Mega Evolution has been dominating the Pokémon TCG landscape, with stock levels looking better than ever. Phantasmal Flames is doing the same, with single cards becoming more affordable just days after release. It looks like Pokémon TCG is actually upping print runs.

The same applies for the Scarlet and Violet era, with the Black Bolt Elite Trainer Box still available and now at market value when compared to TCGplayer. That's $89.48, which is nowhere near MSRP and an unfortunate result of Pokémania 2025. But if you apply and get accepted for an Amazon Visa card, the price plummets to $29.48 thanks to an instant $60 gift card credited to your accounts.
