Complete Set Guide

Scarlet & Violet
Base Set

The inaugural set of the Scarlet & Violet era, featuring Terastal Pokémon ex and over 250 cards including chase cards like Charizard ex and Miriam.

Scarlet & Violet Base Set is the first expansion of the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet era, released March 31, 2023. Based on Japan's Scarlet ex and Violet ex sets, it introduced Pokémon ex, Illustration Rares, and Special Illustration Rares as new chase rarities. The 258-card set's top chase cards include the Gardevoir ex SIR and a surprisingly deep lineup of Illustration Rares — Drowzee, Ralts, Kirlia, and Slowpoke — that consistently outperform the Charizard ex and Miraidon ex SIRs in secondary market value. This complete Scarlet & Violet Base Set card list includes every card with rarity filters and live prices updated daily.

A complete Scarlet & Violet Base Set master set contains 456 cards — 258 main set and secret rare cards plus 198 reverse holos (one for each Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Double Rare). Secret rares do not have reverse holo variants.
