Acquisition Strategy

  • • Monitor price trends - chase cards often fluctuate based on tournament results and influencer coverage
  • • Consider condition flexibility - a LP/MP copy can save 30-50% on vintage cards
  • • Check multiple marketplaces - prices vary significantly between TCGPlayer, eBay, and local stores
  • • Buy during market dips - major releases and reprints often cause temporary price drops

About this set

What the Kitakami folklore theme did for this set's illustration work is pretty clear when you look at the SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. tier side by side with earlier SV sets. Greninja ex's swirling water and shadow, Carmine's mask-lit portrait, Perrin's meta-illustration concept (a trainer photographing another card's artwork visible in her camera lens), Bloodmoon Ursaluna's dual celestial backdrop. The illustrators had unusually evocative source material and it shows. ACE SPECs added competitive weight beyond what the typical set release provides; Buddy-Buddy Poffin went straight into tournament decks and stayed there. The Ogerpon ex quad (four distinct Tera forms with four distinct mask designs) gave collectors a natural sub-target to pursue independently from a full master set. At 373 total cards the master set is also genuinely completable without feeling like a multi-year project, which is not something you can say about the larger SV sets.

Where Twilight Masquerade fits in the era

Twilight Masquerade released May 24, 2024 as the sixth expansion in the Scarlet & Violet series. The Japanese counterpart, Transformation Mask, came out April 26, 2024. The set draws from the Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the first story DLC for a mainline game in years, set in the rural Kitakami region. At 167 base cards it sits in a comfortable middle range for the SV era: bigger than earlier compact sets, but short of the card count bloat in Paradox Rift (266) or Temporal Forces (162). The set brought ACE SPEC cards back to the modern format, reprinting powerful vintage mechanics as one-per-deck tools that immediately showed up in tournament results. Greninja ex's SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. treatment became one of the more talked-about chase cards of the mid-SV era, and the set traded well commercially despite pull rates that frustrated collectors at launch. The Kitakami folklore aesthetic (yokai-style masks, rural festivals, moonlit forests) gave it a visual distinctiveness from the urban Paldea-focused sets that preceded it.

Collecting challenges

Twilight Masquerade is 373 cards total: 167 base, 147 reverse holos, 59 secret rares. The pull rates were brutal at launch and have not gotten easier by 2026. A single booster box yields less than one SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. on average, which means you cannot reliably open your way to a complete secret rare pool without spending far more than singles would cost. Greninja ex SIR #214 is the main culprit. The 11 SIRs and 6 Hyper Rares together account for roughly 60-70% of total master set budget, so completing the high-value tier requires a deliberate singles strategy. Booster boxes have been off retail shelves for over a year and now trade at a premium on the secondary market. The practical approach is 2-3 ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. or a Masks of Ogerpon Premium Collection for base set bulk and most reverse holos, then singles for every secret rare. Give yourself 4-6 months. Rushing leads to overpaying on cards like Perrin and Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex that dip 10-20% after competitive format rotation announcements.

Local Game Stores

Pricing: MSRP · Reliability: medium

Best for: Best remaining chance at near-MSRP ETBs and Build & Battle boxes

Some LGS still carry leftover Twilight Masquerade ETBs and Build & Battle at or near MSRP. Worth checking for non-booster-box sealed. Also check for singles with competitive pricing compared to online platforms.

eBay

Pricing: Market · Reliability: medium

Best for: PSA-graded cards and bulk lot purchases for base set completion

Use completed sold listings to verify current PSA 10 premiums before bidding. Bulk commons/uncommon lots are available cheap for base set completion. Verify high-value SIR authenticity before buying; counterfeit risk increases as values rise.

When to buy

Weeks 1–4
Launch

Singles panic-priced. Sealed carries 30–50% premium. Wait if you can.

Months 2–4
Stabilization

Best window for singles. Chase cards find their floor.

Months 4–12
Reprint watch

Bulk dips 15–20% on reprint news. Chase cards stay steady.

Year 2+
Long term

Sealed and top chase cards begin appreciation cycle.

Collecting strategy

Most cards in this set are worth around $0.32 as singles. Opening packs is the fun way to build your base of commons and uncommons with a chance at lucky pulls — but chase cards are statistically unlikely from sealed product. For most master set collectors, the smart approach is packs for bulk, singles for the rest.

Estimated Cost
$1,300
Timeframe
3-6 months

Mix of singles and strategic pack opening

1Buy singles for cards over $5
2Open booster boxes for bulk acquisition
3Target NM condition for valuable cards
4Include key reverse holofoils
5Use multiple marketplaces for best prices
The route for this set

Buy 1-2 ETBs at near-MSRP for pack experience and base set coverage, then purchase all SIRs and Hyper Rares as singles in NM condition. Target Greninja ex SIR first. Fill out the reverse holo set through ETB openings and targeted singles for the high-value holos. Budget includes grading 1-2 top cards (Greninja ex, Carmine) through bulk submission. 3-6 month timeline assumes singles stay consistently available through TCGPlayer.

Community insights

From collector discussions, forums, and social media.

What collectors are saying

  • Collectors consistently describe Twilight Masquerade pull rates as 'brutal.' Reddit threads from launch week are full of ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. openers who pulled only Double Rares like Palafin ex and Screamtail ex across all nine packs, with many calling it the worst hit rate since Temporal Forces two months earlier.
  • Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #214 caused immediate hype at release. Competitive players recognized its Shinobi Blade attack as tournament-viable, collectors wanted it for the water-ninja illustration, and the combined demand drove early prices past every other card in the set by a wide margin.
  • Ogerpon's four Teal/Hearthflame/Wellspring/Cornerstone ex forms split collector interest. Some targeted all four for a thematic Ogerpon sub-collection; others focused only on Wellspring Mask ex for competitive reasons and ignored the rest.
  • Carmine SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #217 sparked ongoing debate about whether trainer SIRs hold value longer than Pokémon SIRs. She debuted at an unusually high price for a supporter at launch and has held value better than most comparable supporters from earlier sets, which surprised a lot of people who predicted a faster drop.
  • The Kitakami DLC theme divided collectors. Gen 9 players who completed The Teal Mask DLC felt genuine connection to the characters and locations. Those who skipped the DLC found the lore context less compelling and bought the set purely for artwork rather than any nostalgic attachment.
  • Perrin SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #220 got a lot of collector buzz for a trainer with narrow competitive utility. The meta-illustration concept (a trainer photographing another card's artwork reflected in her camera lens) was called 'the most creative SIR concept in years' on multiple forums, driving demand past what competitive playability alone would justify.
  • Sealed booster boxes traded at roughly 2x MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. through mid-2025 before stabilizing a notch higher. Collectors who held sealed from launch did significantly better than those who opened immediately, which has become a recurring lesson with SV-era sets.
  • The ACE SPEC mechanic divided opinion. Competitive players valued them for tournament play (one per deck, pulling at roughly 1 per 20 packs). Master set collectors took a more pragmatic view: at least one ACE SPEC per box gives a reliable mid-tier hit in a set where everything else pulls tight.

Tips from the community

  • The master set is 373 cards total: 167 base + 147 reverse holos + 59 secret rares. A standard 420-card 9-pocket binder fits all of them with room left over, which puts this on the manageable end of SV-era sets.
  • SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. are long odds, and Hyper Rares are longer still. A 36-pack booster box statistically returns less than one SIR. Buy every SIR and Hyper Rare as singles. Do not gamble on sealed for specific chase cards.
  • Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. and Carmine SIR are the two cards that determine whether this master set is affordable or painful. Lock them in before any competitive spike or reprint announcement changes the math.
  • The Teal Mask Ogerpon ex promo included with the Elite Trainer Box is stamped and does not count toward the numbered master set. The card you need is Teal Mask Ogerpon ex #25 from the base set.
  • Open 2-3 booster boxes for bulk commons, uncommons, and most of the 147 reverse holos, then buy remaining singles. This hybrid approach is cheaper than buying all 226 singles individually while still avoiding the sealed gambling trap for SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards..
  • Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #216 is the most underpriced of the main SIRs. The dual-moon aesthetic is striking and the attack is legitimately powerful. It sits noticeably cheaper than Greninja and Carmine without a clear reason why.
  • The Masks of Ogerpon Premium Collection (10 packs, 2 stamped promos) came out June 2024. It's the best remaining way to get SV6 packs near MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. now that booster boxes are long gone from retail.
  • Sealed booster boxes trade at roughly 2.3x MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more.. Opening a box at that price to hunt SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. is genuinely bad math. The only case for buying sealed now is if you want it as a collectible artifact.

Market insights

  • Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #214/167 carries a PSA · Professional Sports AuthenticatorThe largest card grading company. A PSA 10 is its top grade and carries the biggest price premium. 10 premium of roughly 3x raw as of early 2026. Tournament playability and collector demand operate independently here, which is what separates it from most SIRs where the value depends entirely on one or the other.
  • Booster boxes climbed to about 2.3x MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. on secondary markets by April 2026, two years after launch. For SV-era sets, that's a strong sealed appreciation curve.
  • SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. pull at 1:68-78 packs and Hyper Rares at 1:146, both tighter than Paradox Rift (1:82 for Hypers) and well below early SV sets (1:54). Tighter pull rates have pushed raw card values higher across the entire secret rare pool.
  • Perrin SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #220 stabilized after early volatility. It has narrower competitive utility than Carmine but the meta-illustration artwork concept drives collector demand that keeps it priced above what tournament playability alone would justify.
  • Completing the master set via singles buying is a four-figure project, with the total depending on timing. Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. alone accounts for roughly 12-15% of that total.
  • Carmine SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #217 settled into a range that tracks closely with Iono's price performance from Paldea Evolved. Supporters with powerful draw effects tend to hold floor prices even after rotating from Standard format, since casual and collector demand picks up where competitive demand drops.
  • The 6 Hyper Rare gold cards trade in a fairly tight band. Buddy-Buddy Poffin commands the most within the tier due to its widespread competitive use across multiple deck archetypes.
  • The Kitakami DLC connection has kept collector demand more stable than sets where value depends purely on competitive rotation. Gen 9 players who completed the DLC still buy the set for sentimental reasons, which provides a demand floor that purely competitive sets lose when they rotate.

Watch out for

  • SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. pulls are long odds. A 36-pack booster box yields less than one SIR on average. Do not open sealed product expecting to pull Greninja ex or Carmine. Buy those singles directly.
  • Hyper Rares pull noticeably less often here than in Paradox Rift or the early SV sets. At current secondary box prices you are paying a steep per-pack cost with no guarantee of hitting anything above a Double Rare.
  • The stamped Teal Mask Ogerpon ex ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. promo is not part of the numbered master set. Neither is the Pokemon Center promo variant. Do not pay inflated prices for them unless you are specifically building a promo collection.
  • Booster boxes trade at a large multiple of MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more.. Retail MSRP is gone. If you are buying sealed now, assume secondary market prices, verify authenticity on high-value boxes, and only open if the experience itself is worth the cost to you.

Do not expect MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. pricing from Amazon, Target, or Best Buy.

Scarlet & Violet Twilight Masquerade grading guide

Which Scarlet & Violet Twilight Masquerade cards are worth the $20+/card grading fee? PSA 10 premiums vary significantly by rarity tier. See our complete grading guide for how grading works, costs, and international submission options.

Tier 1 - Strong Case for Grading

Worth grading
Greninja ex SIR #214/167
PSA 10: $900-1,100Raw: $315-325Premium: 2.8x-3.4x

The set's flagship with competitive and collector demand that operate independently. PSA 10 premium is significant and consistent. Submit only copies with 60/40+ centering. PSA 10 rate estimated 10-15% given standard SV print quality. Use bulk submission to lower per-card cost.

Tier 2 - Selective Grading

Worth grading
Carmine SIR #217/167, Perrin SIR #220/167, Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex SIR #216/167
PSA 10: $280-480Raw: $52-130Premium: 2.5x-3.5x

Strong artwork-driven collector cards with meaningful PSA 10 premiums. Carmine and Perrin have held trainer-SIR value well. Grade only pristine copies; centering is the main failure point on SV-era cards. Only worth grading if you have investment intent given what fees cost.

Tier 3 - Situational Grading

Worth grading
Teal Mask Ogerpon ex SIR #225/167, Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex SIR #226/167, Buddy-Buddy Poffin Hyper Rare #233/167, Kieran SIR #218/167
PSA 10: $120-280Raw: $40-100Premium: 2x-3x

Cards with specific collector appeal or competitive use. Buddy-Buddy Poffin's widespread competitive use supports value retention. Grade only near-mint copies with good centering if you plan to hold long-term.

Tier 4 - Not Worth Grading

Skip grading
Standard Illustration Rares, Double Rares (ex standard), Reverse holos, Common/Uncommon cards
PSA 10: $15-40Raw: $3-25Premium: 1.5x-2x

Grading fees of $20-75+ per card exceed value premium for this tier. Store raw in side-loading binder pages. ACE SPEC cards are borderline; only grade pristine copies of the competitively significant ones.

Before you submit — PSA checklist, fees, and tips▾

PSA 10 requirements

Centering
55/45 minimum front and back. Modern SIRs frequently fail here — pre-screen every candidate.
Corners
Sharp, no whitening under magnification. Sleeve the moment you pull the card.
Surface
No scratches, print lines, or holo damage. SIR foils are especially vulnerable from the factory.
Edges
No chipping or fraying. Inspect under bright light.

PSA service tiers

Value
$20/card, 4–6 month turnaround. Right for raw values $75–500.
Regular
$50/card, 6–8 week turnaround. Right for raw values $500+.
Express
$75–150/card, 2–3 week turnaround. Only worth it above $1,000 raw.

Budget for a 5-card submission: $135–170 once you add shipping, insurance, and supplies.

Tips from experienced submitters

  • • Pre-screen with a loupe — 70%+ of modern cards fail centering.
  • • PSA Collectors Club ($99/year) pays for itself with 2–3 value-tier submissions.
  • • Ship in batches of 10+ to amortize shipping and insurance.
  • • PSA 9 typically sells at 40–60% of PSA 10 — still a premium over raw.

Storage & protection

Protect your 373-card Scarlet & Violet Twilight Masquerade master set with archival binders, perfect-fit sleeves, and top loaders for the chase cards. Plan on $150–250 for complete coverage.

Premium binders

Dragon Shield Codex · $30–50

Archival pages, side-loading pockets, acid-free. For 373 cards, plan on 21 double-sided 9-pocket pages.

Perfect-fit sleeves

Every card · $30–50 total

Prevent micro-scratches from sliding cards in and out of binder pockets. You'll need roughly 4 packs for full coverage.

Top loaders

Chase cards · $15–25/pack

Rigid protection for SIRs and grading candidates. Essential for anything over $50 raw.

Why are Twilight Masquerade pull rates considered so bad?▾

SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. and Hyper Rares both pull noticeably tighter here than in earlier Scarlet & Violet sets, Paradox Rift included. A 36-pack booster box statistically yields less than one SIR, which means many collectors open full ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. (9 packs) and come away with nothing above a Double Rare. Some boxes run better than average, some worse, but the expected value math clearly favors buying singles.

What are the ACE SPEC cards and do they count toward the master set?▾

ACE SPEC cards are powerful items and supporters restricted to one per deck in competitive play, a mechanic originally from the BW era that SV6 brought back to the modern format. Twilight Masquerade has 6 ACE SPECs (#139-144 in the numbered set). They pull at roughly 1 per 20 packs, which makes them one of the more reliably obtainable mid-tier hits per box. All 6 are part of the numbered base set and count toward master set completion.

How does Twilight Masquerade compare to Temporal Forces (released March 2024)?▾

Both sets had tight pull rates that frustrated collectors. Hyper Rare odds were similarly long in both, and both were worse than earlier SV sets. The main difference is chase card appeal: Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. became a top-tier target for players and collectors together, while Temporal Forces had more spread-out chase interest across multiple cards without one clear flagship. Sealed box appreciation reflects this: Twilight Masquerade boxes now trade at roughly double the price of Temporal Forces boxes.

Are there any exclusive promos required for a complete collection?▾

The full numbered set plus 147 reverse holos makes the core 373-card master set. No exclusive promos are required for this. The set does have promo cards: a stamped Teal Mask Ogerpon ex in the ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. and stamped Hearthflame/Wellspring Ogerpon ex versions in the Masks of Ogerpon Premium Collection. Those are optional for completionists who want a full promo set, not required for the numbered master set.

Is Twilight Masquerade still a good set to collect in 2026?▾

Yes, with caveats. The Kitakami folklore aesthetic has held collector appeal better than most sets from this era, and Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards.'s tournament utility provides a value floor that collector-only sets do not have. The sealed box appreciation since release reflects real sustained demand. That said, collecting costs are higher than at launch, MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. product is gone from retail, and you are working entirely on secondary market prices now. Budget accordingly and buy singles for everything above Double Rare rarity.

What is a realistic budget to complete the Twilight Masquerade master set?▾

Plan to buy singles strategically over 4-6 months. Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. alone accounts for roughly 12-15% of total cost, the biggest single line item. If you want to open some sealed for the experience, add 2-3 ETB · Elite Trainer BoxA retail box with booster packs (usually nine), a promo card, sleeves, dice and Energy cards. at secondary market prices to cover bulk commons and most reverse holos, then buy the rest as singles. A full sealed-product approach to master set completion does not make financial sense. You would spend several times the singles budget opening packs to pull the full secret rare pool.

Which cards in Twilight Masquerade have the best long-term investment potential?▾

Greninja ex SIR · Special Illustration RareThe top full-art rarity for Pokemon ex and Trainer cards, and usually a set's most valuable cards. #214 has the strongest long-term case because collector and competitive demand are separate. When Greninja rotates from Standard format, collector interest will sustain the floor. Carmine SIR #217 tracks closely with how trainer SIRs like Iono from Paldea Evolved have performed, and that trajectory has been consistent. Sealed booster boxes have appreciated 2.3x from MSRP · Suggested retail priceThe official US retail price set by The Pokemon Company. Stores and resellers often charge more. and carry lower risk than individual singles. Avoid treating regular Illustration Rares as investments; they trade for little and drop fast when new sets release.
