Paradox Rift will be releasing after the special set Pokemon 151 Set, that is due in September.

Paradox Rift Products

As with every early announcement, we get to see lots of the Paradox Rift products that are announced for this set. As it is a main set, we'll get Booster Boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and more!

Paradox Rift Booster Box

Booster Box

The Paradox Rift Booster Box is the perfect way to start off your collection as it contains 36 Booster Packs; usually you're able to pick up these boxes at discounts, making even more savings than if you just purchased the Booster packs individually.

We've also gotten artwork for four Booster Packs, which include the Pokemon: Roaring Moon, Garchomp, Armarouge and Iron Valiant.
