**The rarest card in Paldea Evolved is Ting-Lu ex (#275), a Hyper Rare.**

## Why Ting-Lu ex tops the list

Paldea Evolved prints just 9 Hyper Rares, the thinnest tier in the set, and Ting-Lu ex sits at #275 among them. Rarity and price don't always line up. By market value the priciest card is Magikarp (#203) at about $406.13, so the rarest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.

## How Ting-Lu ex sits in the wider chase

Paldea Evolved runs to 279 cards including 86 secret rares, and Ting-Lu ex is the scarcest of them. Other cards collectors hunt in the set:

- [Magikarp (#203)](/card/sv2-203) — Illustration Rare (~$406.13)
- [Raichu (#211)](/card/sv2-211) — Illustration Rare (~$118.89)
- [Maushold (#226)](/card/sv2-226) — Illustration Rare (~$106.19)
- [Tyranitar (#222)](/card/sv2-222) — Illustration Rare (~$80.47)
- [Iono (#269)](/card/sv2-269) — Special Illustration Rare (~$68.26)

## Star Pokémon to chase in Paldea Evolved

Beyond the single rarest card, these are the headline Pokémon and their prints in the set — each appears in multiple slots, so there's more than one Paldea Evolved card to hunt per name:

- **Magikarp** — Magikarp (#203)
- **Raichu** — Raichu (#211)
- **Maushold** — Maushold (#226)
- **Tyranitar** — Tyranitar (#222)
- **Tinkaton** — Tinkaton ex (#240), Tinkaton ex (#262)

If you're hunting the rarest pull, Ting-Lu ex is the one to prioritise; the rest of Paldea Evolved's chase fills in from there. With 86 secret rares and 51 full-art cards across the 279-card set, there's a deep bench of rare pulls behind it.
