The Mew ex SAR from the Shiny Treasure ex booster box leads the Shiny Treasure ex chase cards: its lowest SNKRDUNK ask on October 7, 2026 is ¥43,000 (~$279) raw and ¥135,000 (~$877) as a PSA 10. Well over two years after hitting shelves, the Shiny Treasure ex pull rates and card values tell a story that most High Class Packs cannot match: sustained demand, stable prices, and a chase card lineup headlined by Mew ex SAR, Charizard ex SAR and Gardevoir ex SAR.
This guide breaks down the complete SV4a Shiny Treasure ex data — the pull-rate status, the top 10 most valuable cards with prices from the Japanese secondary market, and a clear verdict on whether this box deserves a spot in your collection. Card-level prices below are dated March 2026 unless noted; the booster box listing is current as of October 7, 2026.
Our team handles 15,000+ boxes monthly from our Tokyo warehouse, and Shiny Treasure ex remains one of the most consistently requested High Class Packs among international collectors. Here is why the data backs that demand.
Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) delivers the strongest chase card trio in SV-era High Class Packs — Mew ex SAR, Charizard ex SAR and Gardevoir ex SAR (March 2026 prices ¥55,000 / ¥40,000 / ¥18,000). The SNKRDUNK lowest ask for the box was ¥18,000 (September 1, 2026). Our SV4a booster box and its Damaged Box are sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.
Booster box pricing below reflects current SST listings and live SNKRDUNK asking prices. The October 7, 2026 update adds the chase-card table and refreshes our store listings and prices; the other facts in this article were last checked on September 1, 2026.

What Makes This Set Special
Shiny Treasure ex introduced the largest collection of shiny Pokemon cards in a single set — 129 baby shiny (S) cards plus 18 shiny super rares (SSR).
The set also features the return of god packs — rare packs containing shiny cards instead of the standard mix. These god packs have become a defining feature of Japanese High Class Packs.

JPN vs International Release
The English equivalent, Paldean Fates, launched on January 26, 2024 — just 56 days after the Japanese release. Key differences separate the two versions:
- Card pool: Paldean Fates combines SV4a cards with leftover cards from Raging Surf, Ancient Roar, and Future Flash
- Print quality: Japanese cards feature higher-quality texturing on SAR and SSR cards
- Pack structure: JPN boxes contain 10 packs of 10 cards; ENG products use booster bundles (6 packs of 9 cards)
For collectors prioritizing card quality and long-term value, the Japanese version has historically maintained stronger prices. Our Japanese vs English Pokemon cards guide covers this comparison in full detail.
Top 10 Most Valuable Cards
Mew ex SAR, Charizard ex SAR, and Gardevoir ex SAR lead the table below. Your box outcome largely depends on pulling one of these three.

| 1 | Mew ex | SAR | ¥55,000 | ~$374 |
| 2 | Charizard ex | SAR | ¥40,000 | ~$272 |
| 3 | Gardevoir ex | SAR | ¥18,000 | ~$122 |

Prices as of March 2026. Source: pokeka-atari.jp and SNKRDUNK.
#1 Mew ex SAR (347/190) — ¥55,000 (~$374)
The shiny Mew ex SAR stands as the most valuable card in the entire Scarlet & Violet High Class Pack lineup. Its appeal comes from two factors: Mew’s enduring popularity across every generation of collectors and the SAR artwork featuring a playful shiny Mew against a cosmic backdrop.
On October 7, 2026 the lowest SNKRDUNK ask for the PSA 10 was ¥135,000 (~$877), an asking price, not a sale. For collectors considering grading, the JPN print quality on this SAR gives it strong centering and surface scores at PSA.
#2 Charizard ex SAR (349/190) — ¥40,000 (~$272)
Every set with a Charizard chase card gets collector attention, and Shiny Treasure ex is no exception. The Charizard ex SAR features a dark, metallic shiny Charizard with dramatic fire effects — one of the most visually striking Charizard arts in the modern era.
At ¥40,000, it trails the Mew ex SAR but remains the second most valuable card by a wide margin. Charizard cards historically hold value better than almost any other Pokemon, making this a reliable store of value for collectors who prioritize long-term stability.
#3 Gardevoir ex SAR (348/190) — ¥18,000 (~$122)
Gardevoir ex was one of the most competitively dominant cards during the Scarlet & Violet format, and its SAR version carries both competitive credibility and collector appeal. The full-art illustration showcases Gardevoir in an elegant pose that has earned praise from the community — it ranked among the top 5 in SNKRDUNK’s user popularity poll.
At ¥18,000, it represents the “attainable luxury” tier — expensive enough to make a box pull exciting, affordable enough that collectors can target it as a singles purchase.
Cards #4–#10
#4 Iono SAR (350/190) — ¥13,000 (~$88): The most popular trainer character in the Scarlet & Violet era. Iono SAR topped SNKRDUNK’s user popularity poll with 2,353 votes. The cartoon-style art direction makes this card immediately recognizable. Strong demand from character collectors keeps the price stable.
#5 Pikachu S (Shiny) — ¥5,200 (~$35): Not an SAR or SSR — just a baby shiny Pikachu. Yet it commands more than most trainer SARs in this set. Shiny Pikachu is always a collector magnet, and the SV4a version benefits from being the only shiny Pikachu in the Scarlet & Violet era.
#6 Penny SAR (354/190) — ¥3,000 (~$20): Team Star’s boss gets a stylish full-art treatment. A popular character card at a relatively accessible price point.
#7 Mew ex SSR — ¥2,100 (~$14): The shiny super rare version of Mew ex. Mew ex SSR is the most valuable of the 18 SSR cards — pulling this specific one requires luck.
#8 Charizard ex SSR — ¥2,000 (~$14): The shiny Charizard ex in SSR form.
#9 Clive SAR (352/190) — ¥2,000 (~$14): The academy director’s alter ego gets a subtle, understated SAR. Lower demand compared to Iono or Penny, but still a hit worth celebrating.
#10 Mimikyu AR — ¥1,700 (~$12): The art rare Mimikyu rounds out the top 10. Mimikyu consistently ranks among the most collected Pokemon, and this AR captures that appeal.

Pull Rates — What’s in Your Box?
The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates for Shiny Treasure ex. This guide therefore gives no per-box odds, and the card prices above and below are asks, not a promise of what a box returns.
Guaranteed Hits Per Box
The Pokémon Company does not publish a list of guaranteed hits per box for this set, so none is listed here.
Probability-Based Pulls
Community estimates of how often a SAR, SR or UR appears circulate online, but none is confirmed by The Pokémon Company and none is repeated here.
The God Pack
God packs are special packs where the card slots contain shiny Pokemon cards instead of the normal mix. The Pokémon Company does not publish how often one appears. Pulling a god pack is not a reliable strategy for profit, but it is one of the most exciting moments in the Pokemon TCG hobby.
If you enjoyed the god pack concept, VSTAR Universe pioneered this feature in the Sword & Shield era.
Box EV Breakdown
A box expected value (EV) is built from pull rates, which The Pokémon Company does not publish for Shiny Treasure ex, so this guide does not calculate one. Judge the box by the dated asks in the tables above, not by a computed return.
Expected Value Calculation
No EV table is shown: every input it would need (how often each rarity appears, and the average value of each) is an unofficial estimate.
Understanding the Variance
Opening a sealed box is variable: a box can return little or a lot, and the asks in this post describe single cards, not what a box returns.
For collectors, the value equation extends beyond pure card prices — the opening experience of a High Class Pack with shiny cards and display-worthy artwork make the cost worthwhile as an entertainment purchase.
Should You Buy Shiny Treasure ex?
Shiny Treasure ex earns its reputation as one of the strongest High Class Packs of the Scarlet & Violet era. Your answer depends on what you are looking for.
For Collectors — The Shiny Showcase
If you collect for artwork and the joy of opening, Shiny Treasure ex is a standout recommendation. The baby shiny cards provide visual excitement, and the chase cards (Mew ex SAR, Charizard ex SAR) feature some of the best art in the SV generation.
The set’s 360-card depth also makes it a long-term collecting project. Master set collectors will spend months chasing every shiny variant — that ongoing engagement keeps demand and prices stable.
For Investors — 27-Month Track Record
Shiny Treasure ex has demonstrated something rare: appreciating card values in a market where most modern sets see significant price corrections within 6 months of release.
Sealed box prices tell a similar story. From an initial market price of ~¥8,000-9,000, boxes climbed to ¥13,800 by March 2026, and the SNKRDUNK lowest ask was ¥18,000 on September 1, 2026. As a High Class Pack with limited production runs, Shiny Treasure ex follows the historical pattern where HCP boxes appreciate after production ends.
If you are building a sealed collection for long-term value, compare this set against other proven HCPs in our High Class Pack ranking guide.
JPN Box vs Paldean Fates (ENG)
| Factor | JPN (Shiny Treasure ex) | ENG (Paldean Fates) |
|---|---|---|
| Box Price | Unavailable at the time of this update | ~$45-55 (Booster Bundle) |
| Mew ex SAR Value | ¥55,000 (~$374) | ~$150-200 |
| Print Quality | Higher texture/foil quality | Standard |
| Pack Structure | 10 packs × 10 cards | 6 packs × 9 cards (Bundle) |
| God Packs | Yes | No |
The JPN version costs more upfront but delivers higher per-card value, superior print quality, and the exclusive god pack feature. For collectors who prioritize quality and long-term appreciation, the Japanese box is the stronger choice. For budget-conscious buyers who want the artwork at a lower entry point, Paldean Fates offers solid value.
For international collectors, the JPN Shiny Treasure ex box delivers the best combination of chase card value, print quality, and long-term appreciation potential. It remains one of the strongest High Class Pack investments in the SV era.
Price Trends — 27 Months of Market Data
Shiny Treasure ex pricing has moved through three distinct phases since its December 2023 release, and current data confirms a mature, stable market.
BOX Price History
| Period | BOX Price (¥) | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Launch (Dec 2023) | ~¥8,000-9,000 | Initial premium over ¥5,500 MSRP |
| 3-6 months (Mar-Jun 2024) | ~¥6,000-7,000 | Post-launch correction |
| 12 months (Dec 2024) | ~¥10,000-11,000 | Recovery as supply tightens |
| 27 months (Mar 2026) | ~¥13,800 | Stable appreciation |
| 34 months (Oct 2026) | ¥18,000 SNKRDUNK ask (Sep 1, 2026) | Current level |
The price trajectory mirrors the pattern seen in previous High Class Packs like VSTAR Universe, which followed a similar correction-then-appreciation curve.
Key Card Price Stability
The card prices in this guide are dated; for the latest asks see the chase-card table above.
Three factors sustain long-term demand: (1) shiny Pokemon nostalgia since Gold & Silver, (2) the rare Mew + Charizard dual-chase combination, and (3) High Class Pack scarcity from limited production windows.
