Trainers and promos in the kit (the kit also includes basic energy)

2x Air Balloon
2x Big Charm
2x Bird Keeper
2x Boss's Orders
2x Bruno
2x Cape of Toughness
2x Cheryl
2x Crushing Hammer
2x Escape Rope
2x Evolution Incense
2x Korrina's Focus
2x Leon
2x Level Ball
2x Marnie
2x Metal Saucer
2x Ordinary Rod
2x Professor's Research
2x Rare Candy
2x Scoop Up Net
2x Switch
2x Telescopic Sight
2x Turbo Patch
2x Quick Ball
2x Capture Energy
2x Coating Metal Energy
2x Rapid Strike Energy
2x Single Strike Energy
2x Crobat V (SWSH110)
1x Mismagius (SM245)
1x Sabrina & Brycen (SM246)

Not a terrible way to get a lot of decent trainers quickly, but almost none of them hold any actual value and can be bought as single cards for much less (mostly 1-20 cents). The Scoop Up Nets are about 3 bucks a piece and Crobat is about a buck fifty which comprises most of the value of the kit. I would not feel bad about getting this if you don't want to go through the hassle of ordering individual cards or if you've already picked up some preconstructed decks that you want to make a little better for the kids, but it's still a bit expensive outside of these situations.

Edit - Forgot these had some booster packs in them. That makes the deal a bit sweeter, even if the packs are a bit old and not from the most exciting sets.

Decidng on whether to buy this for my 9 year old. Isnt the value in the 4 booster packs. Thats about 16$. The rest of what is included would need to cover just a few dollars. Let me know if im mistaken since Ive only bought him the Battle Academy box and a few misc packs so far.

There is value in the booster packs, but as they are older booster packs, you can likely get the booster packs themselves for cheaper than their $3.99 MSRP.

I've seen many booster packs go down to $1.99 - $2.66 each from third party sources and/or LGSs after a year later, though that was a few years ago.

Best Buy also has Pokemon TCG sales from time to time where they discount down the MSRP.

This is a great deal considering that 4 packs are like 3.99 each. So paying $3-4 dollars for an additional 50 cards, dice, and card sleeves is a steal imo. card sleeves alone are like 5-7$

Good question. So far, the only cards in this Toolkit that have rotated out of standard are:

2 Mismagius PR-SM 245
2 Sabrina & Brycen PR-SM 246

Source: https://www.justinbasil.com/gifts

The next rotation is in "early 2023" and will include all cards with a D regulation mark. That's most of the cards in this Toolbox, including the Crobat Vs and Scoop-up Nets. The Rapid Strike and Single Strike cards in here, along with Capture Energy and some other trainers, are E regulation and will be useable in Standard in 2023.

The included card sleeves are not very durable. They look good, but will split apart very easily in my experience. They're definitely not $5 in value.

Overall, this is a very good buy if you want to build Standard-compatible decks for this fall, but the 2022 Trainer's Toolkit will be more worthwhile if you want to try playing competitively next year.

You can buy those for $20 on eBay any day of the week.
