“Shiny Treasure ex” Main Set Fully Revealed, Features New Reverse Holo Style!

By: Water Pokémon Master · Posted Posted onNov 23, 2023 at 8:05 PM · 35 Comments

All 190 regular cards from Japan’s Shiny Treasure ex have just been revealed! The set releases in Japan on December 1st.

Shiny Treasure ex serves as Japan’s annual “reprint” set, meaning it mostly contains reprinted cards. These annual sets help ensure cards from the past year are available to Japanese players and collectors. There are only a handful of brand new cards and alternate arts sprinkled into the main set. The set also includes alternate art promos that were released first in English, such as those from our Pokemon ex boxes and prerelease kits. Those cards are new to Japanese fans.

The set will feature over 150 secret rares with alternate artwork, including shiny Pokemon. This will be the main appeal of the set. All of the set’s secret rare cards will be revealed by next week – so be sure to keep checking back!

As with all High Class Sets, each Shiny Treasure ex booster pack will come with 10 cards. Each booster pack will also come with a guaranteed Pokemon ex. Again, this is to ensure players and collectors have easier access to them.

Shiny Treasure ex will feature a new reverse holo style that uses a kind of “digitized” sheen, perhaps to represent Paradox Pokemon. This is the first time it’s been revealed.

The majority of this set’s new cards will be incorporated into our special January set, Paldean Fates, on January 26th.

Thanks goes to JustInBasil and Steffenka for helping with this article!

The Flittle is a new card. Looks like the worst one to date though; 30HP, 1 RC, & 2 Energy attack lol.
 
the new espathra ex is ... a bug type? it looks pretty cool! the grass energy typing to this card means that if a roaring moon ex has 3 energy attached to it, espathra ex can OHKO it. however, the main attraction is the ability that makes opponent's attacks cost one colorless more. alongside league hq, this can ideally make attacking espathra much harder. this will also synergize with its attack, where it wants the opponent having more energy!

this can make espathra ex carve out its own niche as a rogue deck, but you might need either (a) heavy hand control or (b) new moon lunatone to avoid getting demolished by path to the peak. still though, this is one of the most unique cards we've seen on a competitive level this generation!

art rating: good!
competitive rating: rogue deck potential

partners to espathra ex:

new moon lunatone & solrock - by shutting off the effects of stadiums on espathra ex, your opponent can't get past its ability through path to the peak. as a matter of fact, for even more disruption, espathra ex could potentially use path to the peak ITSELF alongside lunatone & solrock, akin to the niche glimmora ex decks.

xatu - since gardevoir ex can't attach energy onto espathra, xatu will have to be the go-to energy acceleration to boost the damage of espathra's attack. it also functions as a mini-draw-engine for a deck like this.

paradox rift espathra - single-prize espathra can evolve and use its ability (prevents all damage done to it for 1 turn) to sit in the active spot for a turn, giving you more time to build up your board. also, since espathra ex decks are could feasibly run a 1-of tulip, maybe espathra could use its tulip-reliant attack?

mew ex - it will be hard for espathra ex to get big OHKO's on most mons, so mew ex can be useful against tanky pokemon like giratina vstar and charizard ex, or pokemon like raikou v which don't have lots of energy on them. a strong basic attacker is always nice, especially considering that mew ex is also a mini-draw-engine and a free retreat pivot.
 
Espathra is actually pretty cool, though my issue is its attack takes a lot of investment to reach damage already matched by other EX for less.

Seems like its design is strictly to be a counter against Darkness pokemons. One P energy instahits a fully charged, fully healthy roaring moon Roaring Moon, and 4 P energy can counter hit a TeraZard, assuming it has 3 energy on it because of Espathra's ability.

But you're correct, other than that it takes intensive resources to hit anything else for respectable damage. Koala on an earlier post does provide nice partner options, it will definitely have to be run alongside Xatu.

Hey that vileplume is the one from Path to the Peak!

No, it isn't. This Vileplume is from 151. The one from PttP has a similar artwork but doesn't have an ability.

They weren't brave enough to give us shiny Pineco.

NobodyBW said:
Yeah, weird that its Forretress got one, but not its pre-evo.
Click to expand...
Pineco is right there in the set before Forretress haha. Based on the numbering, it seems every non-ex Pokemon, except for Gimmighoul and Gholdengo, are getting Shiny cards, as well as every ex card that isn't a Legendary Pokemon from Paldea

No arcanine fullart shiny :-/ no flareon, joltreon and vaporeon baby shinys either. No butterfree baby shiny :`-( no gastly/haunter/gengar baby shinys, but they weren't very possible, so it's okay. Snorlax and entei baby shiny is cool. I hope, entei geht's the 4th ar shiny.

Why is judge getting a sr, but is not even in the set? :-D

These sets tend to give SR cards to Supporters who haven't received them yet, despite not being in the set, so I think cards like Nemona, Youngster, and the promo Supporters are likely candidates for other SR (along with the new ones from the set)

The box legends I'm guessing will be saved for something like the Crown Zenith boxes at the end of S/V era, some time after an in-game event for their shinies has already passed.
