COMPARE THE EXACT FORMAT
Booster box and pack formats
Compare the packaging before choosing a format. These small reference images identify the product; packaging may vary by printing.
Jumbo format
25 cards per pack · 6 packs per box
Packaging reference| Pack format | Cards per pack | Packs per box | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slim | 5 | Not a boxed format at launch | The launch announcement says this five-card format was no longer sold in boxes. Confirm whether a current offer is a pack bundle. |
| Jumbo | 25 | 6 | Box configuration stated in the official product information.Official box reference |
Slim and jumbo describe the pack format, not oversized cards. A sealed case contains boxes; the number of boxes per case must be checked separately. Named Pokémon are set highlights, not guaranteed pulls.
Choosing the right version
For an original booster box, compare the 25-card jumbo format. An offer for a bundle of five-card packs should not automatically be described as the same factory box.

Is this the English or Japanese version?
No. This guide identifies the Simplified Chinese release 洪荒演武 茂. Similar Pokémon or artwork do not make different language editions the same product.

What should I compare in a booster-box offer?
Check the Chinese title, reference code CS3aC, cards per pack, packs per box and whether the packaging is an original sealed box or a pack bundle. For an original booster box, compare the 25-card jumbo format. An offer for a bundle of five-card packs should not automatically be described as the same factory box.
