Ancient Roar (SV4K) Complete Card List: All 94 Cards & Rarities

What Is Ancient Roar (SV4K)?

Ancient Roar is Japan’s ポケモンカードゲーム スカーレット&バイオレット 拡張パック「古代の咆哮」, released October 27, 2023. Each pack contains 5 cards at an MSRP of ¥180 (tax included), and a sealed box holds 30 packs for a Japan domestic box MSRP of ¥5,400 (~$37).

The base set runs card numbers 001–066, and the secret-rarity run picks up at 067 and continues through 094 — 28 cards split across Art Rare, Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, and Ultra Rare:

Ancient Roar is built around Paradox Pokemon — the ancient-form variants introduced alongside Scarlet & Violet — and released as a dual set alongside Future Flash (SV4M), covered further down. For pull-rate context and best-card discussion, see our Ancient Roar pull rates & best cards article. This page is the numbered checklist; for the full base set with images, see the SV4K card list page.

At ¥180 per 5-card pack, Ancient Roar works out to ¥36 per card at Japan retail before any secondary-market premium on the higher tiers — the same per-pack MSRP as the earlier SV-era Japanese sets in this line, and a useful baseline when comparing it against later, pricier releases. A full box of 30 packs delivers 150 cards, with every secret-tier pull — AR through UR — coming out of that same random pool.

The 66-Card Base Set

Cards 001–066 make up Ancient Roar’s base set, running from Common up through Rare and Double Rare (RR).

Six of those slots are Double Rare (RR) ex-Pokemon, and every one of them continues on into the secret-rarity run above: グレンアルマex (015/066), アマージョex (020/066), グソクムシャex (022/066), デスカーンex (031/066), スナノケガワex (042/066), and Roaring Moon ex (054/066).

The rest of the base set is filled out with Common, Uncommon, and Rare Pokemon and Trainer cards — the ordinary pulls that make up the bulk of every pack. A few of those base-rarity Pokemon get a second life later in the checklist: the entire 12-card Art Rare tier is built from base-set Pokemon reprinted as full art, a pattern broken down in the next section. Three Uncommon Supporters close out the base numbering at 064–066 — オーリム博士の気迫, Senri, and Meroko — and each of those three also continues into the SR tier, and two of the three into the SAR tier as well.

For the complete numbered base checklist (Commons through Rares, with images), see our SV4K card list page, which carries the full base set alongside high-res card photos.

The Art Rare Tier: Full-Art Reprints of the Base Set

Unlike the SR/SAR/UR tiers, which mostly recolor and re-illustrate the set’s ex-Pokemon and Supporters, the 12-card Art Rare tier (067–078) reprints twelve base-rarity Pokemon — each AR card shares its Japanese name with an earlier, lower-rarity base-set number, now rendered as a full-art card.

ミガルーサ 070/066 AR

ダストダス 075/066 AR

ミガルーサ (pictured above, 070/066 AR) is the same Pokemon as the Uncommon base card at 026/066, and ダストダス (075/066 AR) matches the Uncommon base card at 050/066. The same pattern holds across the tier: 067/066 matches base 005/066, 068/066 matches 010/066, 069/066 matches 021/066, 071/066 matches 032/066, 072/066 matches 034/066, 073/066 matches 040/066, 074/066 matches 041/066, 076/066 matches 051/066, 077/066 matches 053/066, and 078/066 matches 056/066. None of the twelve AR cards are ex-Pokemon — the ex lineup is reserved for the SR/SAR/UR tiers covered above.

For a collector building out a set, that distinction matters: the AR tier is a parallel gallery of ordinary Pokemon you likely already have in your binder at Common, Uncommon, or Rare, now re-rendered as full-bleed illustrated cards, while the SR/SAR/UR run is entirely about the set’s ex-Pokemon lineup and headline Supporters. Pulling all twelve AR cards means finding a full-art version of every Pokemon on this list — イワパレス, ブビィ, コソクムシ, ミガルーサ, サケブシッポ, コジョンド, キョジオーン, チヲハウハネ, ダストダス, モルペコ, アラブルタケ, and ドゴーム — a separate, parallel checklist from the ex chase covered above.

Ancient Roar’s Sister Set & English Counterpart

Ancient Roar didn’t release alone. Japan’s Scarlet & Violet expansions frequently ship in same-day pairs built around a single storyline, and SV4K’s other half is Future Flash (未来の一閃, SV4M), released the same day, October 27, 2023. Ancient Roar collects the ancient-form Paradox Pokemon associated with Scarlet, while Future Flash covers the futuristic-form Paradox Pokemon associated with Violet.

Internationally, both sets feed into a single English release: Paradox Rift, published November 3, 2023 — roughly a week after the Japanese dual release. Paradox Rift combines Ancient Roar and Future Flash with a Raging Surf subset and Terastal Starter Set cards into a 266-card English set, so any given Ancient Roar card has an English-language equivalent, just not always at the same card number.

That means Roaring Moon ex, the star of the Japanese checklist above, is also the marquee ex-Pokemon in Paradox Rift’s English cardpool — but the two products aren’t a one-to-one match. Paradox Rift folds in cards from a Raging Surf subset and the Terastal Starter Set on top of Ancient Roar and Future Flash, so its 266-card total is substantially larger than either individual Japanese set, and English collectors chasing a specific Ancient Roar printing (say, the SAR 090/066) are looking at a different card number and finish in the Western product, not an identical reprint.

This research pass found no verified official reprint announcement for Ancient Roar; reprint history remains unconfirmed.
