Japan's High Class Pokémon TCG Set Shiny Treasure Ex Hits Shelves

Tomorrow, Japan will release the next high class Pokémon TCG set, Shiny Treasure ex, which features an expansive Secret Rare section.

Tomorrow, Japan will release the next high-class Pokémon TCG set: Shiny Treasure ex. This expansion will be like GX Ultra Shiny and Shiny Star V, in that its expansive Secret Rare section will focus on Shiny Pokémon. Like those previous sets, it will feature "Baby" Shinies (a popular fan phrase for non-Full Art Shiny cards) and Full Art ex Shinies. It has already been confirmed that the English-language Pokémon TCG will adapt this high-class Japanese set into an early 2024 special expansion titled Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates. Ahead of this set's release, Secret Rare cards from the set have been posted online. Here's what we now know about this new release.

The Secret Rares include:

• Baby Shiny Pokémon
• Shiny Full Art Pokémon ex
• Shiny Illustration Rares
• Full Art Trainers
• Shiny Special Illustration Rares
• A new kind of Gold Hyper Rare Pokémon ex with a raised foil effect

Shiny Treasure ex will also include God Packs like most high-class sets.
