Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a): checklist and Australian buying guide
Quick answer
Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) is a Japanese high-class set built around shiny Pokémon. Cards 001-190 are the numbered base set and 191-360 continue as the shiny and premium run, so 360 is the complete master-set count. The full English checklist below is searchable, filterable by rarity tier, and tracks your progress in your own browser.

Shiny Treasure ex is a Japanese *high-class* set — the annual, shiny-focused release that closes out a Scarlet & Violet block by reprinting cards from earlier sets in shiny treatments alongside a run of premium art rares. It has no direct English equivalent set, which is why Australian collectors so often go looking for the Japanese product specifically.
This page is the full 360-card checklist in English, with the printed card number and rarity tier for every entry, plus a tracker that remembers what you already own. Numbering and set structure come from the official Japanese card database and the English names are cross-checked against a maintained set list; we publish no prices, pull rates or value predictions for the set.

What Shiny Treasure ex is
SV4a is a Japanese-only high-class set. High-class sets differ from standard Japanese sets in three ways that matter when you are budgeting: the packs contain ten cards instead of five, a box contains ten packs instead of thirty, and the entire set is weighted toward shiny and special-rarity cards rather than playable commons. The result is a box that opens quickly and is almost entirely chase-oriented.
| Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) | Standard Japanese set | |
|---|---|---|
| Cards per pack | 10 | 5 |
| Packs per box | 10 | 30 |
| Set focus | Shiny reprints and premium art rares | Full playable set plus chase cards |
| English equivalent | None — Japanese only | Usually released later in English |
How the 360-card checklist is structured
Every SV4a card is printed with a number out of 190, but the set does not stop at 190. Cards 001-190 are the numbered base set; cards 191-360 continue the same collector numbering as the shiny and premium run that sits past the base list. That is why you will see both figures quoted: 190 is the printed base-set total, and 360 is the complete master-set count — the number the official Japanese card database returns for the set, and the number our checklist below tracks.
| Tier | Cards | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| Common / Uncommon | 166 | Base set 001-190 |
| Double Rare (RR) | 24 | Base set 001-190 |
| Shiny Rare (S) | 129 | 191-360 |
| Shiny Super Rare (SSR) | 18 | 191-360 |
| Special Art Rare (SAR) | 8 | 191-360 |
| Ultra Rare (UR) | 6 | 191-360 |
| Super Rare (SR) | 5 | 191-360 |
| Art Rare (AR) | 4 | 191-360 |
- Shiny Rare (S) — the body of the 191-360 run: existing Pokémon reprinted in shiny colouring. The largest tier past the base set and the one most master-set collectors work through first.
- Shiny Super Rare (SSR) — shiny *ex* cards, the step above the plain shiny tier.
- Art Rare (AR) — full-art illustrated cards with the Pokémon in a scene rather than a plain frame.
- Special Art Rare (SAR) — the top illustrated tier, usually a character-and-Pokémon scene, and typically the most sought-after cards in any Scarlet & Violet era Japanese set.
- Ultra Rare (UR) — gold-bordered cards, including trainers and items as well as Pokémon.
- Double Rare (RR) — the two-star *ex* cards inside the numbered base set.

Sensible collecting goals
Trying to complete every tier of a high-class set from packs is the expensive path. Most collectors pick one of these instead:
- 1Open one box for the experience. Ten packs of ten cards is a genuinely good opening session, and you finish with a large block of the shiny tier in one go.
- 2Chase a single favourite card. If there is one SAR you actually want, buying that card as a single is almost always cheaper than opening toward it — the maths is the same as any sealed product and is worked through in our booster box value guide.
- 3Build the shiny tier only. The S tier is the identity of the set and the most achievable complete run.
- 4Collect for display. ARs and SARs sleeved and framed, ignoring the rest of the list entirely.
Japanese vs English context
There is no English Shiny Treasure ex set, so the usual Japanese-versus-English decision does not apply here in the normal way: if you want these cards, you are buying Japanese. What still applies is everything else about Japanese product — Japanese cards are not legal in English-language tournament play in Australia, the card stock and print quality are generally regarded as excellent, and the per-pack cost profile differs from English boxes. The full comparison is in our Japanese vs English booster boxes guide.
Condition, storage and authenticity
- Sleeve anything from the AR tier upward as it comes out of the pack — the flat, heavily inked surfaces on Japanese art rares show handling marks quickly.
- Store sleeved cards upright in a rigid box away from direct sun and out of a hot car; Australian summer heat warps cards and cases faster than most collectors expect.
- Buy sealed boxes only from sellers who state clearly that product is unsearched and unresealed. Our own sealed stock is never weighed, searched or resealed, and any cosmetic damage to a box is stated in the listing title.
- If you are buying second-hand rather than sealed, our guide to spotting fake booster boxes covers the print, seal and weight tells worth checking.

Buying Shiny Treasure ex from Australia
We hold the sealed Japanese Shiny Treasure ex booster box (SV4a) in Australian stock, priced in AUD on the product page. We do not currently list SV4a singles — if you are chasing an individual card from the set, the closest live stock is our Japanese singles range, which covers other Scarlet & Violet era Japanese sets rather than SV4a itself. We would rather say that plainly than imply availability we do not have.
Orders are dispatched from Victoria within two business days via Australia Post, with tracked standard and express options and signature on delivery available. Prices are charged in Australian dollars, so there is no conversion surprise at checkout.
Frequently asked questions
- How many packs are in a Shiny Treasure ex box?
- Ten packs, each containing ten cards — the standard Japanese high-class format, rather than the thirty five-card packs found in a standard Japanese booster box.
- How many cards are in Shiny Treasure ex — 190 or 360?
- Both numbers are real. Cards are printed "nnn / 190", so 190 is the numbered base set. The collector numbering continues to 360 across the shiny and premium run, and 360 is the complete master-set count returned by the official Japanese card database. Our checklist tracks all 360.
- Does the checklist save my progress?
- Yes. Ticked cards are stored in your own browser using local storage, with no account and nothing sent to us. Progress stays on that device and browser, so it will not follow you to a phone or a private-browsing window, and clearing your browser data clears it.
- Is there an English version of Shiny Treasure ex?
- No. SV4a is a Japanese-only high-class set. Some of the Pokémon reprinted in it appear in English sets, but the set itself has never been released in English.
- What are SAR, AR and UR cards?
- AR is Art Rare, a full illustrated card; SAR is Special Art Rare, the top illustrated tier and usually the most sought-after; UR is Ultra Rare, the gold-bordered tier that includes trainers and items as well as Pokémon.
- Do you sell Shiny Treasure ex singles?
- Not at the moment. We stock the sealed SV4a booster box, and our Japanese singles range currently covers other Scarlet & Violet era Japanese sets. Stock changes, so the singles collection page is the accurate source.
- Can I use Shiny Treasure ex cards in tournaments in Australia?
- Japanese-language cards are not legal in English-language tournament play. They are collected and played casually widely in Australia, but for sanctioned events you need the English printing of a card.
