Begin the Scarlet & Violet era with the Pokémon Violet ex SV1V Japanese Booster Box, the original Japanese expansion inspired by the Pokémon Violet video game and the new Paldea region.

Released in Japan on January 20, 2023, Violet ex introduced collectors to the new generation of Pokémon TCG cards, including the return of the Pokémon ex mechanic and the introduction of new Paldean Pokémon.

The set has a particularly strong connection to Miraidon, the Legendary Pokémon associated with Pokémon Violet, while also featuring popular Pokémon and Trainer cards from the Paldea region.

Each factory-sealed display contains 30 Japanese booster packs, with 5 cards in every pack.

⚡ Miraidon ex Leads Violet ex

The defining Pokémon of the set is Miraidon ex.

As the Legendary Pokémon associated with Pokémon Violet, Miraidon is naturally one of the central cards collectors look for in SV1V.

The expansion contains multiple versions and rarities of Miraidon, including its highly collectible Special Art Rare version.

Other notable cards include Arcanine ex, Pachirisu, Slowpoke, and a selection of Pokémon from the newly introduced Paldea region.

🌿 The Beginning of the Paldea Era

Violet ex is historically significant because it represents the beginning of the Scarlet & Violet generation of the Pokémon TCG.

The expansion introduces Pokémon from the Paldea region alongside the new visual style and mechanics of the generation.

For collectors, this makes SV1V more than simply another booster box—it is one of the products that started an entirely new Pokémon TCG era.

👩 Miriam and the Trainer Cards

One of the standout collector cards from Violet ex is Miriam.

The set contains a highly desirable Miriam Special Art Rare, giving Trainer-card collectors another major chase alongside Miraidon ex.

Other higher-rarity cards and detailed Art Rare illustrations give the set considerably more variety than its relatively compact 108-card complete release might suggest.

🎨 Art Rare & Special Art Rare Cards

Violet ex includes several modern Pokémon TCG rarity treatments.

The release contains:

• Art Rare (AR)

• Super Art Rare (SAR)

• Super Rare (SR)

• Ultra Rare (UR)

• Double Rare (RR)

• Standard Pokémon cards

The complete Japanese release is listed as 108 card types, consisting of the main set plus higher-rarity cards.

This gives collectors plenty of opportunities to find alternate artwork and premium versions of their favorite Pokémon.

🐕 Arcanine ex and Other Popular Pokémon

Violet ex isn’t built entirely around Miraidon.

Collectors can also find cards featuring Pokémon such as Arcanine ex, Slowpoke and Pachirisu, with different rarity levels adding additional versions to collect.

The combination of familiar Pokémon and new Paldean species makes the set feel like a genuine transition between Pokémon generations.

📦 JAPANESE BOOSTER BOX CONFIGURATION

One factory-sealed SV1V Violet ex display contains:

30 booster packs × 5 cards per pack = 150 cards per box.

The cards are randomly distributed at the factory. Therefore, individual cards such as Miraidon ex SAR or Miriam SAR are not guaranteed in a particular box.

Fuji Card Shop notes that a typical box should contain multiple Art Rare and higher-rarity cards, but exact pulls vary between boxes.
