Paradox Rift has 84 secret rares — cards numbered above 182.
Where Paradox Rift's secret rares begin
Secret rares sit past the printed total of 182, so in Paradox Rift they run #183 to #266 — 84 cards, the hardest pulls and most of the set's value. By tier that's 34 Illustration Rares, 28 Ultra Rares, 20 Double Rares and 15 Special Illustration Rares.
The Paradox Rift secret rares everyone wants
The rarest is Roaring Moon ex (#262), a Hyper Rare. The priciest by market value is Groudon (#199) at about $115.77 — so the scarcest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.
- Groudon (#199) — Illustration Rare (~$115.77)
- Altaria ex (#253) — Special Illustration Rare (~$60.67)
- Plusle (#193) — Illustration Rare (~$52.02)
- Minun (#194) — Illustration Rare (~$50.66)
- Morpeko (#206) — Illustration Rare (~$43.76)
- Roaring Moon ex (#251) — Special Illustration Rare (~$43.37)

Finishing the Paradox Rift secret-rare run
Landing all 84 is the hard part of completing Paradox Rift; they push the full checklist to 266 cards and a master set to 428. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 84-card band, so even a near-complete Paradox Rift binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
