The cards that sell Raging Surf

Which hit each customer is after, and how to use it to move the box.

  1. Rika SAR (088/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by kantaroRika SR (083/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by GIDORA

    Top 1

    Rika SAR: the card customers buy the box for

    SAR · 088/062RikaIllustration: kantaroSR · 083/062RikaIllustration: GIDORA

    Rika, a member of the Paldea Elite Four in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, stars in kantaro’s SAR, the most wanted card in Raging Surf. She is a favourite with collectors of character SARs, who buy the box for her even if the rest of the set does not interest them.

    Shop tip: put her in the window and on social media. The Rika SR (83) is a second version for customers who do not want to wait for the SAR.

  2. Garchomp ex UR (090/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by 5ban Graphics

    Top 2

    Garchomp ex UR: the gold card for openings

    UR · 090/062Illustration: 5ban Graphics

    Garchomp is one of the most recognisable dragons in the series, and its gold UR is the card that gets the biggest cheer when it turns up at an opening. A gold card turns any live stream, giveaway or in-store event into something people want to watch until the last pack.

    If you run openings online or in store, it is your best hook: players who do not follow Rika still want to see Garchomp come out.

  3. Parasol Lady SAR (089/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by En MorikuraParasol Lady SR (084/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by Cona Nitanda

    Top 3

    Parasol Lady SAR: the set’s second Trainer

    SAR · 089/062Parasol LadyIllustration: En MorikuraSR · 084/062Parasol LadyIllustration: Cona Nitanda

    En Morikura’s Parasol Lady SAR is the other big Trainer card in Raging Surf. Having two strong Trainer SARs in the same box is a clear argument for character collectors.

    It also has an SR (84), with another illustration of the same Trainer.

  4. Garchomp ex SAR (085/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by Oswaldo KATO

    Top 4

    Garchomp ex SAR: for Garchomp fans

    SAR · 085/062Illustration: Oswaldo KATO

    As well as the gold UR, Garchomp ex has a SAR by Oswaldo KATO and a full-art SR (76): three versions of the same Pokémon in one box. Customers who collect Garchomp take Raging Surf home even if the Trainers do not interest them.

  5. Gholdengo ex SAR (087/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by Akira KomayamaTapu Koko ex SAR (086/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by Jerky

    Top 5

    Gholdengo ex and Tapu Koko ex SAR: for completists

    SAR · 087/062Gholdengo exIllustration: Akira KomayamaSAR · 086/062Tapu Koko exIllustration: Jerky

    Gholdengo ex, from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, in Akira Komayama’s SAR, and Tapu Koko ex in Jerky’s round out the set’s SARs. Gholdengo also has a Gimmighoul AR (68) by the same illustrator: a pair completists want to keep together.

  6. Groudon AR (069/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by NurikabeYveltal AR (071/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by Masako TomiiPlusle AR (065/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by OKACHEKEMinun AR (066/062) from Raging Surf SV3a, illustrated by OKACHEKE

    Groudon, Yveltal, Plusle and Minun AR: what drives single-pack sales

    AR · 069/062GroudonIllustration: NurikabeAR · 071/062YveltalIllustration: Masako TomiiAR · 065/062PlusleIllustration: OKACHEKEAR · 066/062MinunIllustration: OKACHEKE

    ARs turn up far more often than SARs, and Raging Surf has two legendaries, Groudon and Yveltal, plus OKACHEKE’s Plusle and Minun pair. They are an achievable target for customers buying single packs.

    Shop tip: Plusle and Minun are collected as a pair, a good reason for customers to come back for "one more pack".

Raging Surf (SV3a) fact sheet for your shop

Raging Surf is the SV3a expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, released in Japan on 22 September 2023. Each booster box holds 30 packs of 5 cards, with a 62-card set and 30 secret rares (063 to 092): 5 SAR, 3 UR, 10 SR and 12 AR.

It is as much a Trainer set as a Pokémon one: two of its five SARs are Trainers (Rika, of the Paldea Elite Four, and Parasol Lady), and its SRs also include Larry and Shauntal. Garchomp collectors will also find the Cynthia's Garchomp ex SAR and UR in Heat Wave Arena. A month later came the twin sets Future Flash and Ancient Roar, with more Paldea Trainer SARs.

Where can I buy Raging Surf booster boxes wholesale?

Don Bananza is a Pokémon card distributor for shops and verified trade customers: we supply the Raging Surf Japanese booster box with wholesale pricing for approved customers and shipping from Spain across Europe, subject to availability.

Which card sells the Raging Surf box?

The Rika SAR (088/062) is the big draw, and the gold Garchomp ex UR (090/062) is the one that builds excitement at openings. The Parasol Lady SAR (089/062) follows, then the Garchomp ex (085/062) and Gholdengo ex (087/062) SARs.

Should I sell Raging Surf as sealed boxes or single packs?

Both work. Trainer collectors after the Rika and Parasol Lady SARs, and Garchomp fans, buy the sealed box; single packs suit customers happy with an AR such as Groudon, Yveltal or the Plusle and Minun pair.

30 packs of 5 cards (150 cards in total). The set has 62 cards and 30 secret rares: 5 SAR, 3 UR, 10 SR and 12 AR.

When was Raging Surf released?

Raging Surf is the SV3a expansion of Scarlet & Violet and was released in Japan on 22 September 2023.
