Scarlet ex (SV1S) was the Japanese Pokemon TCG’s opening move into the Scarlet & Violet era — and it shipped with a secret-tier run that set the template every mainline Japanese expansion since has followed. Twelve Art Rares, ten Secret Rares, five Special Art Rares, and three Ultra Rares, stacked on top of a 78-card base set.
This page is the full card list: every numbered card from the base set through the Ultra Rare energy at the very back of the print run, organized by rarity with both the Japanese and English card names. If you’re trying to figure out exactly what you pulled, or what to look for before you buy, the tables below cover the complete secret tier catalogued by Limitless TCG.
Scarlet ex released alongside its counterpart, Violet ex (SV1V) — the two sets split the Scarlet & Violet debut between them the way earlier Sword & Shield-era version pairs did, and they share several secret-rare Trainer cards with different artwork.
Because this is a card list rather than a pricing report, we’re not walking through market value here — the tables below exist so you can check exactly what number, name, and rarity a given card should have. If you want current secondary-market context for the chase cards, our sibling Scarlet ex best cards guide covers that side separately.
Scarlet ex (SV1S) catalogues 108 total cards as of August 2026, with a 30-card secret tier split across four rarities: 12 Art Rare, 10 Secret Rare, 5 Special Art Rare, and 3 Ultra Rare. The set released January 20, 2023. Our sealed booster box is currently listed at ¥11,648 (~$73).

Set Overview
Scarlet ex is the Scarlet-version half of the Japanese Pokemon TCG’s Scarlet & Violet debut, released January 20, 2023. It introduced the SV1S/SV1V card-numbering split that Japanese Scarlet & Violet-era sets used going forward, with Koraidon ex as the set’s flagship legendary and Gardevoir ex as its lead chase Pokemon.
Limitless TCG’s index catalogues 108 total rows for the set. Subtracting the 30-card secret tier leaves 78 base-set rows — commons, uncommons, rares, and the like — which lines up with the “/078” denominator printed on the cards themselves (for example, the Gardevoir ex Special Art Rare is numbered 101/078). The secret tier runs from card 079 through card 108, split into four rarities that stack in the order below.
If you’re new to Japanese secret-tier structure, the short version is that every card numbered above the base-set denominator (above 078/078 here) is a secret-tier card, and secret-tier cards are sorted into their own rarities that don’t exist in the base set: Art Rare, Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, and Ultra Rare, in roughly ascending order of scarcity within most Scarlet & Violet-era sets. Scarlet ex is a clean example of that four-tier stack, which makes it a useful reference point if you’re cross-checking a card from a different Japanese set against a similar numbering scheme.
One quirk worth flagging before the tables below: this set reuses the same character across multiple rarities more than most. Gardevoir ex shows up twice (Secret Rare and Special Art Rare), and Koraidon ex shows up three times (Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, and Ultra Rare). If you’re trying to identify a card you pulled, matching the card number to the table is more reliable than matching on character name alone — the small print at the bottom-left corner of a Japanese card, reading “xxx/078,” tells you exactly where it sits in the list below.
That numbering also makes cross-checking a card straightforward if you’re buying secondhand or from a marketplace listing: any card numbered 079/078 through 108/078 is a secret-tier card and should carry one of the four rarities in the tables below, while anything numbered 001/078 through 078/078 belongs to the base set this page doesn’t itemize.

Special Art Rare (5 cards)
| No. | JP Name | EN Name | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 101/078 | サーナイトex | Gardevoir ex | Special Art Rare |
| 102/078 | イダイナキバex | Great Tusk ex | Special Art Rare |
| 103/078 | コライドンex | Koraidon ex | Special Art Rare |
| 104/078 | ジニア | Jacq | Special Art Rare |
| 105/078 | ボタン | Penny | Special Art Rare |
Ultra Rare (3 cards)
| No. | JP Name | EN Name | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 106/078 | コライドンex | Koraidon ex | Ultra Rare |
| 107/078 | ネストボール | Nest Ball | Ultra Rare |
| 108/078 | 基本闘エネルギー | Basic Energy | Ultra Rare |
Two cards repeat across three rarities in this set: Gardevoir ex appears as a Secret Rare (092), a Special Art Rare (101), and never as an Ultra Rare, while Koraidon ex is the only card to appear in all three top rarities — Secret Rare (094), Special Art Rare (103), and Ultra Rare (106). That triple-rarity run is unusual even by Japanese secret-tier standards and is a big part of why Koraidon ex anchors this set’s chase list.
The Art Rare tier (079–090) is worth a separate look, even though it sits below the Secret Rare and Special Art Rare rows in most collectors’ pecking order. All twelve cards in that tier are non-ex Pokemon — Dolliv, Armarouge, Wiglett, Dondozo, Ralts, Kirlia, Fidough, Riolu, Sandile, Klawf, Kingambit, and Starly — rendered in the same full-bleed illustrated treatment as the higher rarities, just without the “ex” attack text or the gold/rainbow foil finishing. For collectors building a full art-rare run rather than chasing individual Special Art Rares, this tier is a self-contained target: twelve cards, and no character overlap with the Secret Rare or Special Art Rare tiers.
The Secret Rare tier (091–100) sits in between. It carries four “ex” Pokemon — Gyarados ex, Gardevoir ex, Great Tusk ex, Koraidon ex — plus two more ex cards, Toxicroak ex and Oinkologne ex, and four Trainer cards: Jacq, Team Star Grunt, Professor’s Research, and Penny. This is the tier where the set’s two Special-Art-Rare-eligible Trainers (Jacq and Penny) first appear, giving buyers a lower-cost alternative to the full-art versions two rows down.
Chase Cards: Special Art Rares & Ultra Rares
The five Special Art Rares and the Ultra Rare gold-bordered Koraidon ex sit at the top of the set. These are full-art, textured-foil treatments with the widest borders in the print run, and they’re the cards most collectors are hunting when they open a box.
Among singles, our current in-stock listing is the PSA 10-graded Gardevoir ex 101/078 Special Art Rare, currently listed at ¥51,014 (~$321) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). PSA independently determines authenticity and grade, so a PSA 10 slab reflects PSA’s own grading standard applied to that individual copy rather than a guarantee we make.
The two Trainer Special Art Rares, Jacq and Penny, are the more affordable end of the top tier — both are supporter cards rendered in the same full-art treatment as the Pokemon SARs, and both also appear as Secret Rares one number back, giving collectors a lower-rarity version of the same character art if the SAR isn’t in budget.
Great Tusk ex is the outlier of the five Special Art Rares in that it’s a Paradox Pokemon rather than a starter-line evolution or a returning legendary, sitting alongside Gardevoir ex, Koraidon ex, Jacq, and Penny as the five full-art chase cards collectors are most often hunting from this set.
The Ultra Rare tier closes the set out with Koraidon ex at 106/078, Nest Ball at 107/078, and a basic energy card at 108/078 — the last three numbers in the entire 108-card print run. Koraidon ex’s Ultra Rare printing is the third and final appearance of that character in the secret tier, after the Secret Rare at 094/078 and the Special Art Rare at 103/078.
Booster Box Pricing
Our sealed Scarlet ex booster box is currently listed at ¥11,648 (~$73), shipped from Tokyo. A damaged-box option is also listed for buyers who don’t need mint packaging: the Scarlet ex booster box (Damaged Box) is currently listed at ¥14,832 (~$93), with the cards inside unaffected by the outer box condition.
Every box contains a mix of the 78 base-set cards plus a chance at any of the 30 secret-tier cards above. We don’t publish estimated pull odds for this set — if you see insertion-odds figures elsewhere for a 2023 release like this one, treat them as community-reported and unofficial, not something we’re stating here.
Because Scarlet ex is now several years past its original release, it sits in a different buying category than a same-week release like a current Japanese expansion: the secret-tier singles market has had time to settle, and demand tends to concentrate on a handful of cards — here, Gardevoir ex and Koraidon ex across their multiple printings — rather than spreading evenly across all 30 secret-tier numbers. If your goal is a specific card rather than a full box, checking singles first and only opening sealed product if you want the box-opening experience is usually the more direct route.
Graded singles from this set are also listed as availability allows, like the PSA 10 Gardevoir ex listed above. A PSA grade documents the condition PSA assigned to that specific copy, which is most relevant for the textured, full-art Special Art Rare and Ultra Rare printings — those foils show handling wear more visibly than the flatter base-set cards.
Scarlet ex vs Violet ex
Scarlet ex shares its release window and several secret-rare Trainer slots with its sibling set, Violet ex (SV1V). Violet ex catalogues the same 108-row, 30-secret structure — 12 Art Rare, 10 Secret Rare, 5 Special Art Rare, 3 Ultra Rare — but with Miraidon ex as its flagship legendary in place of Koraidon ex, and a different supporting cast of Art Rares. If you’re building out both halves of this Scarlet & Violet debut, the two card lists are worth reading side by side.
| Scarlet ex (SV1S) | Violet ex (SV1V) | |
|---|---|---|
| Flagship legendary | Koraidon ex (094, 103, 106) | Miraidon ex (094, 102, 106) |
| Total catalogued cards | 108 | 108 |
| Secret-tier cards | 30 | 30 |
| Special Art Rares | 5 | 5 |
The Trainer lineup overlaps too — both sets carry a Secret Rare “Professor’s Research” and both close their Ultra Rare tier with a basic energy card, though the Special Art Rare supporters differ: Jacq and Penny in Scarlet ex versus Arven and Miriam in Violet ex. For a closer look at the Violet ex side, our sibling card list covers all 30 of its secret-tier cards the same way this page does.

Where to Buy Scarlet ex Product
We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery.

If you’re weighing sealed product against singles: a booster box gets you a shot at all 30 secret-tier cards plus the full 78-card base set, while going straight to a single like the PSA 10 Gardevoir ex above gets you that exact card directly, without depending on what a box happens to contain. Which route makes sense depends on whether you’re collecting toward a specific card or building out the set as a whole.

When was Scarlet ex released?
Scarlet ex released on January 20, 2023, as one of the two Japanese sets that opened the Scarlet & Violet era, alongside its counterpart Violet ex (SV1V).
What’s the difference between Scarlet ex and Violet ex?
Both sets share the same 108-card, 30-secret structure and several Trainer secret rares, but each has its own flagship legendary and Art Rare lineup — Koraidon ex leads Scarlet ex, while Miraidon ex leads Violet ex.
Where can I buy a Scarlet ex booster box?
Our sealed Scarlet ex booster box is currently listed at ¥11,648 (about $73), shipped from Tokyo with tracked delivery. A lower-cost damaged-box option and single PSA-graded cards are also listed.
How do I tell which rarity a Scarlet ex secret-tier card is?
Match the card’s printed number (the “xxx/078” in the bottom-left corner) to the tables on this page. Numbers 079–090 are Art Rare, 091–100 are Secret Rare, 101–105 are Special Art Rare, and 106–108 are Ultra Rare. Character name alone isn’t reliable since several characters, like Gardevoir ex and Koraidon ex, repeat across multiple rarities.
