Each Build & Battle Box includes a 40-card ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets and features one of four unique foil promo cards. It also contains four Pokémon TCG: Mega-Evolutions Pitch Black booster packs and a deck-building tip sheet. Players are allowed to modify the deck using the cards found in the booster packs.
