Surging Sparks

Series: Scarlet & Violet

Release date: November 8, 2024

Cards: 191 (61 secret)

Set code: SV08

Super Electric Breaker and Paradise Dragona, one Japanese release built on Lightning and one on dragons, were merged to make this expansion, which is why a Pikachu heads it and a parade of dragons follows. Paradise Dragona had been printed without a single Lightning card, so the two halves are complements rather than overlaps. Nine Stellar Tera Pokémon ex carry on a card type that Stellar Crown had introduced two months earlier, and nine ordinary Pokémon ex sit beside them. Eight ACE SPEC cards is the other count worth knowing, since a deck may hold only one ACE SPEC of any sort. The Terarium, the biome dome of The Indigo Disk, is the setting the artwork keeps returning to. Among the eleven special illustration rares, GIDORA's crystal Pikachu ex, Kuroimori's Milotic ex and OKACHEKE's Latias ex are the ones collectors chase. Surging Sparks (SV08) was released on November 8, 2024 in the Scarlet & Violet series, with 191 cards plus 61 secret rares. Its most expensive card is Pikachu ex #238 (Special illustration rare), at $230.00 (median of 9 sales over 7 days, September 30, 2026). A sealed booster box sells for $283.60 (median of 25 sales over 7 days, September 25, 2026).
