Shiny Star V (S4a) Card List: All 326 Cards & Rarities

Set Overview

Shiny Star V released in Japan on November 20, 2020, as a Sword & Shield-era “High Class Pack” — a premium product format built around a single mechanical theme rather than a normal expansion’s mix of new attackers. Limitless TCG’s index catalogues 326 total rows for the set, made up of 187 base-set rows (derived as total minus secret tier, catalogued as of August 2026 — not an official Pokemon Company denominator) and a sprawling 139-card secret tier numbered 191/190 through 326/190.

That secret tier is the reason Shiny Star V is still discussed five years after release. It splits into four rarity bands, and the split is heavily weighted toward one tier: 3 Amazing Rare, 9 Secret Rare, 104 Shiny Rare, and 23 Shiny Ultra Rare — the last of which carries the widely used shorthand “SSR” and includes the set’s most recognizable single card, Charizard VMAX.

The Shiny Rare tier alone — 104 cards — accounts for roughly three-quarters of the entire secret run. Every one of those 104 cards is the exact same Pokemon species and card layout as its normal-colored base-set counterpart, just recolored in the shiny palette, which is the mechanic the whole set is named for. The tables below cover the three smaller, fully-listed tiers in full, then summarize the 104-card Shiny Rare tier by count and named highlights.

Secret Rare Tier: 191–199

Nine Secret Rares follow immediately after the base set’s printed total, numbers 191/190 through 199/190 — and every one is a Trainer or Supporter character rather than a Pokemon:

Every card in this nine-card band is a Trainer/Supporter, drawn from Galar-region gym staff and story characters — Marnie (198), Piers (194), and Rose (199) among the more recognizable names, alongside Gym Trainer, Bird Keeper, Cara Liss, Poke Kid, and Ball Guy as generic character archetypes rather than named story figures. English name data for 195/190 isn’t confirmed in our source index, so it’s listed above by its Japanese name only rather than a guessed English equivalent.

The 104-Card Shiny Rare Tier

Numbers 200/190 through 303/190 make up the tier that gives Shiny Star V its name: 104 cards, every one a shiny-palette recolor of a Pokemon that also appears normally in the base set. That’s the largest single rarity band in the entire set — more than a quarter of every catalogued row in Shiny Star V, and roughly three-quarters of the secret tier alone. Transcribing all 104 rows individually is outside the scope of this summary; the full list is catalogued in the same Limitless index linked throughout this page. What follows is a representative sample rather than the complete 104-card table.

The clearest pattern inside the tier is that it runs almost entirely in complete evolution lines rather than scattered single Pokemon. Four fully-evolved starter trios sit inside the 104 — each stage of the line printed shiny, back to back in the numbering:

Beyond the starter trios, a handful of individually recognizable Pokemon also fall inside the 104-card Shiny Rare run: Suicune (221), Rotom (237), Dragapult (261, the un-evolved final-stage form alongside its own Shiny Ultra Rare V/VMAX pair higher in the tier list), and Corviknight (288), Galar’s regional taxi Pokemon.

Outside of these highlighted rows, the remaining Shiny Rare cards cover dozens of other Galar-region and cross-generation Pokemon in evolution-line order, from Blipbug through Dubwool. If you’re trying to confirm whether a specific card number between 200/190 and 303/190 belongs to this tier, every card in that range is a Shiny Rare by definition — there’s no further split within the band.

Availability & Our Current Listing

Shiny Star V sealed booster boxes are not currently listed in our inventory. If you’re looking to open the set yourself, the fastest route is to request a quote via our Quick Order page and we’ll confirm what’s available for the next restock.

What we do have confirmed in stock is a single-card listing for the set’s headline chase card: a PSA 10-graded Charizard VMAX SSR, 308/190, currently listed at ¥43,252 (~$272) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). PSA independently determines authenticity and grade on graded singles like this one; we’re not making any authenticity claim beyond the PSA slab and grade shown on the listing itself.

Because MSRP figures for this generation of Japanese High Class Packs aren’t part of the verified data behind this article, we’re not stating an original retail price for Shiny Star V here — only what’s actually listed, when it’s listed. For more on how the set’s Secret Rare and SSR cards have traded since release, our sibling Shiny Star V best cards and insertion-odds guide covers that side in more depth, and our dedicated Shiny Star V booster box buying guide covers box-level buying decisions specifically.
