What makes Surging Sparks different
Surging Sparks is the eighth main expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, built mainly from two Japanese sets, Super Electric Breaker and Paradise Dragona. It runs to 191 numbered cards plus 61 secret rares.

It also adds eight ACE SPEC cards to the main list, and spreads its secret rares across 21 Ultra Rares, 23 Illustration Rares, 11 Special Illustration Rares and 6 gold Hyper Rares.
