Smyths Toys UK product page confirms Mega Evolution—Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box contents (incl. Tyrunt promo)

Smyths Toys UK has quietly done collectors a big favour on March 20, 2026: its product page for the Mega Evolution—Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box (ETB) spells out the box contents and, crucially, confirms the included full-art foil promo card is Tyrunt. That matters because ETB promos can vary by region or get mislabeled early, and a high-street retailer listing is one of the easiest ways to verify what you’re actually buying before release.

What Smyths’ listing confirms (and why it’s useful)

Based on the contents shown on Smyths-style ETB listings (and echoed across multiple UK retailer pages using the same product copy), the Perfect Order ETB includes 9 booster packs plus the usual ETB accessories and storage box. The standout line is the promo callout: “1 full-art foil promo card featuring Tyrunt.” (tritex-games.co.uk)

If you’re newer to ETBs, here’s why that one sentence is the collector gold:

  • ETBs are often purchased for the promo alone, because it’s guaranteed (unlike pulls).
  • Early listings from different stores sometimes disagree on promo Pokémon, pack count, or whether a product is the standard ETB vs a special edition.
  • When a mainstream retailer pins the promo down, you can cross-check other listings and avoid preordering the “wrong” item.

The Tyrunt note also helps you identify this ETB instantly in photos and resell listings later—especially once loose promos start appearing on secondary markets without the box.

Quick context: why ETB promos can swing demand

Elite Trainer Boxes sit in a sweet spot: they’re “entry-level sealed” for people who want packs, but they’re also a long-term sealed collectible because the box is sturdy, displayable, and tied to a specific set release.

What’s different about Perfect Order is that the promo is full-art foil (a flashier treatment than a basic holo), and it features a fan-favourite fossil line starter. That combination tends to create two types of buyers at launch:

  1. Promo chasers who want Tyrunt in top condition (often to grade).
  2. Set collectors who want the ETB as the “flagship sealed” item for the set.

Smyths confirming Tyrunt early means those promo chasers can stop guessing and plan around one specific card.

How much does the Smyths confirmation affect strategy?

It’s not that Tyrunt instantly makes the ETB “rare,” but it does change how you should think about buying.

If you only want packs, don’t overpay for the promo

With 9 packs per ETB, you’re paying for the accessories and the guaranteed promo as much as the boosters. If you’re purely ripping, it’s usually cheaper-per-pack to target booster-heavy products—then buy the Tyrunt promo as a single once prices settle.

The problem is: promo singles often start high in week one because supply is “locked” inside sealed ETBs. Smyths’ confirmation accelerates that cycle—people will list “Tyrunt ETB promo” immediately, and some buyers will bite early.

If you want the promo graded, buy sealed or buy very carefully

Full-art foils can be prone to edge wear or surface issues straight out of the box. If you’re aiming for PSA/BGS/CGC, your best odds are typically: - buying sealed ETBs from a retailer with decent handling, then opening carefully, or
- buying a single with clear front/back photos (and accepting a premium).

Market implications to watch over the next week

A few things are likely to happen between now and the set’s wider release window:

  • Listing cleanup: Stores that had placeholder copy will update to match the confirmed promo and pack count.
  • Promo-specific flipping: You’ll see listings that say “ETB promo Tyrunt” more than “Perfect Order ETB,” because the promo becomes the shortcut keyword.
  • Regional comparison chatter: US listings are already using the same Tyrunt promo language, so collectors will watch whether the UK product stays perfectly aligned or diverges later (for example, with bundle SKUs or wave timing). (gamestop.com)

If you’re tracking sealed positions, the Smyths confirmation doesn’t guarantee scarcity—but it does remove uncertainty. And in Pokémon, removing uncertainty is often what turns “maybe later” buyers into “preorder now” buyers.

The collector takeaway

The headline here isn’t just “Tyrunt promo confirmed.” It’s that Smyths gives UK collectors a reliable checklist: 9 packs, full ETB accessory loadout, and a specific full-art foil promo you can search for by name. Use that to sanity-check other retailer pages, avoid mismatched preorders, and decide whether you’re buying the ETB for ripping, for the promo, or for long-term sealed display. (tritex-games.co.uk)
