Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - Paradox Rift: 10 Most Expensive Secret Rare Cards

When it comes to gameplay mechanics, Paradox Rift, the recent expansion to release in the Pokemon TCG: Scarlet and Violet series, has a few dark horse cards to tip the battle in your favor, like the Iron Hands ex and Roaring Moon ex cards.

The set is packed with 13 Pokemon ex, seven Tera Pokemon ex, 34 illustration rares, 15 special illustration rares and Supporter cards, 28 ultra rare full-art Pokemon ex and Supporter cards, and seven hyper rare gold etched cards. Since all the illustration rares serve as secret rares now, we want to highlight the pulls that are worth the most in the marketplace. Here are the 10 most expensive secret rares in Paradox Rift.

All prices discussed in the list reflect their cost at the time of writing.

10 Garchomp Ex

Kicking off the list is the Garchomp ex special illustration rare featuring Picasso-style artwork flaunting a blue and green pastel background. The Pokemon is shown blowing bubbles within a water vortex and this card also carries the Hydro Lander attack dealing 160 damage that allows you to attach up to three Basic F Energy from your discard pile to your Benched Pokemon.

This Garchomp ex card sets the tenth most expensive card around $30-$40 on the marketplace, which is already a pricey way to start your Paradox Rift hunt.

9 Parasol Lady

The first Trainer card on this most expensive list is Parasol Lady, boasting an ethereal design of the trainer bathed in sparkling sunlight while holding an umbrella as she looks up towards the rainbow-kissed clouds as it stops raining. This card is certainly one of the prettiest to look at on this list, and it also allows players to shuffle their hand into their deck and draw four cards.

Parasol Lady is sitting slightly higher in price on the marketplace, just beating Garchomp Ex, but doesn’t exceed the $40 mark just yet.
