Surging Sparks

About this collection

Surging Sparks released in November 2024 as the eighth main English set of the Scarlet and Violet era, closing out the block with one of its deepest pull lists. The set leans heavily on Paldea region Pokemon and Electric typing, and it has quickly become a favourite among collectors chasing modern alt arts and Special Illustration Rares with strong character work.

The headline pull is Pikachu EX 238/191, the Special Illustration Rare that has defined the set since launch. Alongside it, Jasmine's Gaze 233/191 has become one of the most collected Trainer cards of the era, while Latias EX 220/191 rounds out the top tier with its sweeping sky scene. We also see steady demand for Flygon EX 222/191, Tatsugiri EX 226/191 and the alternate Scovillain EX 216/191 for players building competitive Stellar decks.

Rarity tiers in this collection

Surging Sparks follows the standard Scarlet and Violet rarity structure. You will find Double Rare EX cards (such as Archaludon EX 130/191 and Hydreigon EX 119/191), Ultra Rare full art EX cards, Illustration Rare Pokemon, Special Illustration Rare characters and Trainers, and Hyper Rare gold etched cards including Enriching Energy 191/191. Trainer gallery pulls like Miracle Headset 183/191 and Amulet of Hope 162/191 are also worth a look for deck builders.
