⚡ Why the Pitch Black ETB Is the Definitive Way to Experience ME05

★ Exclusive Zarude Illustration Rare Promo — ETB Only

The full-art foil Zarude promo (Illustration Rare–style) is exclusive to the Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box — not available in any booster pack, Booster Bundle, or other Pitch Black product
Zarude is a Mythical Grass/Dark-type Pokémon from the Galar region — its Dark typing ties it thematically into Pitch Black's shadow-drenched aesthetic, making it a fitting and distinctive ETB promo
The Pokémon Center version upgrades this to a second stamped Zarude promo with the Pokémon Center logo — an additional exclusive for PC ETB collectors
ETB-exclusive Mythical Pokémon promos have historically attracted sustained collector interest well beyond the set's launch window

🌑 9 Packs — Your Best Shot at Mega Darkrai ex Across Every Rarity

With 9 packs — 50% more than the Booster Bundle's 6 — the ETB gives you the strongest single-product pull odds outside a full 36-pack display box
Mega Darkrai ex is the most anticipated Mega Evolution reveal since Mega Greninja ex, appearing across multiple rarities from Double Rare to SIR to the gold Mega Hyper Rare — and every one of your 9 packs has a shot at any of them
The compact 115+ card set means chase cards are less diluted per pack than larger sets — your 9 packs are statistically more likely to return high-rarity hits

⚡ 65 Darkrai-Themed Sleeves — Tournament Ready from Day One

The ETB's 65 Mega Darkrai ex–themed card sleeves are tournament-legal for all official Play! Pokémon events — enough for a full 60-card competitive deck with room for side board and double-sleeving
The Darkrai shadow-and-shadow aesthetic makes these among the most striking tournament sleeves in the Mega Evolution era
Combined with the 40 Energy cards, dice, and player's guide, the Pitch Black ETB has everything needed to sleeve up and compete immediately after the July 17 release

✦ Legends: Z-A DLC Mega Evolutions — Historic First-Time TCG Cards

Every Mega Evolution Pokémon ex in Pitch Black originates from the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A — canonical Mega Evolutions that exist only in the DLC and have never appeared in any previous Pokémon game
This makes Pitch Black the first TCG expansion to bring DLC-exclusive Mega Evolutions to the card game — a unique collector milestone in Pokémon TCG history
First-appearance cards from a new game or DLC regularly attract long-term appreciation as they mark a historically significant moment in a franchise's card history

🏆 Complete Competition-Ready Accessory Kit

65 tournament-legal Darkrai-themed sleeves + 40 Basic Energy cards — full deck-building materials ready from day one
6 damage-counter dice + competition-legal coin-flip die — all tools needed for official Play! Pokémon competitive events
Collector's box with 6 dividers — premium storage for your growing Pitch Black collection; a display piece in its own right
Player's guide — ME05-specific card highlights, strategic tips, and deck-building guidance to maximise your new cards immediately
