Paradox Rift (SV04) released on November 3, 2023 as the fourth main expansion of the Scarlet & Violet Series, and it brought the Paradox Pokémon into the game as Ancient and Future cards. The official page draws the line between them: Ancient Pokémon have high HP and strong, high-cost attacks, Future Pokémon trade on speed and technique with low-cost attacks and retreats, and Ancient and Future Trainer cards support their own side. Roaring Moon ex and Iron Valiant ex are the faces of the set and of its two Elite Trainer Boxes. It also brought back Technical Machines, Pokémon Tool cards that give any Pokémon a new attack and are discarded at the end of the turn, and it kept the type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex going: Mewtwo ex is a Lightning type here, and Garchomp ex Terastallizes too. The official page points at Gholdengo ex (its Coin Bonus Ability draws a card a turn, two from the Active Spot), Aegislash ex (Peerless Edge reaches 350 damage on your last Prize card), the Area Zero scenes on the Roaring Moon ex and Iron Valiant ex Special Illustration Rares, and the library cards of Shauntal and Professor Sada.
This page is the reference list: every Paradox Rift card in set order, with the rarity names printed on the cards and used by most price trackers, the illustrator credit, and the card text. The other Scarlet & Violet era lists so far: Scarlet & Violet, Paldea Evolved, Obsidian Flames, Scarlet & Violet 151. For pull-rate math and buying advice on a hard set, our Pitch Black pull rates article covers that; the 30th Celebration guide is the friendly end of the scale.
Paradox Rift has 266 cards. Numbers 001 to 182 are the main set (every card is printed as its number over 182), and 183 to 266 are the 84 secret rares, whose number is higher than the set size. Rarity names below are the ones printed on the cards. Every tier in the set, with the card numbers it occupies:
| Rarity | Cards | Numbers | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 81 | 001/182 to 169/182 | The bulk of the set. Non-holo. |
| Uncommon | 54 | 002/182 to 182/182 | Non-holo; most Trainer cards sit here. |
| Rare | 27 | 018/182 to 158/182 | Holo rares: the regular print of the set's stronger non-ex Pokémon. |
| Double Rare | 20 | 003/182 to 156/182 | Every Pokémon ex in its regular art, Tera Pokémon ex included. |
| Ultra Rare | 28 | 217/182 to 244/182 | Full-art Pokémon ex and Supporters. |
| Illustration Rare | 34 | 183/182 to 216/182 | Scene-style alternate art of a non-ex Pokémon, each by a named illustrator. |
| Special Illustration Rare | 15 | 245/182 to 259/182 | The premium alternate-art Pokémon ex and Supporters. |
| Hyper Rare | 7 | 260/182 to 266/182 | Gold etched cards: Pokémon ex, Trainer cards and Basic Energy. |

Figures come from two community trackers that agree: a tracker's odds table and a 570-pack collector tally (both named in our notes). They are community-tracked, rounded, and not official Pokémon numbers; a single box can land anywhere around them.
| Rarity | Odds per pack | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Double Rare | about 1 in 6 to 7 packs | Five or six per 36-pack box. |
| Ultra Rare | about 1 in 13 to 15 packs | Two or three per box. |
| Illustration Rare | about 1 in 12 to 13 packs | About three per box, for any of the 34. |
| Special Illustration Rare | about 1 in 47 to 52 packs | Roughly two in three boxes, for any of the 15 SIRs. |
| Hyper Rare | about 1 in 82 packs | Under one gold per two boxes, for any of the seven. |
The practical reading: the odds above are for any card of that tier. The odds of the one card you are chasing are those odds divided by the number of cards in the tier, which is why a specific Special Illustration Rare is usually cheaper to buy as a single than to open for.
This is where the era's odds tightened. The three 2023 main sets and 151 ran a Special Illustration Rare at about 1 in 32 packs and a gold at about 1 in 50; Paradox Rift moved them to about 1 in 47 and about 1 in 82, and Temporal Forces went further, to about 1 in 85 and about 1 in 139. The Mega Evolution Series is harder still; our Pitch Black article walks through that math.
Paradox Rift is an illustration rare set at the top. When this page was built, Market Insights ranked Groudon (199/182), Morpeko (206/182) and Plusle (193/182) above every Special Illustration Rare, with Minun (194/182), Steelix (208/182) and Mantyke (189/182) close behind, so the Plusle and Minun pair and the Steelix construction-site card the official page highlights are the cards people chase. Among the SIRs, Altaria ex (253/182) by Jiro Sasumo led, then Garchomp ex (245/182), Roaring Moon ex (251/182) and Gholdengo ex (252/182); Parasol Lady led the Supporters. The Garchomp ex gold (260/182) was the highest Hyper Rare, and the four gold Trainer and Energy cards did not reach the first page of the ranking at all.

34 illustration rares, numbered 183 to 216, the deepest tier of any set in this run. The official page names Toedscruel and Blitzle lurking in a forest, Wimpod exploring a flooded structure and Steelix working beside humans at a construction site; Swablu (213) by Jiro Sasumo leads into his Altaria ex Special Illustration Rare, and the Plusle and Minun pair (193, 194) is by OKACHEKE. The artist is in the caption when you tap or click a card.

We do not print prices in our guides because they go stale fast. TCGGuy Market Insights tracks every Paradox Rift sealed product nightly, with a set index, seven-day movers and each product's history, and the singles page ranks every card in the set by market value.
Bottom line: Paradox Rift is the deepest set of the era's first year for illustration rares and the first one with the tighter odds, so its value sits in the 34 illustration rares rather than in one chase card. Open it for the Ancient and Future lineup and the art; buy Groudon or Altaria ex as a single if that specific card is the goal, because at about 1 in 47 packs for any SIR the single is the reliable route.
