On this page5 sections

A Pokémon TCG booster box holds 36 packs, a booster bundle 6, and an Elite Trainer Box 9 in Scarlet & Violet and Mega Evolution sets (8 in older ones). Everything else depends on the product, and for a few, on the set. Here’s the full list, and what a pack costs in Europe today.

Elite Trainer Boxes with more packs

These special sets’ Elite Trainer Boxes hold 10 packs, where the other ETBs of their series hold 8:

Celebrations (2021) has no single count: its Elite Trainer Box holds two different kinds of pack, so we show no price per pack for it.

Why tins and collections have no pack count

Tins, collection boxes, Ultra-Premium Collections and decks change from one product to the next. Tins hold booster packs and a promo card in a collectable metal case; mini tins hold fewer packs and a coin or art card. Rather than guess, we compare these on their own price and show no price per pack for them.

Blisters say their count in the name. A checklane blister that doesn’t say holds one pack in some sets and two in others, so it gets no price per pack either.

Where to buy

DexCompare puts European stores side by side: each one’s own listed price in EUR, excluding shipping, ranked by price and stock. Stores pay nothing to be listed, and commissions never change the order.
