What makes Paradox Rift different

Paradox Rift is the fourth main expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, built mainly from two Japanese sets, Ancient Roar and Future Flash, which came out in Japan on 27 October 2023, with further cards drawn from the Raging Surf subset. Its list runs to 266 cards: 182 numbered in the main set and 84 secret rares from #183 to #266.

The set brought in Ancient and Future Pokémon, the Paradox forms from Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, with Roaring Moon ex leading the Ancient side and Iron Valiant ex the Future side. Twenty Pokémon ex appear as Double Rares, Mewtwo ex among them, and Tera Pokémon ex change type with a crystalline look, including a Water-type Garchomp ex.

The secret rares break down as 34 Illustration Rares, 28 Ultra Rares, 15 Special Illustration Rares and 7 gold Hyper Rares. Trainers claim a big share of the top end: Professor Sada's Vitality, Professor Turo's Scenario, Mela, Parasol Lady, Rika and Tulip all reach Special Illustration Rare, and Beach Court, Counter Catcher, Luxurious Cape and Reversal Energy join Garchomp ex, Iron Valiant ex and Roaring Moon ex in gold.

Paradox Rift products and release dates

The English launch came on 3 November 2023, and the range took in single booster packs, a 6-pack Booster Bundle, a 36-pack Booster Box, a Build & Battle Box, and Elite Trainer Boxes in two designs, one showing Roaring Moon and one showing Iron Valiant.

The standard Elite Trainer Box held 9 packs. Pokémon Center sold both designs with 11 packs and an extra promo stamped with the Pokémon Center logo. The Build & Battle Box paired 4 packs with a ready-to-play 40-card deck holding one of four foil promos.

The pull rate calculator compares the Paradox Rift products pack for pack, and our drop alerts flag new Pokémon Center exclusives as they arrive.

Paradox Rift questions

What is the most valuable card in Paradox Rift?

Groudon, the Illustration Rare numbered #199, tops the value ranking above, ahead of every Special Illustration Rare in the set. The ranking refreshes each day from TCGplayer prices, so the order beneath it can change.

How many cards are in Paradox Rift?

266 cards. The main list runs from #001 to #182, and 84 secret rares follow from #183 to #266.

When did Paradox Rift come out?

3 November 2023 in English. Pokémon 151 came out before it in September 2023, and Paldean Fates followed in January 2024.

What are the Paradox Rift pull rates?

A Special Illustration Rare turns up about once in 47 to 52 packs, so any one of the 15 is roughly a 1 in 705 to 780 pull.
