The best Pokémon deals ahead of Amazon's Big Spring Sale: Trading cards at record-low prices

Amazon's Big Spring Sale has not officially started yet, but Pokémon shoppers already have a few worthwhile deals to browse before the event kicks off for real.

Amazon has early discounts and preorder price cuts live across a wide range of categories — gaming deals , TV deals , Lego deals , and much more — making this a good time to shop if your wishlist includes sealed TCG products, collector boxes, or a couple of first-party Pokémon titles.

Best Pokémon Elite Trainer Box deal

Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box

Get Deal↗

With Pokémon TCG's Perfect Order expansion finally out this week on March 27, we're at the turning point where pre-launch ETBs will start going well above $100 upon release — making this the best time to grab the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box for under $100.

Soon after, we predict the Perfect Order ETB will follow the market's usual trend (like other Pokemon ETBs on Amazon ), going well above the $110 mark as availability starts to drop. Now is the best time to jump in before that happens.

The Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box includes nine Perfect Order booster packs, a full-art foil Tyrunt promo card, 65 sleeves, 40 Energy cards, a player's guide, dice, a coin, a collector's box, six dividers, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

Best Pokémon collection deal

Pokémon TCG Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection

Get Deal↗

The Pokémon TCG Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection is one of the best early Pokémon deals already live ahead of Amazon's Big Spring Sale — down to $196.97 from $249.99 , saving you $53.02 on a premium collector box with tons of packs and extra collectibles. It's now only $11 above TCGplayer's market price value of $185.

This set includes 18 booster packs,, foil promo cards of Mega Charizard X ex and Oricorio ex, plus sleeves, a playmat, deck box, metal coin, dice, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live. That makes it more of a centerpiece purchase than a casual pickup, but for collectors or Charizard fans, it is one of the more eye-catching early deals live right now.

You'll get four packs of Phantasmal Flames, four Mega Evolution, four Destined Rivals, four Journey Together, and two Surging Sparks with this limited-time offer.

Best Pokémon Booster Pack deal

Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box

Get Deal↗

With a new price cut of over $30, pre-ordering the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Booster Display Box (36 booster packs) for $249.95 means you're only paying roughly $6.94 per booster pack; that's almost $5 off compared to buying Perfect Order boosters individually .

So unlike an Elite Trainer Box, you are not getting sleeves, dice, or storage extras. This is more of a straight pack-heavy buy for collectors who want to open a full box at once or chase cards from the new Perfect Order expansion without paying for the added accessories.

Best Pokémon preorder deal

Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1

Get Deal↗

The second option is less of a markdown and more of a strategic preorder for anyone trying to get ahead of the rush. The Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1 is available to preorder for $64.75 and is set to release on March 20. 

This set, along with a booster pack each of Phantasmal Flames and Mega Evolution, includes one booster pack containing three of nine illustration rare-style promo cards themed around first partner Pokémon from the Kanto, Sinnoh, or Alola regions, plus a sticker sheet. 

Currently, this sits over $10 above its market price on TCGplayer , but Amazon's listing is still cheaper than most listings when shipping costs are considered. Because this is a limited collection, we expect the value of the First Partner Illustration Collection to go way up once there's less availability after its release date.
