The new round of Pokémon’s Paradox Rift full art spoilers has some of the most beautiful cards you’re going to want to chase

We just got some more spoilers for the upcoming Paradox Rift set, and it is hard not to be excited. Especially when you see the alt art cards. This round of spoilers is full of cards you are going to want in your binder. Hopefully, the pull rates are better than 151. Paradox Rift releases on November 3rd. I’ll leave links below on where you can preorder if your LGS isn’t an option. Please use my affiliate links where possible. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.



Where to Buy

If you’d like to preorder any Paradox Rift product, always check with your LGS, but I’ve collected a few options in case that isn’t an option. Use my TCG Player affiliate links when possible. Everything is in stock as of making this post, but I’ll do my best to keep them updated. And remember, with how much Pokémon overprints, it is never a good idea to pay scalper prices, especially on preorders.

Elite Trainer Boxes: Random ($49.99)

Elite Trainer Box: Roaring Moon ($39)

Elite Trainer Box: Iron Valian ($39)

Elite Trainer Box [set of 2] ($78)

6 Pack Bundle ($26.94)

Blister Pack ($13.99)

Build and Battle Stadium ($59.99)

Pokémon Paradox Rift product and where to preorder

Pokémon Paradox Rift releases on November 11, and it is bringing in some cool cards and mechanics that are sure to shake up the meta. Always support your LGS, but I’ve collected links in case that isn’t possible. Please use my affiliate links where possible. And remember, never pay the scalpers!

If you enjoy these updates, don’t forget to like, comment, follow, share this with your friends.


Random Paradox Rift Elite Trainer Box

This set will have two elite trainer boxes: Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant. There will also be two promos for these kits: Screaming Tail and Iron Bundle. I don’t know how these will be distributed. I’m assuming each promo is exclusive to one box to incentivize people to purchase both, but we will have to see. The only other difference is what art you want on the box, coin, sleeves, and dice. If you don’t care about which box you get, then you should place your preorder at Best Buy or Game Stop.

Roaring Moon ETB ($39)

Now if you care about what ETB you get, you’re going to have to hit up your LGS, or trusted retailer. I am going to be a little shameless and plug TCG Player because I am an affiliate. I’ve bought a lot of products through them in the past and have never had an issue. I’ve found ETBs as cheap as $39 from trusted, high-rated sellers, but use your own discretion. If you are looking for a Roaring Moon ETB, grab it using my affiliate link!

Iron Valiant ETB ($39)

If you are looking for the Iron Valiant ETB, grab it over at TCG Player through my affiliate link.

Roaring Moon & Iron Valiant Bundle ($78)

Now if you want both, you can save a little cash on a bundle. TCG Player has a few sellers selling the ETB Bundle for a reasonable price, make sure you use my affiliate link.

6 Pack Bundle ($26.94)

Now if you just want packs and don’t care about the sleeves and other extras, the 6 pack isn’t a bad deal. You’re missing out on the promo, but that doesn’t matter if you are only wanting to crack packs. You can pick up the bundles at Best Buy, Game Stop, and the Pokémon Center. I have seen them as cheap as $23 on TCG Player. Use my affiliate link!

3 PK Blister Packs ($13.99)

These bundles are fine if you want the special promos included. You are paying a few cents extra for the promo which isn’t a huge deal. As far as I can tell, the blister packs are only exclusive to Best Buy for preorder, but that might change on release. You are getting a random bundle like the ETBs, but that isn’t as big of a deal in this case.

Build and Battle Stadium ($59.99)

Boxes include:

  • 2 individual Build & Battle Boxes, each containing a ready-to-play 40-card deck
  • Each deck includes 1 of 4 foil promo cards
  • 3 additional Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift booster packs, so you get 11 in all
  • 121 Basic Energy cards
  • 6 damage-counter dice
  • 1 competition-legal coin-flip die
  • 2 coin condition markers
  • A collector’s box to hold everything

Now these are arguably the worst deal unless you like the sealed draft, prerelease experience. This is a fun kit to buy if you and your buddies buy into a couple, and make a day of it. These kits release on November 17, and you can preorder them at Gamestop. I found them as cheap as $53 on TCG Player. Use my Affiliate Link!

Booster Box ($107)

Booster boxes are always the best deal if you just want to crack open boxes. I love buying booster boxes, but I just like to crack them for fun. I never intend to make any money buying these. If you are looking for a Paradox Rift Booster box, the best deals are over at TCG Player. Use my affiliate link!
