Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack guide

What's inside the Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack

One sealed Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack contains 10 cards, with at least one rare, all from Scarlet & Violet.

About Scarlet & Violet

Opened the Scarlet & Violet series, bringing back lowercase Pokémon ex and introducing Special Illustration Rares. Released on 31 March 2023, it belongs to the Scarlet & Violet era. It is past its main print window, so sealed stock is getting harder to find at retail.

Scarlet & Violet has 198 cards in its main numbering, plus 60 secret rares numbered beyond it.

The cards a Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack can hold

The Scarlet & Violet cards collectors most want to pull are Miraidon ex, Koraidon ex and Gardevoir ex. Any one pack can hold them, but most packs will not: buying the single card is usually cheaper than opening for it.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 6 Hyper Rares, 10 Special Illustration Rares and 24 Illustration Rares. Prices for every card are on the Scarlet & Violet set page.

Is the Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack a good investment?

Scarlet & Violet is out of its main print run, the stage where sealed prices often start to move, but modern sets are printed in large numbers and can be reprinted. Single packs are the easiest to resell but also the most likely to have been searched or weighed. Watch the price of Miraidon ex, the set's headline card, since sealed Scarlet & Violet tends to move with it.

Only buy a Scarlet & Violet Booster Pack to hold if you are happy to keep it either way, as prices can fall too. This is not financial advice; see should you buy sealed Pokémon products?

Before you buy

Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on packs is tight and crimped evenly at both ends; baggy, shiny or uneven wrap is a common sign of a reseal. Avoid "weighed" or searched packs from bulk sellers: some sellers weigh packs to pull the holos out first. Always compare totals with delivery included, and keep sealed product away from sunlight, heat and damp once it arrives.
