**The rarest card in Temporal Forces is Raging Bolt ex (#218), a Hyper Rare.**

## Why Raging Bolt ex tops the list

Temporal Forces prints just 6 Hyper Rares, the thinnest tier in the set, and Raging Bolt ex sits at #218 among them. Rarity and price don't always line up. By market value the priciest card is Gastly (#177) at about $112.48, so the rarest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.

## How Raging Bolt ex sits in the wider chase

Temporal Forces runs to 218 cards including 56 secret rares, and Raging Bolt ex is the scarcest of them. Other cards collectors hunt in the set:

- [Gastly (#177)](/card/sv5-177) — Illustration Rare (~$112.48)
- [Morty's Conviction (#211)](/card/sv5-211) — Special Illustration Rare (~$78.34)
- [Raging Bolt ex (#208)](/card/sv5-208) — Special Illustration Rare (~$71.71)

## Star Pokémon to chase in Temporal Forces

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 Temporal Forces card to hunt per name:

- **Gastly** — Gastly (#177)
- **Raging Bolt** — Raging Bolt ex (#123), Raging Bolt ex (#196), Raging Bolt ex (#208), Raging Bolt ex (#218)
- **Gengar** — Gengar ex (#104), Gengar ex (#193)
- **Walking Wake** — Walking Wake ex (#50), Walking Wake ex (#189), Walking Wake ex (#205), Walking Wake ex (#215)
- **Sawsbuck** — Sawsbuck (#166)

If you're hunting the rarest pull, Raging Bolt ex is the one to prioritise; the rest of Temporal Forces' chase fills in from there. With 56 secret rares and 32 full-art cards across the 218-card set, there's a deep bench of rare pulls behind it.
