Astral Radiance has 27 secret rares — cards numbered above 189.
Where Astral Radiance's secret rares begin
Secret rares sit past the printed total of 189, so in Astral Radiance they run #190 to #216 — 27 cards, the hardest pulls and most of the set's value. By tier that's 30 Rare Ultras, 20 Rare Holos, 19 Rare Holo Vs and 18 Rare Rainbows.
The Astral Radiance secret rares everyone wants
The rarest is Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR (#198), a Rare Rainbow. The priciest by market value is Machamp V (#172) at about $216.37 — so the scarcest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.
- Machamp V (#172) — Rare Ultra (~$216.37)

Finishing the Astral Radiance secret-rare run
Landing all 27 is the hard part of completing Astral Radiance; they push the full checklist to 216 cards and a master set to 344. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 27-card band, so even a near-complete Astral Radiance binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
