Japanese Pokémon booster boxes are the first place new cards land, months before the English sets. Im Your Wardrobe now carries a wide run of sealed Japanese Pokémon boxes, from the newest MEGA series sets like Storm Emeralda and Abyss Eye to fan-favourite High Class Packs such as MEGA Dream ex and Shiny Treasure ex, all authentic with tracked NZ delivery.
Japanese Pokémon boxes: key facts
| Box type | Packs per box | Cards per pack |
|---|---|---|
| Standard booster box (e.g. Storm Emeralda M6) | 30 | 5 |
| High Class Pack box (e.g. MEGA Dream ex M2a) | 10 | 10 |
Why collectors buy Japanese Pokémon
Japanese sets release first, so a Japanese box is the earliest way to open new cards. Collectors also rate the Japanese print quality and card stock, and the smaller 5-card packs make for a longer opening. Standard boxes come with 30 packs, while High Class Packs pack 10 cards into each of their 10 packs, with at least one Pokémon ex or Mega Evolution Pokémon ex in every MEGA Dream ex pack.
The MEGA series: our newest Japanese sets
The MEGA series brought Mega Evolution back to the card game. These are the MEGA sets we have in stock:
- Storm Emeralda (M6): the sixth MEGA set, released in Japan on 31 July 2026, with Mega Rayquaza ex at its centre.
- Abyss Eye (M5): the set before Storm Emeralda, and our best-stocked Japanese box right now.
- Ninja Spinner (M4): down to the last box.
- Inferno X (M2)
- Mega Brave (M1L): the set that started the MEGA era.
High Class Packs
High Class Packs are premium Japanese sets packed with ex cards and special art, and they are some of the most collected Japanese products. We have:
- MEGA Dream ex (M2a): released in Japan on 28 November 2025, with a 250-card set list.
- Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a)
- VSTAR Universe (S12a): a Sword & Shield era favourite.
Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield era boxes
For older sets, we stock Glory of Team Rocket, Wild Force, Ancient Roar, Scarlet ex and Paradigm Trigger. Several of these are down to one or two boxes.
New to Japanese cards? The Pokémon 100 Starter Deck 2025 is an easy entry point: each box holds one ready-to-play deck from a range of 100.
Which Japanese Pokémon box should you buy?
- Most packs to open: any standard 30-pack box, such as Storm Emeralda or Abyss Eye.
- Chasing big hits: a High Class Pack like MEGA Dream ex or Shiny Treasure ex.
- Collecting sealed: older sets like VSTAR Universe and Glory of Team Rocket are getting harder to find.
