Roaring Moon has only been a Pokemon TCG card since October 2023, and it already has six distinct Japanese printings spread across three sets. If you’re trying to figure out which one you’re holding, or which one to chase, the card number in the corner tells you almost everything.
Roaring Moon is a Paradox Pokemon introduced in the Scarlet & Violet video game era, and every one of its Japanese TCG appearances so far has come out of that same modern block — there’s no older, pre-2023 Roaring Moon card floating around to worry about. That makes the collecting side of this Pokemon fairly contained: six cards, three sets, and a rarity ladder that runs from a standard secret rare up to a special-art chase card.
This guide is a collector’s reference, not a competitive one — we’re not covering tournament usage or deck strategy. What follows is every Japanese Roaring Moon printing, how to tell them apart by number and rarity, which set to buy sealed if you want to pull your own copy, and where the singles and sealed product currently sit in our stock. We ship Japanese sealed boxes and singles out of Tokyo, so the stock information here reflects what we actually carry, not a third-party marketplace snapshot.
Roaring Moon has six Japanese TCG printings across three sets: the debut ex RR in Ancient Roar (SV4K), its SR and UR alt-art siblings in the same set, a non-ex regular card in Wild Force (SV5K), and a reprinted RR plus a chase-tier SAR in Terastal Fest ex (SV8a). All are Scarlet & Violet-era cards — there is no older or vintage Roaring Moon print to look for.
All Roaring Moon printings covered here are Japanese-language cards. Prices referenced for sealed boxes are our current listed prices as of August 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
Every Roaring Moon Printing at a Glance
Roaring Moon is a Paradox Pokemon that entered the Japanese TCG in late 2023. Here is every confirmed printing, in release order, along with the number and rarity you’d need to match against a card in hand:
| Carta | Number | Rarity | Set | Release |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roaring Moon ex | 054/066 | RR | Ancient Roar (SV4K) | Oct 2023 |
| Roaring Moon ex (alt art) | 084/066 | SR | Ancient Roar (SV4K) | Oct 2023 |
| Roaring Moon ex (alt art) | 093/066 | UR | Ancient Roar (SV4K) | Oct 2023 |
| Roaring Moon | 051/071 | R | Wild Force (SV5K) | Jan 2024 |
| Roaring Moon ex (reprint) | 101/187 | RR | Terastal Fest ex (SV8a) | Dec 2024 |
| Roaring Moon ex (alt art) | 218/187 | SAR | Terastal Fest ex (SV8a) | Dec 2024 |
Two things stand out. First, five of the six printings are the ex version — the non-ex regular card in Wild Force is the only exception. Second, the Ancient Roar set alone produced three separate Roaring Moon ex prints in three different secret-rare tiers, which is why that set is the one to know if you’re trying to identify a card.
Each rarity abbreviation marks a distinct print treatment, not just a cosmetic variant — RR, SR, UR and SAR are separate collecting targets even though several of them show the same Roaring Moon ex on the same set of stats. Ancient Roar’s base numbering runs to 066, so two of its Roaring Moon cards — 084/066 and 093/066 — sit past that point, alongside the standard 054/066 RR within the base count. The same pattern repeats in Terastal Fest ex, where the base count is 187 and the SAR at 218/187 sits well past it.
The TCG Debut: Roaring Moon ex RR (Ancient Roar)
Roaring Moon’s first Japanese TCG appearance was the ex RR at 054/066 in Ancient Roar (SV4K), released October 27, 2023. This is the card that gave Roaring Moon its ex treatment for the first time, and it’s the standard, most-printed version among the three Ancient Roar Roaring Moon cards.
If you’re just looking for one Roaring Moon card for a collection or a binder, this is the entry point — the base ex illustration in the set’s regular secret-rare slot, before the alt-art versions escalate in scarcity. It’s also the card every later Roaring Moon ex print traces back to: the 101/187 reprint in Terastal Fest ex uses the same ex card, reissued in a different set two sets later.
The Alt-Art Tier: SR and UR from Ancient Roar
Ancient Roar didn’t stop at one Roaring Moon ex. The same card also has a full alt-art SR at 084/066 and a UR at 093/066, both sitting past the set’s main numbering (the base set runs to 066) in the secret-rare block. These are the printings most likely to draw collector attention from that set, since they use different artwork treatments than the standard RR.
We don’t have secondary-market pricing to compare these two against each other — what we can say for certain is that both sit in higher secret-rare tiers than the RR, and both are Ancient Roar exclusives; neither has been reprinted in the two later sets that carry Roaring Moon cards. For a collector, that exclusivity is the practical takeaway: the SR and UR artwork only exists in Ancient Roar packs, so a sealed Ancient Roar box is the only route to pulling either one yourself.
The fastest way to tell all three Ancient Roar Roaring Moon cards apart is the number in the corner — 054/066 for the RR, 084/066 for the SR, and 093/066 for the UR. Since the set’s regular numbering stops at 066, any of these three showing up in a pull is worth checking against those three numbers specifically.
The Non-Ex Card: Roaring Moon (Wild Force)
Wild Force (SV5K), released January 26, 2024, is home to the only non-ex Roaring Moon card in the Japanese TCG: a regular-rarity print at 051/071. Every other printing covered in this guide is the ex version, so this is the one card in the lineup that shows the base-form artwork without the ex frame and stat boost.
It also arrived roughly three months after the Ancient Roar debut, sitting between that set and the December 2024 Terastal Fest ex release. For collectors building a set-by-set run of every card a Pokemon has appeared on, this is a required stop — it’s the only place the plain, non-ex version exists, and skipping Wild Force means skipping a full third of the Roaring Moon TCG lineup by set count.
The Reprint and the Chase Card: Terastal Fest ex
Terastal Fest ex (SV8a), released December 6, 2024, brought Roaring Moon back with a standard RR reprint at 101/187 — effectively a second circulation of the base ex illustration — alongside a new SAR at 218/187, a special-art secret rare sitting well past the base 187-card count.
The 218/187 SAR is the highest rarity tier Roaring Moon has reached in the Japanese TCG so far, and the newest of the six printings. If you’re specifically hunting the top of the Roaring Moon lineup, this is the card, and Terastal Fest ex is the set to look for it in.
Terastal Fest ex is also the only set to give Roaring Moon two separate slots in the same release — the reprinted RR for collectors who want the standard version in a newer set, and the SAR for the chase. Combined with the three Ancient Roar cards and the single Wild Force card, that brings the full lineup to six printings across just over a year of Japanese TCG releases.
How to Collect Roaring Moon Cards
Individual Roaring Moon singles aren’t in our current stock snapshot — if you’re after a specific card or grade, you can request a restock via our Quick Order page. In the meantime, sealed boxes from each of the three sets are the direct route to these cards:
| Set | Contains | Our listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Ancient Roar (SV4K) | RR, SR & UR Roaring Moon ex | ¥10,400–13,362 (~$65–84) (actualización: agotado — pide reposición vía Quick Order) |
| Wild Force (SV5K) | Regular non-ex Roaring Moon | ¥12,480–14,790 (~$78–93) |
| Terastal Fest ex (SV8a) | RR reprint & chase SAR | ¥19,570–20,196 (~$123–127) |
Because the lineup only spans three sets released within about fourteen months of each other, all of them recent Scarlet & Violet-era releases, none of the three requires hunting down a decades-old vintage box to track down. Which box makes sense depends on which specific card you’re after:
- Want a shot at all three Ancient Roar prints (RR, SR, UR)? Ancient Roar (SV4K) (actualización: agotado — pide reposición vía Quick Order) is the only box that can produce any of the three.
- Want the only non-ex Roaring Moon? Wild Force (SV5K) is the sole source of the 051/071 regular print.
- Want the current chase-tier SAR? Terastal Fest ex (SV8a) is the only box carrying the 218/187, alongside a second copy of the standard RR.
Ancient Roar is the one worth prioritizing if your goal is Roaring Moon specifically — it’s the only set with three different Roaring Moon printings in one box, so opening Ancient Roar packs is the only way to potentially pull the RR, the SR, and the UR from a single product line. Terastal Fest ex is the pick if the 218/187 SAR is the specific card you want, since it’s the only set that contains it, and Wild Force is the only route to the non-ex 051/071.
If you’d rather buy the card directly than open packs for it, that’s where our Quick Order page comes in — it lets you request a specific card and number rather than relying on a pull. Grading is a separate question from which printing you own: if you’re buying or submitting a graded copy, remember that PSA independently determines authenticity and grade, and that applies the same way across all six Roaring Moon printings.
