Evolving Skies has 34 secret rares — cards numbered above 203.
Where Evolving Skies' secret rares begin
Secret rares sit past the printed total of 203, so in Evolving Skies they run #204 to #237 — 34 cards, the hardest pulls and most of the set's value. By tier that's 38 Rare Ultras, 22 Rare Rainbows, 20 Rare Holos and 18 Rare Holo Vs.
The Evolving Skies secret rares everyone wants
The rarest is Duraludon VMAX (#220), a Rare Rainbow. The priciest by market value is Umbreon VMAX (#215) at about $2,270.18 — so the scarcest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.
- Umbreon VMAX (#215) — Rare Rainbow (~$2,270.18)
- Rayquaza VMAX (#218) — Rare Rainbow (~$1,047.06)

Finishing the Evolving Skies secret-rare run
Landing all 34 is the hard part of completing Evolving Skies; they push the full checklist to 237 cards and a master set to 369. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 34-card band, so even a near-complete Evolving Skies binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
