Pokémon GO Elite Trainer Box: Contents and MSRP (2022)
By Dexhaul Team · October 4, 2026
The Pokémon GO Elite Trainer Box contains 10 booster packs from the July 2022 Pokémon GO expansion (set code: PGO), a foil Mewtwo V promo card exclusive to the product, and a full TCG accessory kit. Original MSRP at launch was $49.99. The set is retired and no longer in print, so every unit available today comes from secondary market sellers.
A Pokémon Center exclusive variant, the ETB Plus, released alongside it with 12 packs and an alternate-art Mewtwo V promo. Both are documented below.
Here is the full breakdown.
What's inside the standard Pokémon GO ETB
The contents listed here match the official Pokémon TCG page for the Pokémon GO expansion. The product ships as a single sealed box; nothing is available separately.
| Item | Qty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon GO Booster Packs | 10 | 10 cards each from the 88-card PGO set |
| Mewtwo V Foil Promo Card | 1 | Exclusive to this product; not in booster packs |
| Special Energy Cards | 45 | Pokémon GO-themed energy in three team color designs |
| Card Sleeves | 65 | Mewtwo artwork |
| Damage-Counter Dice | 1 set | Standard six-sided dice |
| Condition Markers | 1 set | Status conditions (Burn, Paralysis, etc.) |
| Coin Flip Die | 1 | Custom Mewtwo design |
| Player's Guide | 1 | Set overview booklet |
| Code Card (TCG Live) | 1 | Digital packs for Pokémon TCG Live |
The 45 special energy cards are a standout feature. They come split across the three Pokémon GO team colors: Team Mystic (blue), Team Valor (red), and Team Instinct (yellow). While they function as basic energy in gameplay, the GO-specific artwork makes them popular with collectors building themed decks or display cases.
MSRP and price per pack
At the July 2022 launch, the standard ETB had a $49.99 MSRP, matching the then-standard price for Sword and Shield era Elite Trainer Boxes. That works out to $5.00 per pack. The set is retired, so current prices reflect what secondary market sellers charge for 2022 sealed stock.
| Version | Packs | Launch MSRP | MSRP per pack | Observed floor (Oct 4, 2026) | Observed per pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard ETB | 10 | $49.99 | $5.00 | from $169.99 | from $17.00 |
| ETB Plus (PC exclusive) | 12 | Pokémon Center exclusive | n/a | from $244.99 | from $20.42 |
At $17.00 per pack at the secondary market floor, the GO ETB is more expensive per pack than most current-era booster bundles at MSRP. Buyers who want Pokémon GO cards for play should weigh that gap carefully. The main draw today is the sealed collectibility and the exclusive Mewtwo V promo card.
The ETB Plus: what the Pokémon Center exclusive adds
The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box Plus was sold exclusively through Pokémon Center during the set's active window and is no longer stocked there. It added two booster packs (12 total) and replaced the standard Mewtwo V foil with an alternate-art, full-art Mewtwo V promo card numbered 065 in the expansion's extended numbering.
That alternate-art promo is the single biggest reason collectors seek the Plus over the standard ETB. The card does not appear in any booster pack and has never been reprinted. If the full-art Mewtwo V is what you want, the Plus is the only sealed source.
How it compares to nearby sets
The GO set sits between Astral Radiance and Lost Origin in the Sword and Shield era. For context on how its ETB stacks up, here is a quick comparison using the packs-per-box and original MSRP figures (all sourced from Serebii and manufacturer listings).
| Product | Packs in ETB | Launch MSRP | Promo card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pokémon GO ETB | 10 | $49.99 | Mewtwo V foil |
| Pokémon GO ETB Plus | 12 | Pokémon Center exclusive | Alternate-art Mewtwo V |
| Astral Radiance ETB | 8 | $49.99 | Hisuian Decidueye V |
| Typical current-era ETB | 9 | $49.99–$59.99 | varies |
The GO ETB stands out for its 10-pack count, which was above average for the era. That extra pack over Astral Radiance was the clearest value argument at launch.

Release timeline
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| June 17, 2022 | Japanese release (s10b) | Japanese equivalent of the set; same name |
| July 1, 2022 | English release (PGO) | US, EU, and other English markets |
| Late 2022 | Set retired from print | No longer restocked at authorized retailers |
The set was a special expansion, not a main-series numbered release. It bridged the gap between Astral Radiance (May 2022) and Lost Origin (September 2022). Because it was planned as a limited run tied to the Pokémon GO mobile game's sixth anniversary, The Pokémon Company never restocked it after the initial print run sold through.
Who should buy the Pokémon GO ETB, and who should skip it
Buy it if you collect GO or Mewtwo
The Mewtwo V promo is exclusive to this product and has not been reprinted. If you are building a Mewtwo collection, the GO ETB is the only sealed source for that card. The same applies to Pokémon GO mobile game fans who want a physical TCG memento from that era.
Consider the Plus if the alternate promo matters
The ETB Plus costs roughly $75 more at the current observed floor. The only functional addition is two extra packs and the alternate-art Mewtwo V 065 promo.
If that card is your target, the Plus is the direct path. If it is not, the standard ETB saves you money.
Skip it if you want current set value
At $17.00 per pack at the secondary market floor, the GO ETB does not compare favorably to a current-era booster bundle at MSRP.
The math does not favor the GO ETB for pack opening.
For opening packs, a newer set gives you more cards per dollar. The GO ETB's case rests on sealed collectibility, not pack value.

Are the Pokémon GO energy cards legal in competitive play?
Standard energy cards from retired sets remain legal as long as the card has been reprinted in a Standard-legal set.
