The secret rares from Terastal Festival ex are now being posted to social media by Japanese fans! The set releases in Japan on Friday.

“Terastal Festival ex” Secret Rares

The set features only full arts, Special Illustration Rares, and gold ultra rares.

Creatures collaborated with two famous non-Pokemon artists for this set.

Palafin ex is illustrated by Tetsuo Hara. He is a manga artist who is best known for co-creating Fist of the North Star, one of the best-selling manga of all time.

Eevee ex is illustrated by Natsuko Shoji, a famous award-winning pastry chef who runs a restaurant named été in Tokyo. (Hence the fruit desserts in the artwork.)

There are no regular Illustration Rares in this set. At three per box, the reverse holo Poke Balls and Master Balls seem to have taken their place.

We’ll be getting an Eevee Illustration Rare in our Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box, but it’s unclear how it will release in Japan. It’s not in Terastal Festival ex or any of its associated products.

It’s also surprising this set doesn’t have the Greninja ex, Kingdra ex, and Kingambit we received in our Shrouded Fable products back in August. They may remain English-exclusive.

“Terastal Festival ex” God Packs

“God Packs” will return in Terastal Festival ex! These are extremely rare packs that contain a bunch of chase cards.

One type of God Pack will come with seven reverse holos followed by three random Eeveelution Special Illustration Rares.

A second God Pack will trick you with a common card on top followed by all nine Special Illustration Rares of Eevee ex and its Eeveelutions!

“Terastal Festival ex” Pull Rates

Each Terastal Festival booster pack contains 10 cards. There are 10 packs per box. Each box costs 5,500 yen, or about $37.

Each booster box will come with a guaranteed Special Illustration Rare. It’s also possible to pull one additional secret rare — either a full art card or ultra rare gold card.

Each booster box will come with three reverse holos. Unfortunately, a Master Ball is not guaranteed. This probably means Pokemon plans to print the set continuously over the next few years.

The cards from this set will become part of our Prismatic Evolutions set on January 17th.

Our set will also feature reverse holo Poke Balls and Master Balls. Their design hasn’t been revealed yet and we don’t know how they’ll be distributed in packs.

I have a hard time believing that the Greninja, Kingdra and Kingambit will stay English exclusives. I mean English didn’t get the Squirtle/Bulbasaur IR’s until just a few months ago. We still haven’t seen the Victini ex Thai tournament promos. I think they might just keep getting pushed back and get thrown into a random set at some point.

Pretty cool cards (love the rainbow golds) but i think the 224 eevee will be the promo for the UPC going out in spring, along with two other cards
 
Was half-expecting a Ceruledge SIR, but I’m glad my suspicions were confirmed. The art on that card ended up being really good. The Palafin looks as amazing in card form as I was hoping as well. I’m not sure every Ogerpon getting another SIR was necessary, but at least the art is probably better than the TWM versions
 
This set is gonna be fire. Shame that it’s got no booster sets except bundles in the UK. These sellers are gonna over inflate prices like they’re doing with the pikachu SIR. Also that palafin is hot, especially drawn by the manga legend. Def on my chase list.

Yeah, they're basically just slightly cooler versions of the full art ogrepons from TWM. Just the teal mask would've sufficed. We could've hopefully gotten SARs for Hydrapple, Garchomp and Iron Thorns if the slots were freed up.

Anyone else get frustrated by the same pokemon getting chosen for AR/SAR?

Yes because I tend to like the most random obscure ones, and we didn’t get those this set, but I do like that there are more arts for commonly used cards because it keeps the playmats looking interesting during play
 
Great set overall! I am really impressed with a lot of these SIRS, the Ceruledge looks so clean, I cannot wait for the HD render of that card. I also really like that we're seeing some of the big SV Pokemon get more time in the spotlight, it's likely that they won't get many cards after this year in my opinion, even if it's a little redundant to most collectors.
 
Nobody works harder than Ogerpons PR team. An astounding 8 SIRs now for the masks. They've been trying to shove it down our throats for a year.

Two tera SIRs for eevee in same set is so unnecessary.

They did Iron Thorns dirty man. Two tera mons got first SIRs (Ceruledge/Dragapult). Perfect balance would've been Iron Thorns and Palafin getting them as two non teras
 
I think my only complaint is the same as some of the others here. I get some of these cards are alt arts for cards that see a lot of play, but I just wish more pokemon (and trainers) that didn’t have SAR’s got them. The ones that did look so amazing, and yea idk what the need for two eevees is exactly. Other than that I think almost all of them look amazing
