Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates (PAF) released in English on 26 January 2024 with 245 cards. Nearly two months earlier, in Japan, the source material was already on shelves as SV4a Shiny Treasure ex — a 360-card 高级包 that, at the time, was the largest Japanese Pokémon TCG set ever printed.
Paldean Fates is the English special set built from Shiny Treasure ex, plus a handful of cards cut from Paradox Rift and some Japanese promos; the whole release is built around Shiny Pokémon. Our Paldean Fates Japanese card list covers the full number-by-number mapping. This guide ranks the ten chase cards worth knowing and shows the Japanese SV4a printing behind each one — including the one case where the Japanese Shiny Ultra Rare print has no matching English Shiny Ultra Rare card at all.
Paldean Fates (EN, 245 cards, 26 Jan 2024) draws its chase cards from Japan’s SV4a Shiny Treasure ex (360 cards, 1 Dec 2023). Our own graded copy of the top card by listed price, PSA10 Penny SAR (SV4a 354/190), is currently listed at ¥15,070. Sealed Japanese boxes are currently listed at ¥19,306 via the SV4a Shiny Treasure ex booster box.
How We Ranked These
This list is ordered two ways, in sequence. First, any card with a live PSA 10 listing on our site goes to the top, ranked by that listing’s price — that puts Penny SAR and Charmander S at #1–#2. Everything after that is ordered by Japanese rarity tier as Limitless prints it on the card: Ultra Rare (UR), then Shiny Ultra Rare (SSR), then Special Art Rare (SAR).
We do not quote third-party market prices (TCGplayer, eBay or PriceCharting) anywhere in this article, and we don’t state pull rates as fact — our Shiny Treasure ex pull rates guide covers that separately. Where we don’t currently list a graded copy, we say so plainly and point you to Quick Order instead of guessing at a market number.
The Top 10 Chase Cards
Every entry below shows the English Paldean Fates card first, then the Japanese Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) printing it was taken from. Illustration credit and rarity are from the Limitless card database. Under Bulbapedia’s rarity split, regular Shiny cards carry the “S” rarity with new artwork, while Shiny Pokémon ex cards carry “SSR” and reuse their prior full-art print artwork.
1. Penny, 239/091 — Special Illustration Rare
Japanese equivalent: Penny, SV4a 354/190, SAR, illustrated by aspara. Same illustrator on both prints.
This exact printing has a live PSA 10 listing on our site: PSA10 Penny SAR (SV4a 354/190), currently listed at ¥15,070 (~$95 at ¥159/USD). Our Penny cards guide covers her other printings.
2. Charmander, 109/091 — Shiny Rare
Japanese equivalent: Charmander, SV4a 210/190 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), S, illustrated by sowsow. Same illustrator on both prints.
Currently listed: PSA10 Charmander S (SV4a 210/190) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) at ¥10,912 (~$69).
3. Koraidon ex, 245/091 — Secret Rare (gold)

5. Charizard ex — no English Shiny Ultra Rare equivalent

English collectors can get Charizard ex in Paldean Fates only as the 054/091 Double Rare or the 234/091 Special Illustration Rare — not in the SSR shiny form the Japanese set prints here.

常见问题
What is Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates?
Paldean Fates (PAF) is the English-language Pokémon TCG special set released 26 January 2024 with 245 cards, built around Shiny Pokémon.
Which Japanese set was Paldean Fates printed from?
SV4a Shiny Treasure ex, a 高级包 that released in Japan on 1 December 2023 with 360 cards — at the time the largest Japanese Pokémon TCG set ever printed. Paldean Fates also adds a small number of cards cut from Paradox Rift and Japanese promos.
How many cards are in each version, and why do the Shiny Ultra Rare counts differ?
The Japanese SV4a set has 360 cards; the English Paldean Fates set has 245 (91 base plus 154 secret rares). SV4a prints 18 Shiny Ultra Rares, but Paldean Fates only carries 12 — six Japanese SSR cards, including Charizard ex (SV4a 331), have no English Shiny Ultra Rare counterpart.

By our own listing prices, Penny SAR (SV4a 354/190) ranks first at ¥15,070 graded PSA 10, followed by Charmander S (SV4a 210/190) at ¥10,912.
Do the English and Japanese versions of these chase cards use the same artwork?
For most of the cards on this list, yes — the same illustrator is credited on both the Japanese and English Limitless card pages. The exception is Charizard ex’s Shiny Ultra Rare slot, which exists only in Japanese SV4a (331/190) with no English Shiny Ultra Rare equivalent at all.
Where can I buy the Japanese Shiny Treasure ex cards from Tokyo?
