Scarlet & Violet set overview
Scarlet & Violet is the first main set of the Scarlet & Violet series, and the first to feature Generation IX and the Paldea region. It went on sale on 31 March 2023, after prerelease events on the weekends of 18 and 25 March. The set has 258 cards: a 198-card main list and 60 secret rares numbered 199/198 to 258/198. Its set code is SVI.
The set brought back Pokémon ex, which give up two Prize cards when Knocked Out. The Legendary Pokémon Koraidon ex and Miraidon ex lead it, and its 12 Pokémon ex include Gardevoir ex, Arcanine ex and Gyarados ex. The Paldean first partners Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly appear with their full evolution lines.
It also changed how English cards look. Yellow borders became grey to match Japanese cards, and the expansion symbol gave way to a set code and a language code. Trainer cards show their type (Item, Supporter, Stadium or Pokémon Tool) in the top-left corner, and Pokémon Tools became their own kind of Trainer card. Every Rare in a booster pack is now holofoil, and each pack is guaranteed three holofoil cards instead of two.
The English list combines two Japanese sets, Scarlet ex and Violet ex, with the three ex Starter Sets released alongside them and four Japanese promos. The changes are listed below.

What changed from Scarlet ex and Violet ex
- Merged: all 156 main-list cards of Scarlet ex and Violet ex, 78 from each. Koraidon ex (125/198) and Professor Sada's Professor's Research (189/198) come from Scarlet ex; Miraidon ex (081/198) and Professor Turo's Professor's Research (190/198) come from Violet ex.
- Added from the ex Starter Sets: 38 cards from the three Japanese starter sets, including the evolution lines of Sprigatito (013/198), Fuecoco (036/198) and Quaxly (052/198), and Trainers such as Nemona (180/198), Judge (176/198) and Pokémon Catcher (187/198).
- Added from Japanese promos: the non-ex Miraidon (080/198), Koraidon (124/198) and Oinkologne (157/198), which were campaign promos in Japan, and Poké Ball (185/198), which came in Japan's Energy Card Set.
- Left out: the starter sets' own Pokémon ex. English players got them as Black Star promos instead: Mimikyu ex (SVP 004) in the Mimikyu ex Box, and Ampharos ex (SVP 016) and Lucario ex (SVP 017) in their ex Battle Decks.
- Numbering: the main list runs to 198 against 78 in each Japanese set. The 60 secret rares are the same cards as the 30 in each Japanese set, renumbered after the main list.

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.

Japanese source setViolet ex (バイオレットex)Released 20 January 2023 · 108 cards · Paired with Scarlet ex.Scarlet ex (スカーレットex) and Violet ex (バイオレットex) released together in Japan on 20 January 2023. Each has 78 numbered cards and 30 secret rares, 108 cards apiece. Scarlet ex carries Koraidon ex and Violet ex carries Miraidon ex, and the Supporters are split between them. Three ex Starter Sets came out the same day: Sprigatito & Lucario ex, Fuecoco & Ampharos ex and Quaxly & Mimikyu ex. The English set merges both expansions, adds most of the starter-set cards and four promos, and renumbers the secret rares after the main list. Japanese secret rares use the AR, SR, SAR and UR labels, where the English set uses IR, UR, SIR and HR.

Scarlet & Violet products and sealed prices
Most of these products went on sale with the set on 31 March 2023. The Build & Battle Box came first, at prerelease events from 18 March. Its four alternate-art promos are Quaquaval (SVP 005), Pawmot (SVP 006), Hawlucha (SVP 007) and Revavroom (SVP 008). The Build & Battle Stadium also contains Build & Battle Boxes. Two Elite Trainer Boxes were sold, one for each box legend, with a full-art promo of that Pokémon: Miraidon (SVP 013) or Koraidon (SVP 014). The Pokémon Center versions add two packs and a second copy of the promo with a Pokémon Center logo. The single-pack blisters carry a Spidops (SVP 009) or Espathra (SVP 010) promo, and the three-pack blisters an Arcanine (SVP 011) or Dondozo (SVP 012) promo. Every booster pack holds 10 cards and a Basic Energy. Sealed prices are market prices from the same snapshot as the singles.

Collector's notes
Telling the set apart
This was the first English set with grey borders, and the first with a printed set code in place of an expansion symbol. A card from this set reads SVI and EN at the bottom left, next to regulation mark G. Later sets of the series print their own codes, so the code is the quickest way to sort a mixed pile of Scarlet & Violet era cards.
Stamped Lechonk promos
The set's three Lechonk cards were given away as stamped reverse holo promos. Bulbapedia lists Lechonk 154/198 with a GameStop stamp (US and Canada), an EB Games stamp (Australia and New Zealand) and a "Scarlet & Violet" stamp (Europe and Asia), Lechonk 155/198 with a Pokémon Center stamp as a pre-order promo, and Lechonk 156/198 with a "Scarlet & Violet" stamp as a Best Buy gift with purchase (US). None of the stamped versions came in booster packs, so they are easy to miss in a master set.
Build & Battle promos and staff prints
The four Build & Battle Box promos (SVP 005 to 008) also have a Staff version, given to staff at prerelease events. The boxes can also contain non-holo copies of Quaquaval, Dondozo, Pawmot, Revavroom and both Professor's Research cards, which are holofoil in booster packs.
Stamped reprints share the number
Several cards from this set were reprinted later with a stamp but the same SVI number. Houndoom (034/198) and Drifloon (089/198) are among the cards with a Pikachu jack-o'-lantern stamp from the Trick or Trade 2023 BOOster Bundle, and Battle Academy 2024 reprinted others with numbered deck stamps. The prices on this page are for the regular prints, so check for a stamp before pricing a copy.
