The Forbidden Light Build & Battle Box is a special product given to participants at the start of Prerelease Tournaments for the Forbidden Light expansion. These tournaments were held on the two weekends prior to the release of the expansion: April 21-22, and 28-29, 2018. The boxes were later made available to purchase at retail stores on June 15, 2018, hence the name change from "Prerelease Kits" in previous expansions. Each box contains a random set of predetermined cards designed to enhance the experience of the Limited format events in which they were initially distributed.
Included in each Build & Battle Box is a 23-card Evolution pack that includes one of four specially stamped Prerelease cards for the expansion, as well as four booster packs. The Prerelease cards for the Forbidden Light expansion are Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Malamar, and Lycanroc, with each containing a group of Pokémon cards that are focused around their respective types: Grass-type, Lightning-type, Psychic-type, and Fighting-type.
The Forbidden Light Build & Battle Boxes provided an exclusive Non Holofoil version of Magnezone, which was only available as a Holofoil card in Forbidden Light booster packs.
