Paldea Evolved card list, prices and set guide

Paldea Evolved set overview

Paldea Evolved is the second main set of the Scarlet & Violet series. It went on sale on 9 June 2023 and was playable in Pokémon TCG Live on launch day. Prerelease events ran on the weekends of 27 to 29 May and 3 to 4 June 2023. The set has 279 cards: a 193-card main list and 86 secret rares numbered 194/193 to 279/193.

The set is built around the final evolutions of the three Paldean first partners, Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex and Quaquaval ex, and the four treasures of ruin, Chien-Pao ex, Ting-Lu ex, Wo-Chien ex and Chi-Yu ex. The main list has 17 Pokémon ex. Three of them, Forretress ex, Slowking ex and Dedenne ex, are Tera Pokémon ex. Pikachu ex, taken from a Japanese starter deck, is one of the other 14. The Trainers include Iono and a Boss's Orders with Ghetsis artwork, and the main list ends with four Special Energy cards: Jet, Luminous, Reversal and Therapeutic Energy.

The English list combines three Japanese releases, the Triplet Beat subset and the twin sets Snow Hazard and Clay Burst, with cards from a Japanese Pikachu ex starter deck and the Premium Trainer Box ex. The changes are listed below.

What changed from the Japanese sets

• Every secret rare kept: all 30 Triplet Beat secret rares and all 28 from each of Snow Hazard and Clay Burst are in the English set. That is where its 86 secret rares come from.
• Added from the ex Starter Set Pikachu ex & Pawmot: Pikachu ex (063/193), Magnemite (065/193), Voltorb (066/193), Electrode (067/193), Pawmi, Pawmo and Pawmot (074/193 to 076/193), and one each of the set's two Shinx and two Pincurchin. The Japanese deck came out on 24 March 2023.
• Added from the Premium Trainer Box ex: Choice Belt (176/193), with new art by Studio Bora Inc., who also drew its earlier prints.
• Moved to promos: the regular Tinkaton ex from Clay Burst became SVP 031 in the Tinkaton ex Battle Deck, and the regular Annihilape ex from Snow Hazard became SVP 032 in the Annihilape ex Box. Both products came out on 14 July 2023. The set keeps their Ultra Rares, Tinkaton ex (240/193) and Annihilape ex (242/193), and the Tinkaton ex Special Illustration Rare (262/193).
• Held back: most of the other Japanese main-list cards that are missing here, such as Larvesta and Volcarona, Bronzor and Bronzong, and Salandit and Salazzle, came out in Obsidian Flames instead.
• Numbering: 193 main cards against 215 across the three Japanese main lists (73, 71 and 71).

Paldea Evolved chase cards

The six cards below are the most expensive singles in the set by market price on 9 October 2026. The most expensive of all on that date was Magikarp (203/193, Illustration Rare). Paldea Evolved leans on its Illustration Rares: it has 36 of them, more than twice its 15 Special Illustration Rares, and its headline chase card is one of them, Shinji Kanda's Magikarp (203/193), first printed in Japan's Triplet Beat. Other Illustration Rares to look for include Raichu (211/193) by Toshinao Aoki, Maushold (226/193) by Mizue and Tyranitar (222/193) by Nurikabe. Among the Special Illustration Rares, look for Iono (269/193) by kirisAki and Tinkaton ex (262/193) by Tika Matsuno. Tap a card to jump to it in the list.

Prices by printing

TCGplayer market prices in US dollars by printing, from tcgcsv.com, collected on 9 October 2026. The headline price on each card is TCGplayer’s main listing for that card; the line under the card name splits it by printing. Holo and non-holo prints have their own rows. Rare vintage holos sell infrequently, so their market prices can lag behind recent sales.

Paldea Evolved draws on three Japanese releases. Triplet Beat (トリプレットビート), a subset, came out on 10 March 2023 with 103 cards (73 + 30 secret rares) and brought the ex forms of Meowscarada, Skeledirge and Quaquaval. Snow Hazard (スノーハザード) and Clay Burst (クレイバースト) followed together on 14 April 2023 with 99 cards each (71 + 28 secret rares). Snow Hazard is led by Chien-Pao ex and has no Fire or Lightning Pokémon; Clay Burst is led by Ting-Lu ex and has no Water or Metal Pokémon. The English set keeps every Japanese secret rare, adds the Pikachu ex starter-deck cards and Choice Belt, and moves two regular Pokémon ex into promos. Japanese secret rares use the AR, SR, SAR and UR labels, where the English set uses IR, UR, SIR and HR.
