Charizard VMAX is in this set. That sentence alone tells you everything you need to know — Sword & Shield—Darkness Ablaze is the expansion that delivered the Fire-type titan's colossal Gigantamax debut in the English Pokémon TCG, and every serious collector knows it.

Each Darkness Ablaze Elite Trainer Box contains 8 booster packs, with each pack delivering 10 cards plus 1 basic Energy. The box also includes 65 Eternatus-themed card sleeves, 45 Energy cards, 6 damage-counter dice, a competition-legal coin-flip die, 2 acrylic condition markers, a player's guide, a Pokémon TCG rulebook, a divided collector's storage box, and an online code card — everything a dedicated collector needs in one sealed package.

The 189-card base set is stacked with heavy hitters across the VMAX rarity tier: Charizard VMAX (#020/189) anchors the pull list as the most valuable card in the set, joined by Butterfree VMAX, Eternatus VMAX, Centiskorch VMAX, Grimmsnarl VMAX, Scizor VMAX, and Salamence VMAX. Beyond the base set, 12 Secret Rares numbered past 189 push the master set to 201 cards total — the hardest to pull and the ones breakers are hunting hardest.

What you're hunting:

  • Charizard VMAX (#020/189) — the marquee pull, commanding the highest market value in the set
  • Rainbow Rare Secret Rares (#190–#194) — Butterfree VMAX, Centiskorch VMAX, Eternatus VMAX, Scizor VMAX, and Salamence VMAX in full holographic rainbow treatment
  • Gold Secret Rares (#197–#201) — Rillaboom, Coalossal, Big Parasol, Turbo Patch, and Capture Energy in Gold Card treatment
  • Full Art Ultra Rares (#177–#189) — Crobat V, Houndoom V, Salamence V, Trainer Supporters Kabu, Piers, Rose, and more
  • Reverse Holofoils — every base card has a reverse holo variant, making the master set a 356-card chase

With sealed Darkness Ablaze product carrying a persistent premium and Charizard VMAX remaining one of the most recognizable cards of the entire Sword & Shield era, this ETB is the cleanest entry point into a set that still moves — rip it, chase it, or hold it sealed.
