The short version: it&#8217;s a Japanese <strong>High Class Pack<\/strong> built around shiny Pok\u00e9mon, and that combination is exactly why collectors pay so much attention to it. Here&#8217;s what the rest of this section walks through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>When the set released and how many cards it holds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What the &#8220;High Class Pack&#8221; label means in practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why shiny Pok\u00e9mon define the set&#8217;s identity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Get these three things straight, and the version differences and chase-card values later on will click into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Release Date and Set Size<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemon-card.com\/ex\/sv4a\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> The Pok\u00e9mon Company&#8217;s official set page<\/a>, Shiny Treasure ex launched in Japan on December 1, 2023 as a <strong>High Class Pack<\/strong> in the Scarlet &amp; Violet series. Each pack contains 10 cards and carries a suggested retail price of \u00a5550, tax included\u2014an accessible entry point for a set with this much premium content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main set spans 190 cards, with a deep pool of secret rares sitting beyond that number. Counting those secrets, the full Japanese release reaches around 360 cards, so the set rewards you whether you hunt by rarity tier or by a specific Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set at a Glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fbRelease date: December 1, 2023 (Japan)<br>\u30fbSuggested retail price: \u00a5550 (tax included)<br>\u30fbCards per pack: 10<br>\u30fbMain set: 190 cards, plus secret rares (around 360 total in Japanese)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What &#8220;High Class Pack&#8221; Means for Shiny Treasure ex<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>High Class Pack<\/strong> is a special Japanese product line, and its defining promise is simple: every single pack <strong>guarantees at least one Pok\u00e9mon ex<\/strong>. That alone separates it from standard expansions, where pulling an ex is never a sure thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sets are built largely from recently popular cards given a fresh treatment rather than from brand-new card pools. For Shiny Treasure ex, that treatment is the shiny finish applied across its lineup. High Class Packs also tend to arrive around the end of the year, which often makes them more anticipated than a typical release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Makes Shiny Treasure ex Special: Shiny Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets this release apart is right there in the name: the whole set centers on <strong>shiny Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong>, the alternate-colored versions of familiar creatures. That focus runs from small &#8220;baby shiny&#8221; cards all the way up to elaborate full-art chase cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set also continues a well-loved tradition. According to<a href=\"https:\/\/press.pokemon.com\/en\/releases\/MEDIA-ALERT-New-Pokemon-Trading-Card-Game-Scarlet-VioletPaldean-Fates-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> The Pok\u00e9mon Company&#8217;s official press release<\/a>, it draws inspiration from the earlier Hidden Fates and Shining Fates expansions\u2014two releases that built their appeal around shiny Pok\u00e9mon and earned a strong following among collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shiny Treasure ex vs. Paldean Fates: How the Japanese and English Sets Differ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2658361353.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Shiny Treasure ex&#8221; and &#8220;Paldean Fates&#8221; describe nearly the same cards in different languages\u2014but the differences matter when you&#8217;re deciding what to buy. This section breaks down each one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Japanese original and how to get it overseas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The English Paldean Fates release and how it differs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Korean and other-language printings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing which version you&#8217;re actually buying is the first step to spending wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Japanese Version: The Original Shiny Treasure ex<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Japanese Shiny Treasure ex is the original\u2014the version that started it all. According to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemon-card.com\/ex\/sv4a\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> The Pok\u00e9mon Company&#8217;s official set page<\/a>, it released in Japan on December 1, 2023, months ahead of any other language. Every later printing traces back to this set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That includes the English release. <strong>Paldean Fates is built on the Japanese set<\/strong>, not the other way around, so if you want the original printing collectors point to as the source, the Japanese cards are it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting them outside Japan is more straightforward than it looks. A proxy service like Neokyo can buy Japanese-market listings on your behalf and ship them worldwide, which is how overseas collectors pick up the original set (full walkthrough in the buying section below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure: this article contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission from purchases made through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/en\/search\/rakuma?keyword=Shiny%20Treasure%20ex&amp;provider=rakuma&amp;spid=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browse Shiny Treasure ex cards on Neokyo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The English Version: Paldean Fates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In English, the set is called Scarlet &amp; Violet\u2014Paldean Fates. According to<a href=\"https:\/\/press.pokemon.com\/en\/releases\/MEDIA-ALERT-New-Pokemon-Trading-Card-Game-Scarlet-VioletPaldean-Fates-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> The Pok\u00e9mon Company&#8217;s official announcement<\/a>, it launched at retailers worldwide on January 26, 2024, about two months after the Japanese release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paldean Fates isn&#8217;t a one-to-one copy. It combines cards from the Japanese Shiny Treasure ex subset with leftover cards from other expansions, so the <strong>English checklist doesn&#8217;t line up exactly<\/strong> with the Japanese one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also a key difference in how you buy it. Paldean Fates booster packs aren&#8217;t sold on their own\u2014they come bundled inside products like Elite Trainer Boxes and other set collections, which shapes how the English version circulates on the secondary market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Korean and Other-Language Versions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Japanese and English, the set appears to have been released in other languages too. Korean and Traditional Chinese printings are generally reported to have arrived around early 2024, though the exact details aren&#8217;t always confirmed by official sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These versions can differ from the Japanese cards in small finishing touches, such as holo borders or framing. Print runs and demand also tend to vary by region, so circulation and prices for non-Japanese versions may not match what you see for the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Version<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Set Name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Release<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Japanese<\/td><td>Shiny Treasure ex<\/td><td>Dec 1, 2023<\/td><td>The original printing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>English<\/td><td>Paldean Fates<\/td><td>Jan 26, 2024<\/td><td>No standalone packs; sold in ETBs and other products<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Korean \/ other<\/td><td>Varies by region<\/td><td>Around early 2024<\/td><td>Some finishing and distribution differences<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shiny Treasure ex Card List: Rarities and How to Read the Set<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2885371607.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been searching for a Shiny Treasure ex card list, this is where the set comes together.

It&#8217;s a clear step down from Charizard, but still comfortably above the rest of the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The card&#8217;s artwork earns a lot of praise, which appears to support its standing among collectors. And once again, watch the number: the SSR Gardevoir ex #328 is a different card that goes for around $5, so the name shared between them can be misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Notable Cards (and Why the Tier Drops Off Fast)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below the top three, the market cools off fast. Most of the next-tier cards land in roughly the $30\u2013$45 range ungraded, so there&#8217;s a real gap between the headline cards and the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Iono #350<\/strong> is the clearest example of how prices shift over time. At about $33\u2013$42 today, it was the set&#8217;s most expensive card at launch before settling down\u2014a useful reminder that early prices don&#8217;t predict where a card lands later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pikachu #236<\/strong> is the oddball of the group. It&#8217;s a baby shiny (S rarity), yet it punches far above its tier at about $38\u2013$45 ungraded, and it jumps sharply in PSA 10. <strong>Mimikyu #341<\/strong> plays a similar role among Art Rares, sitting around $19 while most ARs trade for less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A handful of Trainer SARs fill out the next rung of chase cards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Card<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>No.<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rarity<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Ungraded<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Clive<\/td><td>#352<\/td><td>SAR<\/td><td>$18.93<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Penny<\/td><td>#354<\/td><td>SAR<\/td><td>$17.46<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Arven<\/td><td>#353<\/td><td>SAR<\/td><td>$9.67<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nemona<\/td><td>#351<\/td><td>SAR<\/td><td>$7.03<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These can be worth targeting if you want recognizable Trainer cards without paying top-three prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices as of June 2026; values fluctuate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Shiny Treasure ex Worth Buying?

That depends on what you&#8217;re after, and on what a box reliably gets you versus what it leaves to chance. This section lays out the math:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>What every booster box guarantees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How pull rates work by rarity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether opening a box or buying singles makes more sense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>None of it requires guesswork about luck\u2014only a clear look at what you&#8217;re paying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s Guaranteed in a Shiny Treasure ex Booster Box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Shiny Treasure ex booster box holds <strong>10 packs of 10 cards each<\/strong>, and because this is a High Class Pack, every one of those packs guarantees a Pok\u00e9mon ex. That&#8217;s the floor you&#8217;re paying for: at minimum, 10 ex cards per box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, a box is widely understood to include at least some shiny or SSR-tier cards, though that isn&#8217;t an official promise. The Pok\u00e9mon Company doesn&#8217;t publish exact pull rates; its only stated rule is that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemon-card.com\/ex\/sv4a\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> cards are inserted at random<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also run into the so-called &#8220;pack trick&#8221; or &#8220;card trick&#8221;\u2014the idea that weighing packs or feeling for certain cards reveals the hits. Its reliability is limited at best, and you&#8217;re better off understanding the guaranteed contents than chasing that kind of shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What a box guarantees:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fbOne box = 10 packs; one pack = 10 cards<br>\u30fbEvery pack includes one Pok\u00e9mon ex<br>\u30fbAt least some shiny\/SSR-tier cards are generally expected (not officially confirmed)<br>\u30fbOfficial pull rates aren&#8217;t published, and the &#8220;card trick&#8221; has limited reliability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shiny Treasure ex Pull Rates by Rarity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pull rates climb steeply as rarity goes up. The top tiers\u2014SAR cards in particular\u2014appear only rarely, which is exactly why a single box won&#8217;t reliably deliver a specific chase card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That scarcity is the main reason the most valuable cards cost what they do: the harder a card is to pull, the higher its price tends to climb on the secondary market. Supply and demand do the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind these are observed patterns, not published odds. Since official pull rates aren&#8217;t released, any rarity-by-rarity estimate you see is a community approximation rather than a guaranteed rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Opening a Box vs. Buying Single Cards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the practical trade-off. A Japanese Shiny Treasure ex box generally runs about $90\u2013$150, while a single chase card like Mew ex #347 can cost about $360\u2013$510 on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That math points to a simple rule. If you&#8217;re after one specific high-value card, buying it as a single is usually the surer route\u2014you pay a known price and get exactly what you want, instead of gambling a box on long odds. If you want several cards, enjoy the experience of opening packs, or are happy with a spread of the set, a box delivers more variety for the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Buy a box if\u2026<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Buy singles if\u2026<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You want a spread of cards from across the set<\/td><td>You want one specific high-value card<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The fun of opening packs is part of the appeal<\/td><td>You&#8217;d rather pay a known price up front<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You&#8217;re happy leaving the contents to chance<\/td><td>You can&#8217;t risk missing the chase card you want<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One caveat worth stating plainly: cards aren&#8217;t a guaranteed investment, and prices can fall as easily as they rise.

As the first printing of the set, it tends to be the choice for people who care about owning the source release rather than a later localization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price differences between versions also factor in, and they can push you one way or the other depending on your goal. There&#8217;s no single correct answer here\u2014a player chasing specific cards might weigh things differently than a collector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If owning the original matters most to you, the Japanese set is the straightforward pick. That&#8217;s the lens the rest of this section is written through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Avoid Fakes and Reprints<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-value cards attract counterfeits and tampering, so <strong>where you buy matters as much as what you buy<\/strong>. With pricier singles especially, sticking to sellers and services with a track record is the best protection you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few habits go a long way. Check the seller&#8217;s ratings and history, confirm the card number and rarity markings match the real card, and inspect the packaging or shrink wrap when buying sealed product. None of these is foolproof on its own, but together they catch most problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather not assess authenticity yourself, graded cards are an option. A card slabbed by PSA, CGC, or BGS has already been checked and authenticated, which removes much of the guesswork at the cost of a higher price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid fakes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2610 Check the seller&#8217;s ratings and history<br>\u2610 Confirm the card number and rarity markings are correct<br>\u2610 Inspect the packaging and shrink wrap<br>\u2610 Choose a graded card (PSA \/ CGC \/ BGS) if you&#8217;re unsure<br>\u2610 Use a reliable proxy buying service<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buying Japanese Shiny Treasure ex from Japan with a Proxy Service<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A proxy service bridges the gap between Japanese marketplaces and overseas buyers. Neokyo, for example, purchases items from Japanese platforms like Rakuma and Mercari on your behalf, holds them, and forwards them to you internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The terms are straightforward. Neokyo&#8217;s commission is 350 yen per item plus packaging fees, with up to 45 days of free storage and international shipping through carriers such as Japan Post, FedEx, and DHL (fees and terms as of June 2026; check Neokyo for current details).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One practical tip makes a real difference. You can search in English\u2014<strong>type &#8220;Shiny Treasure ex&#8221;<\/strong> and the service matches it against Japanese listings for you, so there&#8217;s no need to paste in Japanese text. That surfaces the original singles and boxes sold on Japanese marketplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the basic flow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Search &#8220;Shiny Treasure ex&#8221; on Neokyo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place your buy request for the listing you want<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store items free for up to 45 days and consolidate multiple buys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a carrier and ship worldwide<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure: this article contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/en\/search\/rakuma?keyword=Shiny%20Treasure%20ex&amp;provider=rakuma&amp;spid=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browse Shiny Treasure ex cards on Neokyo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Expect on Price for Singles and Boxes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For budgeting, here&#8217;s the lay of the land. A sealed Japanese box typically sits around $90\u2013$150, which makes it one of the more accessible parts of the set to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singles are where the spread widens. The top chase cards run about $360\u2013$510 for Mew ex #347, about $210\u2013$270 for Charizard ex #349, and about $120\u2013$160 for Gardevoir ex #348, all ungraded. Most other cards cost far less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These figures move with time, version, and grade, so treat them as a snapshot rather than a fixed price. Checking the latest market before you buy is always the safer play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices as of June 2026; values fluctuate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts: Is Shiny Treasure ex Worth It for You?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/i-img900x1200-177616987790936irrjb122085-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/i-img900x1200-177616987790936irrjb122085-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/i-img900x1200-177616987790936irrjb122085-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/neokyo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/i-img900x1200-177616987790936irrjb122085.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shiny Treasure ex earns its reputation, but &#8220;worth it&#8221; depends entirely on what you want from it. If you&#8217;re chasing the headline cards, the value is concentrated at the very top\u2014Mew ex #347, Charizard ex #349, and Gardevoir ex #348\u2014and buying those as singles is usually more reliable than opening boxes. If you love the ritual of opening packs and want a broad slice of the set, a box delivers more variety for around $90\u2013$150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On version, the Japanese set is the original, which makes it the natural choice for collectors who want the source printing. The English Paldean Fates and other-language versions each have their place, but they all trace back to this set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever route you take, buy carefully: stick to reputable sellers or a proxy service, check card numbers against the real thing, and remember that prices move\u2014cards are not a guaranteed investment. When you&#8217;re ready to pick up the Japanese version from overseas, a proxy service like Neokyo lets you search in English and buy the original singles and boxes from Japanese marketplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/neokyo.com\/en\/search\/rakuma?keyword=Shiny%20Treasure%20ex&amp;provider=rakuma&amp;spid=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browse Shiny Treasure ex cards on Neokyo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure: this article contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
