SR/UR per box.) 

🎯 Top Hits & Favorites from the Set

This set spotlights the “Trainer’s Pokémon” style cards (Pokémon paired with a Trainer) and brings back familiar faces in fresh and powerful ways. Here are some of the must‑pull cards:

• Cynthia’s Garchomp ex – This epic combo of Cynthia + Garchomp is a major draw, and the card is a flagship for the set. 

• Ethan’s Ho‑Oh ex – A stunning and powerful Fire‑type variant tied to Trainer Ethan, making it one of the premium chase cards. 

• Arven’s Mabosstiff ex – Dark‑type Trainer’s Pokémon featuring Arven, adding synergy and cool artwork for both collectors and deck‑builders. 

• Misty’s Gyarados – While not an “ex” card in all cases, Misty’s Gyarados in this set brings nostalgia and strong competitive potential. 

• Ethan’s Typhlosion ex – A Fire‑type evolution card tied to Ethan that has generated buzz for its powerful effects and artwork. 

• Trainer & Supporter cards – Cards like Ethan’s Adventure and Cynthia’s Power Weight bring strong strategic value and are also hot picks for collectors. 

🎉 Why this box is worth it

• The artwork is vibrant and features dramatic “arena” scenes that emphasize the Trainer + Pokémon bond—perfect for display.

• For players, the synergy between Trainer’s Pokémon cards and their respective Trainers opens interesting deck‑building paths.

• For collectors, this Japanese set is early in the translation cycle for the English version (Destined Rivals), which can make it a higher‑value chase item now. 

• The “sealed box” format means you’re buying an entire set of packs and the thrill of the unknown—great for ripping live, gifting, or building a set.
