**The rarest card in Paradox Rift is Roaring Moon ex (#262), a Hyper Rare.**

## Why Roaring Moon ex tops the list

Paradox Rift prints just 7 Hyper Rares, the thinnest tier in the set, and Roaring Moon ex sits at #262 among them. Rarity and price don't always line up. By market value the priciest card is Groudon (#199) at about $115.77, so the rarest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.

## How Roaring Moon ex sits in the wider chase

Paradox Rift runs to 266 cards including 84 secret rares, and Roaring Moon ex is the scarcest of them. Other cards collectors hunt in the set:

- [Groudon (#199)](/card/sv4-199) — Illustration Rare (~$115.77)
- [Altaria ex (#253)](/card/sv4-253) — Special Illustration Rare (~$60.67)
- [Plusle (#193)](/card/sv4-193) — Illustration Rare (~$52.02)
- [Minun (#194)](/card/sv4-194) — Illustration Rare (~$50.66)
- [Morpeko (#206)](/card/sv4-206) — Illustration Rare (~$43.76)

## Star Pokémon to chase in Paradox Rift

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 Paradox Rift card to hunt per name:

- **Groudon** — Groudon (#199)
- **Altaria** — Altaria ex (#140), Altaria ex (#232), Altaria ex (#253)
- **Plusle** — Plusle (#193)
- **Minun** — Minun (#194)
- **Morpeko** — Morpeko (#206)

If you're hunting the rarest pull, Roaring Moon ex is the one to prioritise; the rest of Paradox Rift's chase fills in from there. With 84 secret rares and 49 full-art cards across the 266-card set, there's a deep bench of rare pulls behind it.
