The Surging Sparks booster box, officially a Booster Display, has no pack count printed on Pokemon.com, while a Japanese Super Electric Breaker pack is five cards at ¥180. Pokemon.com lists Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks with a release date of November 8, 2024 and "Over 250 cards"; the Japanese official pages list Super Electric Breaker (SV8) on October 18, 2024 and Paradise Dragona (SV7a) on September 13, 2024.
No official page says the English and Japanese sets are the same. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) describes SV8 as two thirds and SV7a as one third of Surging Sparks, which is a fan-wiki mapping at set level only.
We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.

What Pokemon.com Lists for English Surging Sparks
Pokemon.com’s set page gives November 8, 2024 as the release date and says the set has "Over 250 cards". The expansion page on tcg.pokemon.com shows a Booster Display and a Booster Bundle next to the Elite Trainer Box and the Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box. As of September 29, 2026, none of those product entries prints an MSRP.

Which Japanese Sets Sit Behind Surging Sparks
Bulbapedia’s list (as of September 15, 2026) describes the Japanese counterpart as two products. Super Electric Breaker (超電ブレイカー, SV8) is listed by the official site as an Expansion Pack (拡張パック). Paradise Dragona (楽園ドラゴーナ, SV7a) is listed as an Enhanced Expansion Pack (強化拡張パック). Those are the product types the official pages print.
| Level | Statement | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Official equivalence | Neither site states that English Surging Sparks matches SV8 and SV7a | Pokemon.com and pokemon-card.com |
| Set level | SV8 is described as two thirds and SV7a as one third of Surging Sparks | Bulbapedia list of Japanese expansions, as of September 15, 2026 (fan wiki) |
| Card level | Card-level matches between SV8 or SV7a card numbers and English card numbers are not verified | Not verified |
Our store titles the SV8 box "SV8-Super Electric Breaker" and names several PSA 10 listings "Supercharged Breaker / Super Electric Breaker"; both names point to SV8. For the Japanese side alone, our SV8 booster box buying guide and SV7a booster box buying guide cover set info and where to buy.
Spec Table: English Booster Display vs the Japanese SV8 Box
The two products are different formats. Pokemon.com describes an English display without a printed pack count, and Japan’s official page describes a pack, not a box. The table lines up what each page states and marks what neither page states.
| Spec | English Booster Display | Japanese Super Electric Breaker box (SV8) |
|---|---|---|
| Release | Set release November 8, 2024 | October 18, 2024 |
| Product type | Booster Display | Expansion Pack (拡張パック) |
| Cards per pack | — | 5 |
| Pack price | — | ¥180 including tax |
| Set size | "Over 250 cards" (Pokemon.com set page) | Printed as /106; SNKRDUNK’s list runs to 138/106 |
| Our listing | Not listed | Sealed option ¥27,771 (~$180); No Shrink option ¥26,390 (~$171) |
Super Electric Breaker (SV8) and Paradise Dragona (SV7a) Side by Side
Both Japanese pages state the same pack format. They differ in release date, product type and printed set size.
| Field | Super Electric Breaker (SV8) | Paradise Dragona (SV7a) |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese name | 超電ブレイカー | 楽園ドラゴーナ |
| Product type | Expansion Pack (拡張パック) | Enhanced Expansion Pack (強化拡張パック) |
| Release date | October 18, 2024 | September 13, 2024 |
| Pack price | ¥180 including tax | ¥180 including tax |
| Cards per pack | 5 | 5 |
| Printed set number | /106 | /064 |
| Highest number on SNKRDUNK list | 138/106 | 094/064 |
| Our box | Sealed ¥27,771 (~$180); No Shrink ¥26,390 (~$171) | Sealed ¥14,718 (~$96); No Shrink ¥13,512 (~$88) |
Cards such as Pikachu ex SAR 132/106 carry a number above the printed total of 106, which is why the top numbers on both lists exceed the denominators. Our SV8 card list and Surging Sparks Japanese card list give the full ranges.
English ETB vs Pokemon Center ETB
The two English Elite Trainer Boxes differ in exactly the ways the official pages state.
| Item | Elite Trainer Box | Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box |
|---|---|---|
| Booster packs | 9 | 11 |
| Full-art foil promos | 1, featuring Magneton | 2 Magneton promos, one with the Pokémon Center logo |
| Accessories | Standard Scarlet & Violet ETB set | Same as the standard ETB |
The official ETB pages list the standard Scarlet & Violet accessories: 65 card sleeves, 45 Energy cards, a player’s guide, 6 damage-counter dice, 1 competition-legal coin-flip die, 2 plastic condition markers, a collector’s box with 4 dividers and a TCG Live code card.

Which Route Fits Which Buyer
- You want accessories and a promo card. The English ETB (9 packs, 1 Magneton promo) or the Pokémon Center ETB (11 packs, 2 Magneton promos) is the route with sleeves, Energy and dice. Neither English ETB is a product we list.
- You want a full box of packs. The Japanese boxes are the sealed route: 5 cards per pack at ¥180 per the official pages, with the box options priced in the table above.
- You want a specific card. The tables above give the dated SNKRDUNK asks and our PSA 10 listings; anything not listed goes through the Quick Order page.
- You want to compare sets. A Japanese card number identifies the Japanese set only.
Where to Buy the Japanese Side from Japan

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cards are in Surging Sparks?
Pokemon.com’s set page says the English set has "Over 250 cards". In Japan the printed set numbers are /106 for Super Electric Breaker and /064 for Paradise Dragona. SNKRDUNK’s set lists run to 138/106 and 094/064, but those are marketplace list numbers, not official counts.
When did Surging Sparks release in English and in Japan?
Pokemon.com lists the English release as November 8, 2024. The Japanese official pages list Paradise Dragona (SV7a) on September 13, 2024 and Super Electric Breaker (SV8) on October 18, 2024. The English Elite Trainer Box and Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box carry the English set date.
How many packs are in the Surging Sparks Booster Display?
Official pages print no pack count for the English Booster Display or the Booster Bundle. The Elite Trainer Box holds nine packs and the Pokémon Center version eleven. Japan’s official SV8 and SV7a pages state five cards per pack but no packs-per-box count.
How much does a Surging Sparks booster box cost?
Pokemon.com prints no MSRP for the English Booster Display. Japan’s official pages price a pack at ¥180 including tax and give no box price. Our Super Electric Breaker box is currently listed at Sealed ¥27,771 (~$180) and the Paradise Dragona box at Sealed ¥14,718 (~$96).
Is Japanese Super Electric Breaker the same as Surging Sparks?
No official source says so. Bulbapedia’s list (as of September 15, 2026) describes SV8 as two thirds and SV7a as one third of Surging Sparks, a set-level mapping by a fan wiki. Card-level matches are not verified, so a Japanese card number should not be read as an English card number.
What is in the Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box?
The official page lists nine booster packs, one full-art foil promo featuring Magneton, 65 sleeves, 45 Energy cards, a player’s guide, six damage-counter dice, a coin-flip die, two condition markers, a collector’s box with four dividers and a TCG Live code card. The Pokémon Center version adds two packs and a second promo.
Which Japanese Surging Sparks card has the highest ask?
