The Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box is part of one of the later Scarlet & Violet special sets and revolves entirely around Pecharunt and the storyline from The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. The set is more compact than the regular main sets, but focuses strongly on thematics and special illustrations. The Pokémon Center variant is especially relevant for collectors.
