What is a V box?

Pokemon TCG (Trading Card Game) added the V and VMAX variants with the introduction of the Sword and Shield set in February of 2020. Now, what exactly is a V Box? Some Pokemons have their special V boxes known as promo boxes which come with an extra-large or jumbo card of the Pokemon. It doesn’t have any special advantages in the trading card game itself but it is a pretty cool collectible and perfect for you if you are into that. I will give you more details about everything that is in the V box below so sit tight!

What is in a V Box?

Pokemon V was introduced with the expansion of Sword and Shield into the trading card world. With it comes Pokemons from the Galar region and super strong Pokemon V.

Some Pokemon V have their promo boxes known as V Boxes. Normally a V box contains the following :

1 foil card of the pokemon. 1 foil jumbo card of the pokemonA code for the online Pokemon TCG4 booster packs of the trading card game

How much do V boxes cost?

Pokemon V Boxes sell for $19.99 on the official Pokemon website but depending on where you buy them from the price may differ.

Personally, $19.99 is a good price for these boxes considering the number of cards they contain plus the special jumbo card. Especially because the V cards are super rare! The chances of getting them in normal booster packs are not high.

How does V Cards work?

You can find this rule on the cards themselves but if your V card gets knocked out the opponent has to take 2 prize cards instead of the regular 1. The V cards have more HP than the normal cards and they are a lot more powerful than regular cards and have a better set of abilities and move sets as well. 

New V Box releases

As of right now, there are no news or release dates for new Pokemon V boxes but don’t worry there is still some stuff you can be excited about. Pokemon officially announced that there are going to be Pokemon Go cards in the TCG!! They are set to launch on July 1st, 2022. 

You can find them in Tins, Mini Tins, Collections, Special Collections, Battle Decks, Trainer Boxes, and more!

Are V Boxes worth it?

They are worth it if you are into the Pokemon TCG or just like collecting cool Pokemon stuff. The giant cards are for sure some pretty sick collectables to have. Buying all 10 V Boxes will cost you around $200. So buying all of them might not be for everyone but if you want a V Box or two just as a collectable I would recommend the Dragonite V Box, the Pikachu V Box, the Alakazam V Box, or the Boltund V Box. 

Due to the craze of the Pokemon TCG and Pokemon fans in general, Pokemon are always putting new stuff out so keep your eyes on their website.

A Little Recap

Pokemon V Boxes are from the Sword and Shield collection introduced in Feb 2022. So far there are 10 V Boxes that you can get each with their promo Pokemons the Pokemon V. V Boxes are $19.99 on the official Pokemon website but some of them are sold out right now but you might be able to get them through a retailer. Are V Boxes worth it? Pokemon V cards are pretty rare to get out of boost packs and that is why I would say that they are worth it if you love Pokemon and Pokemon TCG. 

That is all for me. I hope you learned a thing or two about Pokemon V Boxes or found what you were looking for. Now, what are you waiting for? Go go go! You gotta catch ’em all…
