Dark Phantasma (S10a) Booster Box Buying Guide

Dark Phantasma (S10a) Booster Box Buying Guide

Dark Phantasma (S10a) is a compact Enhanced Expansion Pack built around the Hisuian Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus — Hisuian Zoroark, Hisuian Goodra, Hisuian Electrode, and the Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR that anchors the set’s top rarity tier. It released in Japan on May 13, 2022, with a compact 15-card secret-tier run, which is worth understanding in detail before you buy.

This guide walks through what the set’s rarity structure actually looks like, which cards sit in the secret-tier run worth watching for, what our sealed box and graded singles are currently listed at, and who this box makes sense for. Every card and price here comes from our own Limitless-catalogued set data and our live product listings — nothing is estimated.

At 99 catalogued rows, Dark Phantasma is a realistic target for someone who wants to work toward a complete secret-tier run rather than tracking a checklist that keeps growing as new print runs surface.

Key Takeaway

Dark Phantasma (S10a) is catalogued at 99 total rows by Limitless TCG as of August 2026, with 15 secret-tier cards split across Secret Rare (10), Ultra Rare (3), and Character Super Rare (2) slots. The top of the set is Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR at No. 97, alongside Trainer secret rares like Volo, Iscan, and Arezu. Our S10a Dark Phantasma booster box is currently listed at ¥28,000 (~$176).

What’s Inside a Dark Phantasma Box

Dark Phantasma is an Enhanced Expansion Pack. Limitless catalogues 99 total rows for the set, of which 84 are base-set rows (commons through the standard rare tiers, as catalogued by Limitless as of August 2026) and 15 sit in the secret-tier run numbered 78 through 99.

That secret-tier run breaks down into three rarities:

  • Secret Rare (10 cards) — a mix of Hisuian V Pokemon and Trainer-class Supporters, numbered 78–87.
  • Character Super Rare (2 cards) — alternate-art versions of Enamorus V and Gallade V, numbered 88–89.
  • Ultra Rare (3 cards) — the set’s top slot, Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR, plus two Trainer Ultra Rares, numbered 97–99.

Two Pokemon — Enamorus V and Gallade V — each appear twice in the secret-tier run: once as a Secret Rare and once as a Character Super Rare alternate art. Collectors chasing a “complete” secret-tier run need both versions of each.

The Secret Rare tier’s six V Pokemon — Hisuian Electrode V (No. 78), Magnezone V (No. 79), Enamorus V (No. 80), Gallade V (No. 81), Hisuian Goodra V (No. 82), and Hisuian Zoroark V (No. 83) — are the base tier of the set’s V-line. Hisuian Zoroark V is the one directly tied to the set’s headline Ultra Rare, since Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR (No. 97) is its VSTAR evolution and sits at a separate, higher rarity slot on its own.

Chase Cards Worth Watching For

The three Ultra Rares sit at the very top of the set, followed by the Trainer Secret Rares that tend to draw the most attention from Supporter-card collectors.

Hisuian Zoroark V No. 83 Secret Rare Dark Phantasma S10a

Hisuian Zoroark V (No. 83, Secret Rare)

Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR (No. 97) holds the set’s single Ultra Rare Pokemon slot and the highest rarity position in the print run, making it the natural chase card for anyone specifically after Dark Phantasma.

The two Trainer Ultra Rares, Dark Patch (No. 98) and Box of Misfortune (No. 99), round out the top tier. Both are full-art Item cards rather than Pokemon.

The remaining Secret Rares split between Hisuian V Pokemon (No. 78–83) and full-art Trainer/Supporter cards — Volo, Iscan, Arezu, and Miss Fortune Sisters (No. 84–87). A PSA10 Arezu SR [S10a 086/071] is currently listed at ¥15,442 (~$97) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). PSA independently determines authenticity and grade.

For the full base-set checklist alongside this secret-tier run, see our Dark Phantasma (S10a) complete card list, and for a closer look at how these secret-tier cards have moved since release, see our S10a Dark Phantasma best cards breakdown.

One note on numbering: the table above uses the running No. 1–99 sequence Limitless assigns across the whole set. Our own product listings sometimes cite a card by its printed in-set fraction instead — our PSA10 Arezu SR listing, for example, is titled “086/071,” reflecting how the physical card is numbered on its own print. Both refer to the same card; the fraction just isn’t the same denominator as the Limitless total.

One thing we deliberately don’t publish here is a per-box odds estimate for any single secret-tier card. Manufacturer-confirmed pull odds aren’t published for this set, and we’re not going to guess at a number and present it as reliable. If you’re chasing one specific card from this list, the more predictable route is buying that single directly rather than opening boxes toward it.

Current Box Pricing

Our S10a Dark Phantasma Japanese Pokemon booster box is currently listed at ¥28,000 (~$176). That’s our own listed price for the sealed box; we don’t publish a separate MSRP figure for this set, so this listing is the number to work from if you’re budgeting a purchase.

If you’re after a specific secret-tier single rather than a sealed box, our PSA10 Arezu SR [S10a 086/071], currently listed at ¥15,442 (~$97) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), is a useful comparison point — weighing “buy a box and hope to pull it” against “buy the specific card already graded.”

Since we don’t have published pull odds to work from, we’d rather you decide your budget line before ordering than have us imply a number we can’t back up. If ¥28,000 is comfortably inside what you’d spend either way, opening the box for the full experience makes sense. If your goal is strictly one card — say, Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR or a specific Trainer Secret Rare — check whether we already have that exact card listed as a graded or raw single first.

Who Should Buy This Box

Dark Phantasma is a compact Enhanced Expansion Pack — 99 catalogued rows in total, well below the row counts of a full main-series expansion. That size changes who it makes sense for:

  • Hisuian-Pokemon collectors — Hisuian Zoroark, Hisuian Goodra, and Hisuian Electrode all have V-line cards in this set, so if you’re building around the Legends: Arceus regional forms specifically, this box is a direct hit rather than a tangential pull.
  • Supporter/Trainer secret-rare collectors — four of the ten Secret Rares (Volo, Iscan, Arezu, Miss Fortune Sisters) are full-art Trainer cards.
  • Buyers chasing a specific single — if your goal is one particular card rather than the full break, compare the box price against buying the graded or raw single directly. Our complete card list has the full base-set checklist to help you decide which route fits your goal.
  • Display and graded-slab collectors — because the secret-tier run tops out at 15 cards rather than several dozen, a shelf or case built around this specific set’s secret tier stays a manageable size.

If you’re mainly after volume of newer chase cards rather than this specific Hisuian-themed run, our S10a Dark Phantasma set hub links out to the rest of our Sword & Shield-era Japanese inventory so you can compare sets side by side before committing.

One group this box is a weaker fit for: buyers who specifically want a full set of base-set cards in addition to the secret-tier run and want that guaranteed from a single box. A single box’s exact contents aren’t something we publish odds for, so if a specific base-set card matters as much as the secret-tier cards do, check our complete card list for what’s separately available as singles.
