Why they'll love it
This is the box that turns a gift into an unboxing moment: nine booster packs, a full-art Nidorina promo card and everything a new trainer needs to start playing. Every pack carries foil cards, including one of 30 unique Pikachu illustrations, so even the first pack feels like a celebration. The sturdy box with dividers keeps the whole collection tidy afterward.

- Each booster pack holds five foil cards (one of 30 unique Pikachu illustrations) plus one foil Basic Energy.
- The sturdy box has six dividers for storing cards; the Pokémon Center version has 11 packs and two Nidorina promos.
