Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Base Set launches the Paldea era and establishes the foundation for the entire generation, introducing silver borders, the return of the ex mechanic, and the first wave of Paldea Pokémon and Trainers. This set forms the baseline structure for all Scarlet & Violet releases, with a complete rarity ladder and the first appearance of the modern art‑tier system. Scarlet & Violet Base Set includes the full rarity progression used throughout the generation: Commons and Uncommons forming the core checklist; Reverse Holos providing foil variants of every base card; Holo Rares as the standard rare tier; Double Rares (ex) reintroducing ex cards with upgraded gameplay relevance; Illustration Rares (IR) showcasing unique artwork; Ultra Rares featuring full‑art ex cards; and Special Illustration Rares (SIR) forming the premium art tier.
The Scarlet & Violet Base Set includes chase cards across every rarity tier, starting with key Commons and Uncommons such as Nest Ball, Rare Candy, and Beach Court, which remain high‑demand staples for both collectors and players. Reverse Holos carry strong interest as well, with cards like Lechonk, Flaaffy, Nest Ball, and Arven frequently targeted for reverse‑foil binder completion. The Holo Rare tier features notable pulls including Arcanine, Cyclizar, Clefki, and Revavroom, forming the core holofoil chase group. Double Rares (ex) anchor the mid‑tier chase lineup with Gardevoir ex, Miraidon ex, Koraidon ex, and Arcanine ex driving most of the demand. Illustration Rares (IR) introduce the first art‑tier chase cards, highlighted by Dolliv IR, Flaaffy IR, Lechonk IR, and Pawmi IR. Ultra Rares expand the full‑art chase pool with standout cards such as Gardevoir ex (Full Art), Miraidon ex (Full Art), and Koraidon ex (Full Art). Special Illustration Rares (SIR) form the premium art tier, led by Gardevoir ex SIR, Miraidon ex SIR, Arven SIR, and Jacq SIR as the highest‑value art cards in the set.
