Shiny Treasure ex is here or at least, it’s arrived in Japan.
Each year, the Pokemon Trading Card Game receives a reprint set in Japan – which focuses on bringing back many of the year’s best cards.
That’s what the majority of Shiny Treasure ex’s card list is made up of – reprints of cards we’ve only recently seen; however, some of these may have previously been released only in the West, so this set contains cards that will be new to Japanese players.
Not only are there straight reprints of cards in Shiny Treasure ex, but there’s also some absolutely spectacular variants too – with the appearance (or rather, re-appearance) of Shiny Pokemon.
As is often the case, we won’t see this set appearing in its entirety outside of Japan – but many of the unique variants will make an appearance in the upcoming set, Paldean Fates.
Though there are 190 cards in the numbered set for Shiny Treasure ex, the set contains an absolutely mind-blowing 170 Secret Rare cards, meaning you could find cards in booster packs that go all the way up to 360/190!
So let’s take a look at the main set – and then the Secret Rare cards – in Shiny Treasure ex.
What Cards Are In Shiny Treasure ex?
As Shiny Treasure ex is such a big set – with almost the same number of Secret Rares as there are ‘standard’ numbered cards – we thought we’d make things a lot easier by separating them into the basic set, followed by the list of Secret Rares.

Note that the set code for Shiny Treasure ex is sv4a, which you’ll find on the bottom left of each card. This will, of course, be different when Paldean Fates is released worldwide – and the set itself will feature cards that have already been released in Japan as part of other sets that we’ve yet to see.
I’ve mentioned Secret Rares a few times; these are cards that go above and beyond the number of ‘standard’ cards in a set.
So, with that number being 190 in the case of Shiny Treasure ex, any card with a number that goes above 190 is a rarer, alternate art variant of a previous card.
As the number exceeds the ‘standard’ set number, it is then classified as a ‘Secret Rare’ – and that’s because its existence is supposedly a secret.
It’s definitely worth noting that not all Secret Rare cards are as rare as one another – and you can learn more about this in our Pokemon Card Rarities guide.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a look at the Secret Rare cards in Shiny Treasure ex.

What’s New In Shiny Treasure ex?
There’s actually very little in terms of new cards in Shiny Treasure ex – if you’ve kept up with the releases, Japanese or otherwise, for the Pokemon TCG throughout 2023, you’ll no doubt recognise plenty of these cards.
In fact, there’s just 16 new cards in the set overall (not counting alternate art variants).
The new cards are as follows:
- Espathra ex (card numbers 23 and 323)
- Charmeleon (26 and 211)
- Frigibax (51 and 233)
- Kilowattrel (70 and 251)
- Mime Jr (85 and 262)
- Flittle (93 and 270)
- Gimmighoul (99)
- Great Tusk ex (112 and 330)
- Varoom (130 and 300)
- Iron Treads ex (132 and 333)
- Gholdengo (133)
- Cyclizar (136 and 303)
- Nemona’s Rucksack (160)
- Technical Machine: Crisis Strike (170)
- Clive (175, 344 and 352)
- Paldea Students (178, 179, 345 and 346)
You’ll also notice from the images of Secret Rares that there’s a lot of Shinies; this is, of course, where the Shiny Treasure ex set name comes from!
Paradox Pokemon also feature, with Great Tusk ex being an Ancient Pokemon and Iron Treads ex being designated as a Future Pokemon.
Paradox Pokemon made their debut in Paradox Rift – you can check them out on our Paradox Rift Card List.
Technical Machines also made a return to the Pokemon TCG in Paradox Rift, after many years away – the Shiny Treasure ex set features one of these, in the form of Technical Machine: Crisis Strike.
The Gold Hyper Rare cards also look as if they have a new type of card treatment too, with an unusual colour scheme that makes them distinct from previous cards of the same type.
What Are Shinies?
Shinies are cards that show versions of Pokemon that you occasionally find in the digital versions of the game, such as Pokemon Go.
Many of them are different in colour to their usual forms – and all of them have a sort of sparkly effect around them too.
The blue Ditto – as opposed to this Pokemon’s usual pink colour – on card 309 is a good example, but you can see from the above images that there are many more!
