Surging Sparks
A 2024 set, 252 cards. What is in Surging Sparks, what is actually rare in it, and what the cards worth chasing are going for. Pikachu ex leads them at the moment.
That is the Surging Sparks set symbol. Every card in the set prints it at the bottom, beside the collector number. Holding a card and not sure which set it is?
The ones you want
Top chase cards
Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. These are the same eight rows the checklist further down prints, sorted by price, so the two agree by construction. Singles move fast, so treat them as a ballpark rather than a quote.
The PSA 10 figures are graded sales data from pricecharting.com, a different measurement from the guide values above and read separately, so the two are not one reading. The date printed beside a graded figure is the day it was read. A PSA 10 is a card somebody has paid to have graded and sealed at the top grade, so it is not what the same card is worth loose in your hand.
Where the value sits
Where the money is
Buy one copy of every card in Surging Sparks at its guide value and you would spend $1,336.61. Half of it sits in 6 cards. The other 246 come to $636.96 between them, which is $2.59 a card.

What those 6 are worth
half of the $1,337 the whole checklist comes to
In plain terms: a handful of cards carry the set and everything else is bulk. That is normal, it is true of nearly every modern set, and it is worth knowing before you buy a box hoping to "get your money back".
Added up from the 252 prices in the checklist below. Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. This is what buying one of each card would cost. It is not what a booster box is worth, and it is not the chance of pulling anything: nobody outside The Pokemon Company has pull rates, so you will not find any on this site.

What we have opened of this set
Sealed product we have been through, counted from the rip log rather than from the video count. A box counts once however many videos it took to get through it.
Loose packs are counted one per opening. Anything we have not written a number against is not counted here, so these are a floor rather than a total.
Quick facts
Surging Sparks 101
- Released November 8, 2024, which was 21 months ago.
- The set is 191 cards on paper, but there are 252 in total. The extra 61 are secret rares numbered past the printed count.
- 69 of the 252 cards sit at a chase rarity, which is every tier highlighted in the rarity breakdown below. That is what the checklist holds, not how often any of it turns up.
- Only 6 Hyper Rares exist in the entire set.
- The chase card is Pikachu ex (Special Illustration Rare), sitting around $258 raw, and $925 in a PSA 10.
- We have ripped 10 videos worth of this set on the channel.
- Latios, an Illustration Rare, is worth roughly eight times its raw price in a PSA 10. This set's Special Illustration Rares sit nearer three. Raw from pricecharting.com, read August 16, 2026; PSA 10 from pokemonpricetracker.com, read August 12, 2026.
That PSA 10 figure is graded sales data from pricecharting.com, read August 31, 2026. The raw figure beside it is pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, which is a different measurement.
What is actually rare
Rarity breakdown
How many cards sit at each rarity, and what those cards are worth. Mid is the middle card at that rarity: half of them cost more than that and half cost less, which is a far better guide to what you will actually see than the one famous card at the top.
The stars beside a tier are the ones printed on the card, redrawn from the key in the booklet that ships inside a modern set. The color carries as much of the meaning as the count: two silver stars is Ultra Rare and two black stars is Double Rare. Tiers with no stars are not on that page, so this site does not draw one for them. The whole rarity key.
Prices worked out from the Surging Sparks checklist below, read August 28, 2026. A rarity only gets a figure where every card at that rarity has a price and the checklist agrees with the set's own count, so a few tiers show a count and no money rather than a number covering a different set of cards than the one beside it.

The gold rows are the chase tiers, the same ones the rarity breakdown above highlights. The stars beside a rarity are the ones printed on that card. Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. Where a card exists as a normal, holo and reverse holo at different prices, the figure shown is the priciest of them, because that is the one people mean. 252 of 252 cards have a price.

Ways to open Surging Sparks
Every sealed Surging Sparks product still being sold, cheapest first. The cheapest way in is also the cheapest pack: one pack at $7.88. The booster bundle works out at $10.00 a pack, so on this set the bigger boxes cost more per pack, not less.

Prices are TCGplayer market and lowest-listing prices, read on September 1, 2026. They move every day, so treat them as a rough idea and not a quote. Product photos are TCGplayer's. We are not a shop and we do not sell any of this.
Cost per pack is the market price divided by the pack count printed on each card above, so you can check it. Sleeves, dice, decks and promo cards are counted as worth nothing, which flatters every box that includes them. Anything whose pack count is not in our data gets no per-pack figure rather than a guessed one, which is why blisters, tins and collection boxes have none, and why sets from before 2023 have none either: our counts are sourced for the current era and were not the same in earlier ones. What each product has held, and when it changed, is on how many packs are in it.
