Violet ex is one half of the pair that opened the Scarlet & Violet era in Japan — released alongside its companion set, Scarlet ex, on January 20, 2023. Where Scarlet ex is built around Koraidon ex, Violet ex is built around Miraidon ex, and the two sets mirror each other card-for-card down to the secret-tier rarity split.
This page transcribes every secret-tier card in Violet ex (SV1V) directly from Limitless TCG’s set index — card number, Japanese name, English name, and rarity — so you can identify exactly what you’re holding or hunting. We also cover the base-set count, the five Special Art Rares that anchor the chase, and where to find sealed boxes and graded singles from this set.
Because Violet ex launched the Scarlet & Violet era in Japan alongside Scarlet ex, it’s often the first set collectors reference when comparing how the format’s early secret-tier structure was built. The 12/10/5/3 rarity split you’ll see below — Art Rare, Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, Ultra Rare — is the same split used in companion set Scarlet ex (SV1S) and in Triplet Beat (SV1a), which makes this checklist a useful reference point even if you’re not actively collecting SV1V itself.
If you already know which card number you’re looking for, jump to the matching rarity table. If you’re trying to work out what’s actually chase-worthy in this set versus what’s a common pull, the tables and the gallery further down sort that out by rarity tier rather than by market hype.
Violet ex (SV1V) totals 108 catalogued rows — 78 base-set cards and 30 secret-tier cards, split 12 Art Rare, 10 Secret Rare, 5 Special Art Rare, and 3 Ultra Rare. Miraidon ex is the set’s headline ex, appearing at Special Art Rare (102/078) and Ultra Rare (106/078).
Card data is transcribed from Limitless TCG’s Violet ex (SV1V) set index as catalogued as of August 2026. Prices below are our own listed prices for in-stock items, converted at ¥159/USD.
One more note before the tables: this checklist covers the standard Japanese Violet ex expansion pack release. It doesn’t cover promo cards distributed separately around the same release window, and it doesn’t extend to any other Scarlet & Violet-era Japanese set — those get their own dedicated card list pages, several of which are linked throughout this article.
Violet ex By the Numbers
Violet ex (SV1V) sits at 108 total rows as catalogued by Limitless TCG as of August 2026: 78 base-set cards (commons through the standard rare tier) plus 30 secret-tier cards numbered 79 through 108. The secret tier breaks down as 12 Art Rare, 10 Secret Rare, 5 Special Art Rare, and 3 Ultra Rare — the same four-rarity structure used across the early Scarlet & Violet-era Japanese sets.
The tables below transcribe every secret-tier card exactly as catalogued, grouped by rarity. Numbers use the “/078” denominator you’ll see on graded slabs and product listings for this set, since 78 is the base-set count.
Each rarity step up the secret tier generally corresponds to a more elaborate illustration treatment on the same character or effect — Art Rares are full-illustration reworks of base-set Pokemon, Secret Rares extend that treatment to ex Pokemon and key Supporters, and Special Art Rares repeat some of those same subjects in a second, more detailed art pass. Ultra Rares close out the set with a gold-bordered treatment reserved for the final handful of cards. None of that changes what a card is mechanically — it’s purely a print and rarity distinction, and it’s the reason the same character (Miraidon ex, Arven, Iron Treads ex, Miriam) can legitimately show up twice in the tables below at two different rarities.
Art Rare (79–90)
Twelve Art Rares, each a full-illustration alternate art of a base-set Pokemon. This is the most populous secret-tier rarity in the set.
| No. | Japanese Name | English Name | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 79/078 | タマンチュラ | Tarountula | Art Rare |
| 80/078 | ノノクラゲ | Toedscool | Art Rare |
| 81/078 | スコヴィラン | Scovillain | Art Rare |
| 82/078 | ヤドン | Slowpoke | Art Rare |
| 83/078 | ウデッポウ | Clauncher | Art Rare |
| 84/078 | パチリス | Pachirisu | Art Rare |
| 85/078 | パーモット | Pawmot | Art Rare |
| 86/078 | スリープ | Drowzee | Art Rare |
| 87/078 | ボチ | Greavard | Art Rare |
| 88/078 | マフィティフ | Mabosstiff | Art Rare |
| 89/078 | オトシドリ | Bombirdier | Art Rare |
| 90/078 | ホシガリス | Skwovet | Art Rare |
Drowzee (86/078) is the Art Rare we currently hold PSA10-graded stock on — see the chase card section below. The rest of the Art Rare run covers a spread of Pokemon that didn’t get an ex-level treatment elsewhere in the set, from Tarountula and Slowpoke through to Pachirisu, Mabosstiff, and Skwovet. None of the twelve are ex Pokemon, and none of them are duplicated elsewhere in the checklist — if you’re assembling a full Art Rare run rather than chasing a single headline card, this is the tier to work through methodically.
Secret Rare (91–100)
Ten Secret Rares mix full-art ex Pokemon with Supporter and Trainer cards rendered in the same treatment.
| No. | Japanese Name | English Name | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 91/078 | ワナイダーex | Spidops ex | Secret Rare |
| 92/078 | ウインディex | Arcanine ex | Secret Rare |
| 93/078 | ジバコイルex | Magnezone ex | Secret Rare |
| 94/078 | ミライドンex | Miraidon ex | Secret Rare |
| 95/078 | ジュペッタex | Banette ex | Secret Rare |
| 96/078 | テツノワダチex | Iron Treads ex | Secret Rare |
| 97/078 | カエデ | Katy | Secret Rare |
| 98/078 | 博士の研究 | Professor's Research | Secret Rare |
| 99/078 | ペパー | Arven | Secret Rare |
| 100/078 | ミモザ | Miriam | Secret Rare |
Notice the pattern: Miraidon ex, Iron Treads ex, Arven, and Miriam each appear here at Secret Rare, then again one tier up at Special Art Rare. That’s the same character getting two distinct full-art treatments in one set.
Five Secret Rares don’t repeat higher up the tier list: Arcanine ex (92/078), Magnezone ex (93/078), Banette ex (95/078), Katy (97/078), and Professor's Research (98/078) each appear only once in the secret tier, at this rarity, with no Special Art Rare counterpart in this set. If you’re specifically after one of those five, the Secret Rare printing is the only secret-tier version that exists.
Special Art Rare (101–105)
Five Special Art Rares — the alternate, more detailed illustrations of the same four ex Pokemon and Supporters that appear at Secret Rare, plus Miriam.
| No. | Japanese Name | English Name | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 101/078 | ワナイダーex | Spidops ex | Special Art Rare |
| 102/078 | ミライドンex | Miraidon ex | Special Art Rare |
| 103/078 | テツノワダチex | Iron Treads ex | Special Art Rare |
| 104/078 | ペパー | Arven | Special Art Rare |
| 105/078 | ミモザ | Miriam | Special Art Rare |
Ultra Rare (106–108)
The final three rows: one more Miraidon ex treatment, a Trainer card, and the set’s basic energy card, all printed in the Ultra Rare gold-border style. This is the shortest tier in the set — three cards instead of the five or more seen in the other three secret-tier rarities — and it closes out the numbered checklist at 108.
| No. | Japanese Name | English Name | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 106/078 | ミライドンex | Miraidon ex | Ultra Rare |
| 107/078 | ふしぎなアメ | Rare Candy | Ultra Rare |
| 108/078 | 基本雷エネルギー | — | Ultra Rare |
The Chase Cards, With Images
The six cards below cover the top of the secret tier: all five Special Art Rares plus the Ultra Rare Miraidon ex. This is the gallery most collectors are pulling this set for.
Three of the five Special Art Rares — Miraidon ex, Iron Treads ex, and Spidops ex — are ex Pokemon, each getting a second full-art pass beyond their Secret Rare printing earlier in the checklist. The other two, Arven and Miriam, are Supporter cards, and they’re the pair most closely tied to the set’s story characters rather than to a specific Pokemon. Miriam in particular carries the set’s mascot-adjacent character art, which is part of why it’s the card we hold PSA10 stock on.
Miriam (105/078) is the one card from this group we currently hold graded stock on: a PSA10 Miriam 105/078 Special Art Rare, currently listed at ¥41,206 (~$259) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). It’s a Special-Art-Rare-only listing rather than a raw copy, so treat that price as a graded-slab reference point, not a market figure for ungraded copies.
We also carry a PSA10-graded copy from the Art Rare tier: PSA10 Drowzee 086/078 Art Rare, currently listed at ¥10,218 (~$64) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — a more accessible entry point into graded Violet ex product.
Miraidon ex appears twice in the secret tier — Special Art Rare at 102/078 and Ultra Rare at 106/078. They’re different illustrations on different rarity treatments, not duplicates, so check the card number before assuming you already have the other.
When you’re comparing listings for any of these six cards, the card number is the fastest way to confirm you’re looking at the right one — rarity abbreviations (AR, SR, SAR, UR) can vary between how different sellers label the same card, but the printed number on the card itself doesn’t change.
What’s in the Base Set (1–78)
Cards 1 through 78 make up the base set catalogued by Limitless TCG as of August 2026 — the commons, uncommons, and standard rares that fill out the rest of the checklist below the secret tier. Limitless’s full per-card list for this range covers a wider spread of Pokemon than the ex-focused secret tier, including plenty of non-ex, non-Trainer commons and uncommons that don’t carry a chase premium individually.
If you’re building a complete Violet ex master set, the base 78 are generally the easiest cards to source; the 30-card secret tier above is where the hunt (and the price) concentrates. Most set checklists work the same way — the numbered base run is where set completion happens, and the secret tier above it is where individual card value concentrates.
We don’t have a verified per-card breakdown of the base 78 in our sourcing data for this set, so we’re not listing them row by row here. If you need a specific base-set card number identified, our Violet ex (SV1V) card list hub page is the place to check current availability, or send us the number through Quick Order.
Violet ex vs. Scarlet ex
Violet ex (SV1V) and Scarlet ex (SV1S) released on the same day, January 20, 2023, as companion sets — the same pattern the Scarlet & Violet era repeats in later expansions. Per Limitless TCG’s index, the two sets are structurally identical: 108 total catalogued rows each, split into 78 base-set cards and 30 secret-tier cards, with the same 12 Art Rare / 10 Secret Rare / 5 Special Art Rare / 3 Ultra Rare breakdown.
The difference is which legendary ex anchors the secret tier. Violet ex is built around Miraidon ex; Scarlet ex is built around Koraidon ex. Beyond that headline card, most of the Secret Rare and Special Art Rare slots go to different Trainer characters — Arven and Miriam here versus Jacq and Penny in Scarlet ex.
That symmetry is worth knowing if you’re deciding which of the two sets to focus on. Since the rarity math is identical, the decision usually comes down to which mascot and which Trainer characters you want on your shelf rather than one set being structurally “better” than the other — Miraidon ex and its Paldea roster here, versus Koraidon ex and its roster in Scarlet ex.

Where to Buy Violet ex Cards and Sealed Product
We ship Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo. Sealed Violet ex booster boxes are the most direct way to open into this set’s secret tier yourself.
For graded singles, our current in-stock Violet ex listings are the PSA10 Miriam 105/078 Special Art Rare (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) and the PSA10 Drowzee 086/078 Art Rare (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). PSA independently determines authenticity and grade on every slab we list.
Both of those graded listings pair naturally with a sealed booster box order if you’re also hoping to pull your own copies of the remaining Special Art Rares and the Ultra Rare Miraidon ex — the same box that produces base-set commons can also produce any card in the secret tier tables above.
