The rarest card in Scarlet & Violet is Koraidon ex (#254), a Hyper Rare.
Why Koraidon ex tops the list
Scarlet & Violet prints just 6 Hyper Rares, the thinnest tier in the set, and Koraidon ex sits at #254 among them. Rarity and price don't always line up. By market value the priciest card is Gardevoir ex (#245) at about $89.05, so the rarest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.
