About the set
Paldean Fates is a Pokémon special Scarlet & Violet set released in January 2024. It is a shiny Pokémon set printed in the 'fates' style as a subset rather than a main expansion. Special sets skip the booster box, so Elite Trainer Boxes, tins and the Premium Collection are the sealed product that shows up at retail.
Collectors open Paldean Fates for its special illustration rares, led by Mew ex at $872.64, Charizard ex at $258.49 and Gardevoir ex at $165.97. Shiny rares include Pikachu at $73.60, Snorlax at $50.35 and Mimikyu at $49.97.
The Elite Trainer Box holds 9 booster packs, a full-art promo card, 65 card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers and a storage box. The Premium Collection holds promo cards, an oversized card and booster packs, while tins and collection boxes hold promo-card boxes with 4–8 packs and the packs inside are the same as loose retail packs. The Three-Booster Blister holds 3 booster packs and a foil promo card on a card-backed blister; the Elite Trainer Box suits a collector who wants sleeves and storage, and the tins, collection boxes and blisters suit someone opening packs.
