Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle (2025): Contents and MSRP
By Dexhaul Team · October 12, 2026 · 5 min read
The Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle contains 6 booster packs.
Each pack holds 10 cards from the ME02 card pool, released November 14, 2025 as part of the Phantasmal Flames set alongside the Elite Trainer Box, Booster Box, and individual packs. The bundle includes no promo card and no accessories.
For collectors who want to open ME02 packs without the accessories kit that comes with the ETB, the bundle is the only sealed ME02 format that delivers pure pack volume at a mid-range unit cost. Here is everything confirmed about its contents, observed secondary market prices, and how it fits into the full Phantasmal Flames lineup.
What's Inside the Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle
The contents are straightforward: six packs, no extras.
| Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Phantasmal Flames booster packs | 6 | 10 cards per pack; Regulation Mark I |
| Promo card | 0 | Not included |
| Accessories (sleeves, dice, coin, energy cards) | 0 | Not included |
| Total cards | 60 | Across all six packs |
The bundle is the only sealed ME02 format that provides packs without attaching a promo card or accessories. The Elite Trainer Box packs a Charcadet full-art foil promo alongside its nine packs, plus 65 card sleeves, dice, a coin, and energy cards. The bundle strips all of that out.
That distinction matters for collectors who already own ME02 sleeves or simply want the pack experience without paying for extras they do not need. The Phantasmal Flames ETB (2025): Contents and MSRP page has the full ETB contents breakdown if you want to compare accessory value.

MSRP and Price per Pack
TPCi did not publish an official MSRP for the Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle. The table below uses observed secondary market prices from October 12, 2026.
| Format | Packs | MSRP | Observed price | Per pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Bundle | 6 | Not announced | ~$84.99 | ~$14.17 |
| Elite Trainer Box | 9 + promo | Not announced | ~$154.99 | ~$17.22 |
| Booster Box | 36 | Not announced | ~$390.00 | ~$10.83 |
One data point stands out here: at current secondary market prices, the six-pack bundle has a higher per-pack cost (~$14.17) than the 36-pack booster box (~$10.83). That is the opposite of the usual pattern, where smaller sealed formats tend to carry a per-unit premium over the full box.
The gap reflects that bundle demand is driven by the lower absolute price rather than per-pack efficiency. Collectors focused on pack volume per dollar will find the booster box the stronger choice.
The ETB's per-pack figure (~$17.22) is highest partly because nine packs carry a promo card and a full accessories kit. Comparing the ETB and the bundle on a pure pack-per-dollar basis understates the ETB's value, since it bundles more than just packs.
How It Compares: Bundle vs. ETB
The Phantasmal Flames ME02 buyers guide covers all formats in depth. This table focuses on the two most commonly compared products.
| Feature | Booster Bundle | Elite Trainer Box |
|---|---|---|
| Booster packs | 6 | 9 |
| Promo card | None | Charcadet full-art foil |
| Card sleeves | None | 65 sleeves |
| Accessories | None | Dice, coin, energy cards, guide |
| Observed price (Oct 12, 2026) | ~$84.99 | ~$154.99 |
| Per pack at observed price | ~$14.17 | ~$17.22 |
The bundle costs less in absolute terms and less per pack. The ETB costs more but includes a promo card that is not available in any other ME02 product. Neither format carries a manufacturer-listed MSRP.
Release Timeline
All ME02 products launched on the same date.
| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| November 14, 2025 | Full ME02 launch: Booster Bundle, Elite Trainer Box, Booster Box, individual packs, and other formats released simultaneously | Official Pokémon product showcase |
The simultaneous multi-format launch means there was no staggered window where one format released before another. All ME02 products, including the bundle, were available from the same date at launch retailers.
Who It's For, and Who Should Skip It
Pack-focused collectors who already own accessories
If you own ME02 sleeves from a previous purchase and want additional packs without duplicating accessories, the bundle is the right format. You pay for packs only, not for a promo card or extras you have already covered.
Six packs is also a contained opening session. It is more than a 3-pack blister but does not require the scale commitment of a full 36-pack box.
Skip it if the Charcadet promo is part of your collection target
The full-art foil Charcadet promo card is exclusive to the Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box. No other ME02 sealed product includes it. If that promo is a collection target, the ETB is the only path to it sealed.
Skip it if pack-per-dollar efficiency matters most
At October 2026 observed prices, the booster box offers 36 packs at roughly $10.83 each. The bundle's ~$14.17 per pack is a meaningful premium over the box rate. For collectors opening a significant volume of ME02 product, the booster box is the more efficient route.
