Edition: Japanese

The Tidal Storm Booster Box is a sealed box of booster packs for XY5-Bt: Tidal Storm, an expansion in the Japanese Pokémon TCG. The set belongs to the XY era and was released on December 13, 2014. A booster box exists for opening packs, which makes it the format built for chasing the set's rarer cards and for seeing how a full print run of the expansion pulls out. It is the only sealed product in the set's line, and the set itself lists 80 printings in the catalog.

XY5-Bt: Tidal Storm chase cards

Tidal Storm is opened for its Double Rare cards. M Gardevoir EX leads the set by value, with Kyogre EX in 2nd, and both are Double Rares. Kingdra follows in 3rd as a Rare, and the Uncommons Ludicolo and Azumarill sit 4th and 5th, an unusual spot for cards from the lowest rarity tiers. Sixteen cards in the set count as chase-tier, and the top five cards hold 40 percent of the set's total card value, so the value is moderately concentrated at the top rather than spread evenly. A booster box from this set can yield all of these cards, since its packs draw from the same card list.
