The Story

Darkrai fans and Mega Evolution collectors, this one is for you. The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box (ME05) is one of the most atmospheric releases in recent Pokémon TCG history, leaning hard into shadow-type aesthetics with Mega Darkrai ex as the flagship card. If you've been building a dark-type collection or chasing Mega Evolution ex hits, this set deserves a spot in your preorder queue.

Pitch Black is the fifth entry in the Mega Evolution series, and it follows the same collector-friendly ETB format fans have come to expect — nine booster packs to crack alongside a full suite of gameplay accessories. The set roster spotlights Mega Darkrai ex, Mega Zeraora ex, Mega Chandelure ex, and Mega Excadrill ex, giving both competitive players and thematic collectors strong pull targets across multiple type matchups. The exclusive full-art foil promo card featuring Zarude is an ETB-only pull, making this box especially appealing to Zarude collectors who don't want to hunt the secondary market.

This listing is factory sealed — the box arrives in original, unaltered manufacturer packaging, exactly as it leaves the Pokemon Company production line. We inspect every sealed product before it ships to confirm packaging integrity. As a preorder, your copy is reserved at today's price with no risk of missing out if allocation runs short. Quantities are limited to one per customer, consistent with Pokemon's own Max 1 purchase policy on this release.

The storage box with six dividers doubles as long-term collection organization once the packs are opened — a detail veteran ETB buyers will appreciate. The included player's guide is a useful reference for navigating the Pitch Black card pool when building new decks around the Mega Evolution mechanic. The 65 card sleeves are tournament-legal and carry the set's dark aesthetic, making them a functional keepsake beyond pack-opening day.

Whether you're a competitive grinder looking to build around the new Mega ex cards, a set collector working through the full Mega Evolution run, or a Darkrai devotee who simply needs this box on the shelf — the Pitch Black ETB checks every box. Returns are accepted on factory sealed product in original, unopened condition per Jay's Toys store policy. Preorder yours now before allocation closes.

How Do We Pack Orders?

Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.

Are You Actually Collectors Too?

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎

What's Your Return Policy?

30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose.

We’ll hold the order until everything’s here (pro tip: split ‘em). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.
