A Growing Storm of Stellar Strength!

Terawatts of electricity crash down from the sky in a tropical paradise, setting the stage for the supercharged Pikachu ex! With the power of a Stellar Tera Pokémon ex, it lights up the shoreline, revealing a parade of dragon Pokémon led by the towering Alolan Exeggutor ex! Archaludon ex and Latias ex round out the horde, while new ACE SPEC cards and more new Pokémon ex bring surprises of their own. Currents crackle and dragons roar in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks expansion!

The Surging Sparks Pokémon Set charges into the Scarlet & Violet Series as its eighth main expansion, landing in English on November 8, 2024. Building on the crystalline power of Stellar Tera Pokémon ex introduced in Stellar Crown, this set plunges trainers into the Terrarium, the bioluminescent heart of The Indigo Disk DLC’s second chapter. Comprising cards from Japan’s Super Electric Breaker and Paradise Dragona expansions, along with the Stellar Tera Type Starter Sets and select SV‑P promos, Surging Sparks offers a rich mix of new and returning faces—each ready to spark up your collection.

On the battlefield, Surging Sparks delivers both shock and strategy. You’ll find nine Stellar Tera Pokémon ex, each wielding gemstone‑infused attacks that demand diverse Energy types, alongside nine classic Pokémon ex that anchor your deck in consistent power. Support comes via eight ACE SPEC cards—featuring game‑shifting Trainers and Special Energies that can only appear once per deck—and 11 Special Illustration Rare Trainer and Pokémon prints that blend stunning artwork with tournament‑legal effects. With 23 Illustration Rares painting Paldea’s wild frontiers and six Hyper Rare gold‑etched treasures glittering like lightning strikes, every pull feels like stepping into a storm of possibility.

Collectors will find Surging Sparks sparking its own lore. Early Elite Trainer Boxes buzzed with rumors of miscut gold‑etched cards—where jagged lightning bolts bleed into the card edges—instantly prized by error‑card enthusiasts. The set symbol, a crackling bolt surrounded by terrarium vines, pops in micro‑etch for those who look closely. And eagle‑eyed fans have spotted that one of the ACE SPEC Special Energy cards subtly incorporates Terrarium crystal motifs, tying form and function together in a flash of designer flair. Whether you’re chasing that perfect Stellar Tera pull or harnessing the power of the Terrarium in your next tournament, the Surging Sparks Pokémon Set lights up the Scarlet & Violet saga like never before.
