What’s inside the Japanese Heat Wave Arena Booster Box

• 30 sealed Japanese Heat Wave Arena booster packs
• 5 cards per pack, 150 cards per box
• Packaging options: Shrink or No Shrink

Trainer’s Pokémon in the arena

Ethan’s Ho-Oh ex and Cynthia’s Garchomp ex are the headline cards, each with special art and ultra rare versions, according to the Bulbapedia Hot Wind Arena entry. Arven’s Mabosstiff ex and Yanmega ex also have special art rares, while Electivire ex and Dondozo ex add more ex cards. The set is a natural follow-on from Battle Partners, which began the return of Trainer’s Pokémon seven weeks earlier, and its cards were later included in the English Destined Rivals expansion.

Who the Japanese Heat Wave Arena Booster Box is for

Ethan and Cynthia are favourites from the Johto and Sinnoh games, so collectors who follow famous trainers will want their partner cards in Japanese. On packaging, some Japanese retailers, Pokémon Center stores among them, remove shrink wrap when a box is sold to prevent instant resale. Choose Shrink for a box still in its outer film, or No Shrink for one without it. Cards are randomly inserted, so no specific card is guaranteed.
