**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)](/card/swsh10-172) — Rare Ultra (~$216.37)
- [Origin Forme Palkia V (#167)](/card/swsh10-167) — Rare Ultra (~$89.89)
- [Beedrill V (#161)](/card/swsh10-161) — Rare Ultra (~$72.10)
- [Origin Forme Dialga V (#177)](/card/swsh10-177) — Rare Ultra (~$68.57)
- [Hisuian Sneasler V (#175)](/card/swsh10-175) — Rare Ultra (~$36.46)
- [Hisuian Lilligant V (#163)](/card/swsh10-163) — Rare Ultra (~$26.64)

## 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.
