The Surging Sparks Build & Battle Box was released as a prelude to the Surging Sparks expansion and offered people the opportunity to experience the cards before their general release on November 8, 2024. Tournaments were typically held on the weekends of October 26-27 and November 2-3, 2024. Boxes could also be purchased from stores in the Prerelease Program from October 26, 2024.

Each box included a ready-to-play 40-card deck plus four Surging Sparks booster packs to potentially integrate useful cards into it. Decks comprised two of four possible groups of cards, including an alternate-art promotional card, as well as 17 basic Energy cards and an assortment of Trainer cards. The possible promotional cards included Gouging Fire, Chien-Pao, Magneton, and Indeedee. Surging Sparks Build & Battle Boxes were categorized as Play Level 2.

The boxes could provide exclusive Non Holofoil versions of cards only available as Holofoil in Surging Sparks booster packs: Rabsca, Gouging Fire, and Tapu Koko. The Professor's Research card, while unavailable in Surging Sparks booster packs, is also Non Holofoil in Surging Sparks Build & Battle Boxes.
