As the saying goes, time waits for no one; in the case of the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) and its relentless release schedule, perhaps that should be adjusted to ‘time waits for no Pokémon fan’! Mere weeks after the release of Paradise Dragona in Japan, the details on the Supercharged Breaker set first began emerging.
Following on from the exciting introduction of Stellar Pokémon in the Japanese set Stellar Miracle, Paradise Dragona focused on Dragon type Pokémon, including more Stellar Pokémon too. So what’s included in the Supercharged Breaker set, which we’ll see heading West, and translated into English, as part of the Surging Sparks set? Let’s take a look!
Supercharged Breaker: Base Set Card Gallery
Without including Secret Rare cards (which we explain, and feature, in the following section of this list), there are 106 cards in the Supercharged Breaker base set; this compares to just 64 cards in the base set for Paradise Dragona.
Sticking with the previous set, Paradise Dragona, it had the sv7a set code on each card, due to it being a ‘mini’ set. As Supercharged Breaker is another full set in terms of the number of cards it has, its set code is sv8. As is always the case, you will find this in white text, in a black box, at the bottom left of each card. Here’s the gallery of images, for all of the cards in the Supercharged Breaker base set:
Supercharged Breaker: Base Set Card List
As the cards in the above gallery are all in Japanese, and with only some of them being recognisable Pokémon, it’s useful to know the name of each card in English. Do note, however, that the card names here aren’t always final; they may be translated with slightly different names when they make their way to an English set (particularly in the case of some Trainer cards):

Supercharged Breaker: Secret Rare Card Gallery
All Pokémon sets have cards that are numbered above the stated number of cards in the set. For example, Supercharged Breaker’s Base Set is composed of 106 cards, but there are also cards numbered from 107 onwards! Any cards you find with numbers above those in the designated number of cards in a set are known as Secret Rares; these will feature alternate art and special foil treatment variants of cards in the Base Set. In some cases, there may be one or two cards from a prior set as a special variant, such as gold Hyper Rare, that it hasn’t been printed in before). With that in mind, let’s take a look at all of the Secret Rare cards for Supercharged Breaker, which number from 107 to 138:
Supercharged Breaker: Secret Rare Card List
Of course, just as is the case with the Base Set card list, all of the card text is Japanese; unless you recognise the card from it’s illustration, you won’t know what the card is. So here are all of the card names from the Secret Rares in Supercharged Breaker, in card number order:
- 107/106 Vivillon
- 108/106 Larvesta
- 109/106 Ceruledge

What’s New In Supercharged Breaker?
Despite Pikachu being rather overfamiliar and definitely overused, is it just me, or is it still exciting to see the most famous Pokémon in Tera Pokémon ex form, as a Stellar Pokémon too? There’s something very appealing about the brightly coloured, shiny and sparkling Stellar Pokémon cards; Pikachu’s card is no exception!
So what does Pikachu do, in game terms? Well, the ability on the card stops Pikachu from being knocked out in one hit if it has full health; instead of being knocked out by a 200+HP attack, instead the plucky electric mouse is reduced to 10 HP. Of course, you’ll need a plan for the turn after that happens, but it’s great to have this ability to give you an extra turn to figure out what to do next!
Of course, that extra turn might be all you need to succeed, seeing as Pikachu’s Topaz Bolt attack deals an incredible 300 HP of damage. Bear in mind, however, that as a Stellar Pokémon, it requires a combination of Energy types to use; in this instance, it’s one Grass, one Lightning and one Metal Energy. As an extra cost to use the attack, you must also discard 3 Energy cards from the Pikachu; however, that devastating amount of damage might just win you the game.
There’s also more Ace Spec cards; let’s take a look at one of them: Miracle Intercom. This is pretty straightforward in terms of what it can do: it allows you to retrieve up to 2 Supporter cards from your discard pile into your hand. Have you lost a Professor’s Research or two, or maybe a couple of Boss’s Orders? Both are staples of many decks, and quite often it’d be so useful to have access to ones you’ve used again, and Miracle Intercom allows you to do just that.
Of course, being an Ace Spec card, you can only have a single Miracle Intercom in your deck at a time (and no other Ace Spec cards at all), so you can’t rely on it to come up in every game you play, but it could help in being the last ditch attempt to save yourself from a bad situation!
We’ve also seen the Alolan Dugtrio card, the above example of which isn’t strictly part of the Supercharged Breaker set; note that its code, rather than being sv8, is PROMO, and its card number is 173/SV-P. This denotes its status as a Scarlet & Violet series promo card; one that features the hilariously bewigged, Alolan variant of Dugtrio. Note, however, it is part of the Secret Rare list in Supercharged Breaker, being card number 116/106.
When Will Supercharged Breaker Be Released?
The official release date for Supercharged Breaker in Japan is October 18th, 2024; all cards have now been fully revealed. Are you excited to see what cards are included here? Which cards are you looking forward to, when they emerge from Japan into the English set, Surging Sparks?
We’ve also covered previous Japanese sets, such as Paradise Dragona; for some collectors, Japanese cards hold a certain appeal, and the Japanese versions of cards can often be cheaper to get hold of than some of their more expensive English language counterparts too!
Take a look at our upcoming Japanese Pokémon sets guide for further information on what’s coming up in Japan, which always gives us a great preview of what to expect from new English sets!
