Twilight Masquerade release date and set size
The set released on May 24, 2024. Prerelease events started on May 11, and Pokémon TCG Live got it on May 23. The main set runs from 001 to 167, and secret cards from 168 to 226 take the total to 226 cards. Bulbapedia’s set page has the full checklist.
Here is how the set breaks down:
- 6 ACE SPEC cards
- 7 Pokémon ex and 7 Tera Pokémon ex
- 21 illustration rares (168–188)
- 21 ultra rares (189–209)
- 11 special illustration rares (210–220)
- 6 gold hyper rares (221–226)
The booster packs show four different Pokémon: Teal Mask Ogerpon, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, Sinistcha and a Terastallized Dragapult.
The Teal Mask story in card form
Twilight Masquerade is based on The Teal Mask, the first part of the Scarlet and Violet DLC. The story takes place in Kitakami, a rural area with a festival of masks, and its central legend is Ogerpon. That is why Ogerpon appears four times in the set, once for each mask it can wear, with a different type for each.
Bloodmoon Ursaluna and Sinistcha come from the same story, and both get special illustration rares. Kieran and Carmine, the two siblings you meet in Kitakami, appear as Supporter cards, and Perrin, a photographer from the story, does too. If you played the DLC, the Twilight Masquerade card list will feel very familiar.
Twilight Masquerade card list highlights
Greninja ex
Greninja ex has three versions in the set: a double rare (106/167), an ultra rare full art (198/167) and a special illustration rare (214/167). The Greninja ex Twilight Masquerade special illustration rare is the most valuable card in the set.
Note that the Greninja ex promo cards are not in Twilight Masquerade products. They come from a Battle Deck (SVP 054) and the Shrouded Fable Special Illustration Collection (SVP 132).
All four Ogerpon ex masks
Each of Ogerpon’s four masks gets a double rare, an ultra rare and a special illustration rare:
- Teal Mask (Grass): 025, 190 and 211, plus a gold hyper rare at 221
- Hearthflame Mask (Fire): 040, 192 and 212
- Wellspring Mask (Water): 064, 194 and 213
- Cornerstone Mask (Fighting): 112, 199 and 215
There is also a non-ex Teal Mask Ogerpon at 024/167. Collecting all four special illustration rares, or the full run of thirteen Ogerpon ex cards, is a popular goal.
ACE SPEC cards
The six ACE SPEC cards are Hyper Aroma, Scoop Up Cyclone, Secret Box, Survival Brace, Unfair Stamp and Legacy Energy. These matter more to players than collectors, and cards like Unfair Stamp, Secret Box and Legacy Energy are well known in competitive play.
Twilight Masquerade chase cards
Here is the order of the most valuable cards from a March 2026 ranking:
- Greninja ex 214/167 special illustration rare
- Perrin 220/167 special illustration rare
- Eevee 188/167 illustration rare
- Carmine 217/167 special illustration rare
- Chansey 187/167 illustration rare
- Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex 216/167 special illustration rare
- Lana’s Aid 219/167 special illustration rare
- Kieran 218/167 special illustration rare
- Hisuian Growlithe 181/167 illustration rare
- Sinistcha ex 210/167 special illustration rare
The Teal Mask Ogerpon ex special illustration rare comes just after the top ten, and the other Ogerpon special illustration rares sit close behind it.
Supporter cards rank high
The unusual thing about the Twilight Masquerade chase cards is how well the Supporter special illustration rares do. Perrin, Carmine, Lana’s Aid and Kieran all make the top ten, which is more than most sets. The Eevee and Chansey illustration rares also beat several ex cards.
Gold hyper rares
The six gold cards are Teal Mask Ogerpon ex (221), Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex (222), Buddy-Buddy Poffin (223), Enhanced Hammer (224), Rescue Board (225) and Luminous Energy (226).
The Japanese versions
The English set is based on the Japanese set Transformation Mask, released in Japan on April 26, 2024, plus cards from Crimson Haze, which came out in Japan on March 22, 2024. Serebii’s set list shows the English cards side by side.

Why the set stands out
Twilight Masquerade has one of the most interesting value spreads of the Scarlet & Violet era. Instead of one or two huge cards, it has a long list of strong ones: Greninja ex, four Supporter special illustration rares, popular illustration rares like Eevee and Chansey, and thirteen Ogerpon ex cards. That makes it a fun set to open and a good one for players too, thanks to its ACE SPEC cards.
