Face the Darkness with the Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box

The Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box is the definitive collector’s package for the fifth English Mega Evolution expansion. Twinkling city lights are swallowed by shadow as Mega Darkrai ex descends with mystery and malice. However, a thunderous response arrives in the form of Mega Zeraora ex, rallying Mega Chandelure ex and Mega Excadrill ex to push back against the nightmare. This ETB provides everything you need to dive into one of the most anticipated Pokémon TCG releases of 2026, hitting South African shelves on 17 July 2026. You can read the full set reveal on PokéBeach.

What’s Inside the Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box?

Inside this premium box you will find nine booster packs from the Pitch Black expansion, giving you 90 cards worth of chances to pull Mega Evolution ex and Special Illustration Rares. The star of the box is the exclusive full-art foil Zarude Illustration Rare promo card — a Mythical Pokémon promo only available in this format. To keep your new pulls safe, the box also contains 65 themed card sleeves, 45 basic Energy cards, six damage-counter dice, a competition-legal coin-flip die, and a collector’s coin. A player’s guide rounds out the contents, giving you a full overview of the Pitch Black set list and new meta-game strategies.
