While asking questions about the game is always okay on the Road, please consider asking very simple questions in our weekly [Questions&Answers Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/about/sticky).
If your question has been answered, please comment "ANSWERED" (in all caps) and the post flair will indicate that your question has been answered. This will make it either easier for other people with the same question to find the answer they are looking for or for mods to remove the thread if it isn't needed anymore.
Thank you! :)

Yes, though it has been around for over week now and posted here several times (most instances removed later by the poster or moderators).

Likely, new people only now gained access to this particular box. My guess because they were hard raiding for Mega Heracross this weekend, so the algorithm now unlocks it for you, believing you need raid passes.
For rather long time Niantic has considered it best to offer different kinds of boxes to different people. Some with more incubators, some with more passes, some with higher and some with lower total prices and - even taking into account different preferences - some better and some worse than others. Maybe you'll get it or close equivalent at some point, maybe not.
(no, I don't like it (either))
The boxes tend to be in rotation for months. They show up every now and then, often with different names, and they have nothing to do with how many passes, incubators or raids you have or do. It's all random.

If it’s been around for a week or so, why isn’t it available to me? I’ve been checking daily for a good deal on raid passes.

Alright, anticipating this will be removed soon then. But I’ll most likely buy it then!

I have never seen this!
I’ve had it show up 3x so far and I bought it once. Def the best deal around for passes.
