Series: Scarlet & Violet
Temporal Forces Release Date: March 22, 2024
Set Abbreviation: TEF
Honorable Mention: Bianca's Devotion (Special Illustration Rare) – $19.67
Card Number: #209/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Bianca's Devotion started out as one of the powerhouses of Temporal Forces upon release, with its impressive healing potential and cozy artwork. While it has fallen out of the Top 10, it’s still worth mentioning as a great hit for Full Art Trainer Club members.
10. Deerling (Illustration Rare) – $20.34
Card Number: #165/162
Rarity: Illustration Rare
One half of a beautifully colorful two-part card art set, Deerling can be seen running through the seasons it can change with. Connecting to the Sawsbuck Illustration Rare, it gives off the vibe of a fawn chasing its parent.
9. Sawsbuck (Illustration Rare) – $25.99
Card Number: #166/162
Rarity: Illustration Rare
The other half of the connected card art with Deerling, the Sawsbuck, brings the art full circle. It can also be seen looking back toward the Deerling when the cards are placed side by side, with an almost typical parental frustration, waiting for its child to catch up.
8. Iron Leaves ex (Special Illustration Rare) – $26.33
Card Number: #203/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Another major hit from the set that has seen a series of de-rankings over time, Iron Leaves ex is still in the Top 10, but it’s also very affordable. With incredible texture and a vibrant use of greens and blues, this card is definitely an underrated gem worth picking up!
7. Gouging Fire ex (Special Illustration Rare) – $35.14
Card Number: #204/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
A portrait of ferocity, this Past Paradox form of Entei more closely resembles its modern-day counterpart than either of the others in the trio. Stalking its prey in the jungle, this card showcases the power inherited by Entei, accompanied by stunning artwork.
6. Walking Wake ex (Special Illustration Rare) – $39.88
Card Number: #205/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Walking Wake became the fan favorite of the Past Paradox Legendary Beast trio, even serving as one of the ETB mascots for the set. Walking Wake’s Special Illustration Rare depicts the Pokémon hunting through the treetops in a vibrant blue hue.
5. Gengar ex (Hyper Rare) – $41.87
Card Number: #193/162
Rarity: Hyper Rare
It’s not often that a Hyper Rare ranks this high in terms of value when a set contains so many Special Illustration Rares, but this is a testament to the popularity of Gengar, along with its Gnawing Curse ability, which passively adds damage counters to its opponent.
4. Morty's Conviction (Special Illustration Rare) – $42.03
Card Number: #211/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Again reflecting the popularity of Gengar, this Special Illustration Rare shows Morty hanging out at a café after picking up groceries, while Gengar rises from the ground with a Pidgey in its sights.
3. Iron Crown ex (Special Illustration Rare) – $44.61
Card Number: #206/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
An example of elegance and force meshing into a powerful presentation, Iron Crown ex’s Cobalt Command ability makes it a powerhouse teammate for other Future Pokémon, while it commands a regal stance beneath a full moon and pink flowers in the trees.
2. Gastly (Illustration Rare) – $55.51
Card Number: #177/162
Rarity: Illustration Rare
Our third time technically seeing Gengar on this list, this Gastly Illustration Rare shows a full-blown parade of Gastly, Haunter, and yes, Gengar roaming a dimly lit street, while the subject of the card fixes its eyes on a lone Meowth hiding in a nearby alley.
1. Raging Bolt ex (Special Illustration Rare) – $69.91
Card Number: #208/162
Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
Raging Bolt ex became a huge player in the competitive space with its ability to discard and replenish hands, along with energy-discarding attacks that can deliver devastating blows. In terms of art, Raging Bolt stomps through a prehistoric canyon with a fitting lightning storm in the distance.
