The Journey Together Elite Trainer Box is one of the later Scarlet & Violet releases and brings a much-loved concept back to the Pokémon TCG: Trainer's Pokémon. Pokémon once again fight side by side with their trainers, a mechanic many collectors still remember from older sets such as Gym Heroes and Gym Challenge. That is why Journey Together drew a lot of attention straight away.
When was the Journey Together ETB released?
The Scarlet & Violet – Journey Together set was officially released on 28 March 2025. The Elite Trainer Boxes appeared on the same date. Journey Together is a regular main set within the Scarlet & Violet era.
Which variants are there?
There is one standard Journey Together Elite Trainer Box, with N's Zorua as the central artwork.
On top of that there is also a Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box variant, available exclusively through Pokémon Center.
Contents of the standard Journey Together ETB
The standard Journey Together ETB contains:
- 9x Journey Together booster packs
- 1x Full Art N's Zorua promo card
- 65x sleeves with N's Zorua design
- 45x Pokémon TCG Energy cards
- Game accessories (dice, damage counters, coin-flip die)
- Player's guide for the Journey Together set
- Storage box with dividers
- Code card for Pokémon TCG Live
The promo card is exclusive to the ETB and fits the Trainer's Pokémon theme of the set perfectly.
Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box – why is it interesting?
Alongside the standard ETB, a Pokémon Center Exclusive Elite Trainer Box was released as well.
Extras in the Pokémon Center ETB:
- 11x Journey Together booster packs (instead of 9x)
- Exclusive Pokémon Center-stamped N's Zorua promo card
- Limited availability through Pokémon Center
The promo card as the value anchor
The Pokémon Center-stamped N's Zorua is the biggest reason collectors are after this ETB. The card is:
- Only available through the Pokémon Center ETB
- Based on one of the most popular trainers in the Pokémon franchise
- Popular with both N and Zorua collectors
- Regularly submitted to PSA
Indicative market values:
- Raw: €70 – €80
- PSA 10: €330 – €400
The exclusive stamp makes this card considerably more sought-after than the standard ETB promo.
Price development since release
Since its release in March 2025, the Journey Together Elite Trainer Box has seen strong price development:
-
Standard Journey Together ETB
→ Up roughly x2 since release
-
Pokémon Center Journey Together ETB
→ Up roughly x1.8 since release
What stands out is that the standard ETB has performed slightly better so far than the Pokémon Center variant. Although the Pokémon Center ETB contains exclusive extras, it is the regular ETB that has shown the biggest increase in value since release.
