Clay Burst shares a release day with its sister set Snow Hazard, but it’s the box that carries the headline Iono — the print our own coverage still calls “the Iono box” more than three years after release.
SV2D “Clay Burst” is a Scarlet & Violet-series Japanese set that released on April 14, 2023, the same day as its paired release, Snow Hazard (SV2P). It runs 99 cards across a 71-card main set plus 28 secrets, including five Special Art Rare cards: Iono, Chi-Yu ex, Tinkaton ex, Ting-Lu ex, and Saguaro.
This guide covers exactly what’s in an SV2D Clay Burst box, which cards make up the chase tier, how the Regular Box and Damaged Box listings compare on our site for this specific set, and what the Japanese-vs-English picture looks like. We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo, so the listings below reflect what’s currently posted on our site.
SV2D Clay Burst is a 99-card set (71 main-set cards plus 28 secrets, five of them Special Art Rare) released April 14, 2023, at 30 packs per box and 5 cards per pack. The SV2D-Clay Burst Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥9,880 (~$62), and the Damaged Box listing is currently priced at ¥11,040 (~$69) — higher than the regular box, not lower, so check both listings before assuming which is the cheaper option.
Prices below are our current listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.

The 99-card checklist splits into a 71-card main set and a 28-card secret tier that sits above it, five of those secrets carrying Special Art Rare status:
| Tier | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main set | 71 | Cards numbered 1–71 |
| Secret tier | 28 | Numbered above 71/71; includes the SAR run |
| SAR Special Art Rare | 5 | The set’s top structural tier |
We don’t publish pull-rate figures for this box on this page — the breakdown of which secrets appear most and least often lives in our own SV2D Clay Burst pull rates and best cards guide, kept separate from the structural facts here. For the complete 99-card list, see our Clay Burst (SV2D) card list, covering all 99 entries including the Iono SAR.
Chase Cards in Clay Burst
Clay Burst’s five-card Special Art Rare tier contains two Trainer cards and three Pokemon ex cards. Iono also has a separate Secret Rare printing outside that five-card SAR group:
- Iono appears at both SAR (96/71) and SR (91/71) — the SAR is the set’s headline chase.
- Chi-Yu ex holds a SAR slot at 92/71.
- Tinkaton ex holds a SAR slot at 93/71.
- Ting-Lu ex holds a SAR slot at 94/71.
- Saguaro holds the fifth SAR slot at 95/71.
Iono — the set’s headline SAR
Iono SAR (96/71) is the headline print in our own Clay Burst coverage. This specific single is not currently listed on our site; sourcing requests go through the Quick Order page.
Iono — the lower-tier SR printing
The same character also has a Secret Rare printing at 91/71, one tier below the SAR. It’s a distinct card from the 96/71 SAR — not a reprint or a cheaper reprint batch, but a separate secret-tier slot in the same set. This print is not currently listed on our site either; the Quick Order page above covers requests for it as well.
Chi-Yu ex — SAR
Chi-Yu ex sits in the SAR run alongside Iono, Tinkaton ex, Ting-Lu ex, and Saguaro — one of the three Pokemon ex cards in the set’s five-card Special Art Rare tier. This print is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
Tinkaton ex — SAR
Tinkaton ex is the second of the three Pokemon ex SARs in Clay Burst’s secret tier. As with the cards above, this specific single is not currently listed on our site; requests go through the Quick Order page.
Ting-Lu ex — SAR
Ting-Lu ex at 94/71 completes the three Pokemon ex cards in the SAR tier. This print is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through the Quick Order page.
Saguaro — SAR
Saguaro at 95/71 is the second Trainer card and the fifth member of Clay Burst’s Special Art Rare tier. This print is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through the Quick Order page. For a full accounting of all five SAR cards across the secret tier, see our Clay Burst pull rates and best cards guide.
Regular Box vs Damaged Box on Our Site
We list sealed Japanese boxes under a few different conditions, and the naming is consistent across sets, but the pricing between conditions isn’t always what you’d expect. For SV2D Clay Burst specifically:
| Listing | Price |
|---|---|
| SV2D-Clay Burst Japanese Pokemon Booster Box (Regular) | currently listed at ¥9,880 (~$62) |
| SV2D-Clay Burst Japanese Pokemon Booster Box — Damaged Box | currently listed at ¥11,040 (~$69) |
On most sets we carry, the Damaged Box listing is the lower-priced option. For Clay Burst right now, the Damaged Box is priced higher than the regular box — ¥11,040 versus ¥9,880. Don’t assume the pattern holds set to set; always check both product pages directly.
“Damaged Box” on our site is a condition category for sealed booster boxes where the outer box — not the contents — is affected: the packs inside stay factory-sealed, and it does not mean any change to the sealed contents. There’s no “No Shrink” listing for Clay Burst on our site at the moment. For a broader look at how we frame Regular-vs-Damaged pairs, see our Clay Burst vs Snow Hazard box guide, which also compares this set head-to-head against its sister release.
One more product worth knowing about: the Clay Burst & Snow Hazard Pokemon Center Gym Set, currently listed at ¥25,200. It’s a bundle pairing product from both sister sets, not a condition variant of either regular box — don’t conflate it with the Damaged Box listing above.
Where to Buy a Clay Burst Booster Box from Tokyo
We ship sealed SV2D Clay Burst boxes worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. The regular box and the Damaged Box listing are both currently listed — compare the two product pages directly, since pricing between them shifts with our stock situation rather than following a fixed rule. The Clay Burst & Snow Hazard Pokemon Center Gym Set is a further option if you want both sister sets in one bundle.
For the Iono SAR, Iono SR, Chi-Yu ex, Tinkaton ex, Ting-Lu ex, Saguaro, or any other Clay Burst single not currently listed as a standalone product on our site, the Quick Order page is the fastest way to flag what you’re after or build a mixed order.
Browse the wider Japanese booster box range in our Pokemon card box collection, or see how Clay Burst compares directly to its paired release in our Clay Burst vs Snow Hazard box guide. The full checklist is on our Clay Burst (SV2D) card list, pull-rate discussion lives in our Clay Burst pull rates and best cards guide, and the sister set’s own chase cards are covered in our Snow Hazard pull rates and best cards guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cards are in the Clay Burst (SV2D) set?
99 cards total: a 71-card main set plus a 28-card secret tier, five of those secrets carrying Special Art Rare status.
What’s the difference between Iono SAR and Iono SR in Clay Burst?
They’re two separate secret-tier printings of the same Trainer card in the same set — Iono SAR at 96/71 is the set’s headline chase, and Iono SR at 91/71 is a distinct, lower-tier printing rather than a cheaper reprint of the same card.
Is the Damaged Box cheaper than the regular Clay Burst box?
Not currently. As of this guide, the Damaged Box listing (¥11,040, about $69) is priced higher than the regular box (¥9,880, about $62) — the opposite of what’s typical on other sets. Always check both product pages before assuming which is the lower-priced option.
What is the English equivalent of Clay Burst?
Paldea Evolved is reported as the English-language equivalent, the same pairing reported for Clay Burst’s sister set, Snow Hazard. The Japanese and English releases are not identical booster boxes.
Which cards make up the SAR tier in Clay Burst?
Five Special Art Rare cards make up the tier: Iono (96/71), Chi-Yu ex (92/71), Tinkaton ex (93/71), Ting-Lu ex (94/71), and Saguaro (95/71). Iono also has a separate Secret Rare printing at 91/71, which is not part of the SAR count.

April 14, 2023 — the same day as its paired release, Snow Hazard (SV2P).
