Chasing them in Scarlet & Violet
Scarlet & Violet runs to 258 cards with 34 Illustration/Special Illustration Rares, but landing Gardevoir ex, Drowzee and Ralts covers most of what collectors actually want — a far quicker goal than the full 444-card master set. The rarest single pull, Koraidon ex (#254) (Hyper Rare), rounds out the want-list.
