If you’ve been keeping tabs on Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet’s Destined Rivals expansion, now’s the time to act. Amazon UK has launched invite-only requests for the Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box, along with making it available for just £44.99 — 50% down from its current market price of £89.99.
This follows Amazon UK’s ongoing effort to level the playing field for Pokémon fans. Previously, invite systems were introduced for sets like 151 and Prismatic Evolutions, helping to sidestep the scalper-fueled frenzy that’s made collecting these cards increasingly difficult.
The invite system doesn’t guarantee a purchase, but it does mean you don’t have to constantly refresh pages or pay inflated third-party prices just to get a fair shot.
The Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box is packed with value that makes the effort worthwhile. Inside, you’ll find nine booster packs from the expansion, each containing 10 game cards and a Basic Energy.
A full-art foil promo card featuring Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet headlines the exclusive contents, tapping into the expansion’s narrative focus on the return of Team Rocket. Alongside the boosters, you’ll get 65 themed card sleeves, 45 Energy cards, a set of damage-counter dice, two plastic condition markers, and a competition-legal coin-flip die.
The set also includes a collector’s box designed to keep your growing stash of cards organised. It also comes with four internal dividers, a player’s guide to help you navigate the Destined Rivals expansion, and a code card for Pokemon TCG Live.
Between the gameplay tools, promo card, and themed design, this Trainer Box follows the appeal of those from past sets to offer both style and substance. So, it’s ideal for seasoned battlers and collectors alike.
To request an invite, simply visit the product page on Amazon UK and click the “Request Invite” button. If selected, Amazon will email you a link that’s valid for 72 hours, giving you a private window to make your purchase. Once your invite is submitted, it remains active for up to 12 months and will still apply for any future restocks. There’s no need to re-request.
Amazon’s Pokemon TCG invites don’t stop with the Elite Trainer Box, either. Other items currently available via request include extra products in the Destined Rivals set and beyond — including the Prismatic Evolutions Accessory Pouch Special Collection (£29.99), the Kanghaskhan-featured Destined Rivals 3-Pack Blister (£12.99), Destined Rivals Booster Bundle (£23.94), the 151 Booster Bundle (£17.96), and the Prismatic Evolutions Super-Premium Collection (£89.99).
As stock shortages persist across the TCG space, Amazon’s lottery-style system may not be perfect, but it’s a better alternative than bots scooping up inventory in seconds. For those chasing Destined Rivals or building out their Team Rocket-themed decks, this invite could be your best shot at a fair-priced, fully loaded box.
