Why now
August 2026 ETB restock chatter is real. Restocks are when you buy sealed — not the week after a TikTok squeeze.
Scarlet & Violet · SV10 · Released May 30, 2025
Destined Rivals
Team Rocket + Gen I nostalgia, without being a 151 clone.

The play
If ETBs reprint at retail, buy those. Leave $400 boxes for people who missed 2025.
The risk
Restock fills the channel and boxes can give back $40–80 fast. Singles of the Rocket chases are the stabler hold.
