  • 8 SR Pokémon ex
  • 3 SR Supporter
  • 6 SAR Pokémon ex
  • 3 UR
AR/SR/SAR/UR

  • ? = speculation

“Journey Together” Enhanced Booster Box Availability in the Americas and Europe - Pokébeach

US

Only the Enhanced Booster Box will be available in the Americas. This is whether you purchase a booster box from GameStop, Best Buy, an LGS, the U.S. and Canadian Pokemon Centers, or a distributor. It is the only version of the box listed on the set’s official sell sheet.

Europe

Europe has their own printing plants and has decided to do things differently. In European countries, there will be two Journey Together booster boxes available: a regular booster box without the promo and the Enhanced Booster Box. The set’s official sell sheet lists both versions.

The Enhanced Booster Box will only be available at select retailers. So far, this includes Play! Pokemon stores that run Pokemon Leagues and the UK’s Pokemon Center website.

UK

In the UK, Play! Pokemon stores holding prerelease events will receive two cases of the enhanced versions. If you’re a store who has been purchasing major Pokemon releases from distributors over the last year, you’ll receive one case. Otherwise, your orders will be fulfilled with the regular version. This means the majority of boxes available at Play! Pokemon stores will only be the regular version.

I like them! It’s cool that they try something different, full arts imo still have a place in sets and this is a nice way to make them more fresh again
