Twilight Masquerade Chase Cards Ranked

Twilight Masquerade Chase Cards Ranked

SV06: Twilight Masquerade released May 24, 2024, as a 226-card expansion built around the Kitakami region and the Teal Mask DLC characters. Sixteen months later, the set's chase list is settled: a $372 Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare leads, a trainer SIR at $165 follows, and eight cards total clear the math for a grading submission. Below is the full ranked list with September 2026 prices from our catalog and a grading verdict on each.

The SV06 Chase Structure

Twilight Masquerade's base set runs 167 cards. Secret rares extend the checklist to 226, split across Illustration Rares (IRs), Ultra Rares, and Special Illustration Rares (SIRs). The tier structure is sharper than most Scarlet and Violet sets: one card at $372 creates a gap that does not close until $165. Below the top two, eight cards sit in the $20 to $95 range that requires a grading decision rather than an automatic answer.

Greninja ex 214/167: The $372 Headline

At $371.70 raw, Greninja ex 214/167 is the highest-priced single in the set by a wide margin. The SIR art fills the entire card face with a blue-water underwater scene, which creates two specific grading risks. First, the open water field amplifies any surface scratch or print line, the way pale art does on Mew ex in Paldean Fates. Second, modern SIR frames run close to the card border, so a centering read requires measuring to the printed frame, not the physical card edge.

The competitive angle matters here: Greninja ex is a legitimate deck card in standard format. Competitive demand keeps the card traded and its PSA 10 premium above the standard multiplier for a card this price. Run the ZeroPop scan before submission to confirm all four axes. Corners and centering fail more SIR submissions than surface does in this price range, and you want to know before you pay the fee.

Submit any copy above $200 raw that scans clean. The gap between a PSA 10 and a 9 at this price point is enough to justify a fast service tier.

Perrin 220/167: The Trainer Chase at $165

Perrin at $164.69 is the set's trainer SIR, showing the Kitakami DLC character against a dark forest backdrop with her Bloodmoon Ursaluna beside her. Trainer SIRs tend to hold value longer than Pokemon SIRs of the same tier because they serve a different collector need: Pokemon SIR buyers usually want a specific Pokemon, but trainer buyers often build themed sets around a character across multiple sets.

The dark, atmospheric art is forgiving on centering, since there is no bright frame reference to offset against, but dense foil fields hide scratches under normal light and reveal them under angled UV inspection. Check the surface under three different light sources before submitting. Any Perrin that passes a thorough surface check is worth the fee at $165 raw.

Eevee, Carmine, and Chansey

These three cards occupy the $55 to $95 range and share one common characteristic: the price is driven by name recognition rather than pull rate.

Eevee 188/167 at $95.12 follows the same pricing pattern as Pikachu and Chansey IRs in other recent sets, where the character's consistent demand pushes the card well above others at the same rarity. The IR finish has less foil than an SIR, which generally means surface is easier to grade, but centering on a character art that fills a distinct background border needs close attention.

Carmine 217/167 at $55.37 and Chansey 187/167 at $55.18 are almost identical prices for very different reasons. Carmine is a DLC character whose story role in The Teal Mask drives collector demand. Chansey is the Gen 1 legacy effect: the same name recognition that pushes Chansey to premium prices in other sets applies here, even though its HP-based game role is different. Both are worth submitting on a clean copy at current prices.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex 216/167

At $47.87 raw, this is the Pokemon ex SIR that defines the Kitakami creature roster in this set. Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex uses a dark red-orange art that stands out against the rest of the set's blue-toned color palette, and the full art composition with Ursaluna ex in a moonlit clearing covers a large foil area.

At $47.87 raw, a PSA 10 needs to sell near $100 or higher to clear a fast-service fee. That multiple is realistic on a popular Pokemon ex SIR, but it is tighter than the top three cards in this set. Check corners and surface carefully. A copy graded 9.5 by the community, like the scan above, is a good benchmark for where the surface and corners need to be before you commit to a submission.

Lana's Aid and Hisuian Growlithe

Lana's Aid 219/167 at $40.34 is a supporter card SIR, an unusual rarity for a non-Pokemon card in this tier. Lana is an Alola trial captain, and her recurring appearances across multiple sets give the card a collector base beyond just Twilight Masquerade buyers. At $40, the grading math requires a clear 3x or better PSA 10 multiple, which is possible for a desirable trainer SIR but not guaranteed. Run a scan first and decide based on whether all four axes are clean.

Hisuian Growlithe 181/167 at $28.43 is the regional form IR, priced at the low end of what makes submission viable. The fluffy, textured art creates a surface risk that is hard to confirm from a photo. Only submit a copy where ZeroPop's surface grade is clean. A borderline surface scan on a $28 card is a reason to sell raw, not to hope the grading company disagrees.

What Not to Grade

Tatsugiri 186/167 at $23.19 is a skip. At that price, a standard PSA service fee recovers to breakeven only on a perfect 10 that somehow commands a 3x raw multiple. The round fish art is low-profile enough that demand for a graded copy has not materialized above the raw price in any meaningful way over 16 months of sales data. Sell raw.

The base cards, numbered 1 through 167, are not submission candidates regardless of which Pokemon they feature. Dragapult ex, Greninja ex, and Sinistcha ex all have base set printings under $3. None come close to recovering a grading fee. The same logic applies to the Teal Mask Ogerpon ex base version at $2.90 and the Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex at $0.91.

Do not confuse the base Greninja ex at $2.25 with the SIR at $372. They are different cards with the same name.

Grading Mechanics for SV06

Twilight Masquerade's SIRs split into two surface types. The Kitakami nature cards, Greninja ex and Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, use full-bleed water or forest art where surface scratches appear against open background fields. The trainer SIRs, Perrin, Carmine, and Lana's Aid, use denser foil saturation against darker backgrounds. Scratches hide under normal viewing but appear at angles under UV. Both surface types fail submissions; they just fail under different inspection conditions.

IRs, Eevee, Chansey, and Hisuian Growlithe, have lighter foil than SIRs. Surface is generally cleaner to evaluate, but centering against the visible frame border is the axis that catches the most IRs at 9 instead of 10. Measure the printed frame edge to physical edge distance on all four sides before submitting. A consistent scan helps identify which axis is borderline; see how to grade Pokemon cards for the full axis breakdown.

The ZeroPop Verdict

Submit: Greninja ex 214/167, Perrin 220/167, Eevee 188/167 on a clean scan, Carmine 217/167 on a clean scan, Chansey 187/167 on a clean scan, Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex 216/167 with surface confirmation.

Borderline: Lana's Aid 219/167 at $40. The math works on a 10, does not work on a 9.5. Only submit if ZeroPop returns clean grades across all four axes.

Skip: Hisuian Growlithe unless the scan is exceptional, Tatsugiri at $23 regardless, and the entire base set below 168/167. If you are comparing Twilight Masquerade's chase list to other SV sets from the same era, Stellar Crown covers SV07 and Paldean Fates covers the shiny vault set from January 2024, which has the highest raw card price in the SV era at $947.

For the is my card worth grading math, the threshold for a standard PSA service tier is roughly $75 raw and a realistic 3x to 4x PSA 10 multiple. Five of the nine cards above 168/167 in Twilight Masquerade clear that threshold today.
