Paldea Evolved has long been thought of as the Best Pokemon Card set in the Scarlet and Violet block. With amazing Illustration Rares such as Magikarp and beautiful Special Illustration Rares such as Iono, Paldea Evolved has been the perfect blend of a Pokemon Card set that is both competitive and collectible.
However, as Paldea Evolved continues to climb in price and a Pokemon Card reprint is yet to be announced, it seems like there may be a better set to open to get your Pokemon Card fix. Paradox Rift was our first introduction to Paradox Pokemon and is similar in size to Paldea Evolved. While pull rates might be a little more difficult with Paradox Rift, it also features some amazing Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares. On top of that, Paradox Rift also features some of the most competitive Pokemon Trainer Cards in the game currently with Earthen Vessel and Counter Catcher. The best part of it all is that Paradox Rift is also readily available at low prices. With Booster Boxes easily found below $100, has Paradox Rift taken over as the best Pokemon Set to buy in Scarlet & Violet? Let's talk about it!

I think timing worked against Paradox Rift, as it was sandwiched between two more popular sets. One had Nostalgia (SV 151) and the other more fun to open with better pull rates (Paldean Fates).
It is an underrated set (right now) with some fantastic artworks. The SIR Altaria is 🔥🔥
Also good points!
I was cool with it. I got a case for $520 shipped 😁
Paldean fates better pull rates? Good one
@@apenguincannotfly It has the best pull rates of the S&V era.
Safari zone still has cases for $560 shipped and I didn’t have to pay taxes… 🤷♂️!
Sets like this and Paldea will do well in the long term having more illustration rares than any of the current sets, and many of them are BEAUTIFUL. Plus some amazing SIRs (Altaria) and will create a lot of nostalgia for kids growing up on this era with paradox pokemon (roaring moon, iron valiant, gholdengo, etc).
Love me some gholdengo!
Paldea Evolved and Twilight Masquerade are my current favorites
paldea evolved sucks
@@coreymccurrysaid no one ever lmao
@@coreymccurryam not a fan of it either
Danny you are so humble and way to generous! I absolutely love watching your videos! You do so much for the community, and you have the best information out there!
Danny’s brain: sees Plusle… “ well that must sound out Plooslay “
Me : JDOSKSBXOALAKAOD XBA!!
Yes, so is base set and Paldea Evolved.
I really think that this will be seen as one of the greats of this era in the future. The common sentiment around this set right now is very similar to how Paldea Evolved was treated half a year ago- being dismissed and forgotten. And don’t even get me started on this generation’s base set, one of the most underlooked sets in TCG history
Completely agree with everything you said, I’m pretty happy I was there for these set’s releases. Not only did I get the cards before their eventual spikes, I feel like most people who did care about these set’s were the fans who like all Pokémon and tend to not care about monetary value. It feels like a win for the real fans!
Hahaha, Appreciate the shout out for my guy Larry. Almost half way through the binder.
Loved collecting paradox rift!
I think paradox reft is very undervalued for the stunning artwork...
There alot of BANGERS 🔥 🔥 💯 💪 in that set...
Paradox, Paldea evolved and temporal forces are the best main sets in my opinion
Loved this video! The first booster box I opened was paradox rift! Opened a few packs from it every weekend for a month, and did the same analysis as I went through the box. Got 12 hits (about half were EX), and last pack Magic was my fav. Sandy shocks sir
Huh…. Danny good sir. I honestly cannot think of anyone else who actively tells people not to buy their products. 💪 just a decent human being…. Maybe not the best at business, but a decent human being 😅💪
For sure man!!
Paradox was nice because the pulls were a little harder than the first three SV sets but not terrible like the last two SV sets. I think it hit a sweet spot. It's also nice because it is a large set
Just about done my Paradox rift master set and im starting to work on paldea evolved. Already pulled that and some pretty big hitter sirs
Great data always good info
This was the first set that I managed to pull, just from the ETB, a first ever in my life a SIR card, which was a Rika SIR which also was my favourite chase card since the reveal of the visuals.
And later on, I finally got to buy another chase card which was Iron Valiant SIR. Even though the pull rates were not so great in some cases, I still need to find and buy other cards from this set because... man, in my honest opinion, this set feels so good to collect and look at it, just feels so good!
great content! thank you
For sure this is a sleeper set but I am a fan now. I recommend to consider adding the roaring moon SIR to your collection. The card is beautiful in person and is very difficult to pull. I’m sure it will have its time in the spotlight one day.
...danny....please...stop selling the secret sauce! 😂😂😂
I think paradox is the best out of sve some of the best artworks so far. Pull rates a little tougher too
Danny out here with the reverse psychology! 😂😂😂
Waiting for a Paradox Rift Booster Bundle while I watch this. Arrives tomorrow. 😊
One of my lgs will sell Paradox for $500 a case out the door. All his booster boxes are priced the same but he has way more Paradox than any other…I’m two cases in and thinking of getting one or two more at that price
He’s at $600 for Temporal cases…
Paradox rift was a fun set to open, I was lucky enough to get the chase card when it came out
The Groudon or Roaring Moon?
@@matthewnick693 roaring moon. Groudon really only went up recently.
I got a rift BB on eBay for my sons bday. Sure as shit he comes out and showing me he pulled the roaring moon. I was hype like what are the chances 1 single BB off eBay and he got it. 😀
@@Cmize420 that’s amazing luck. I’m glad it happened for your son. I’m sure his reaction was priceless
Paradox is my favorite! I’m only missing the Saradas Vitality SIR and I’ll have a complete set!
On your store what kind of condition should I expect on singles?
I think the best is yet to come.
Paldea Evolved gives me the same vibes as Chilling Reign did, it’s a great set
I always felt like paradox rift was underrated. It was just released at a time when there was so much going on with 151 and other sets and the holiday season.
Thanks Danny!
Paradox rift seems to be underrated (IMO). It has some cards with artworks that are quite resounding.
So happy to get my hands on 6 ES Etbs today! Cost me $123.33 each got three of both kinds.
Canadian $$$
Omfg yes, this has been established tbh. PR is the most underrated set of the era. Next up SV base
Paldea Evolved, Paradox Rift, Temporal Forces, Twilight Masquerade and 151 have all been gread sets. Ive been loving SV era so far minus Base (which was super fun to open but has crashed super hard) and Obsidian Flames which was neither fun to open or worth master setting although that didnt stop me!
Paldea Evolved is where it’s at ❤
Me getting the last trainer box for $40 bucks at Walmart tonight
Danny, I adore your videos... but it's pronounced "Plus-ull" (Plusle) and "Mine-un" (Minun) like the words plus and minus (positive and negative charges).
Aside from your Pokemon pronunciations, thank you for sharing all the math behind Paradox Rift! Definitely my second favorite mainset behind Paldea Evolved in terms of Gallery quality.
Short answer yess
I'm in my feels😢😂
Still trying to master Paldea Evolved, only have 5 cards left but im finding it hard to pull the trigger on Magikarp. Also i cant find a Zweilous reverse for the life of me.
Paldea Evolved imo
Paradox Rift the Fusion Strike of this era?
Dannys the best!
Paldean fates and paradox rift
❤
I think the set will be largely dependent on the long term popularity of paradox pokemon. They feel a little gimmicky now, but a few years from now we may be looking back on iron hands with some nostalgia.
That’s a good point!
Damn I would love to rip a few thousand packs. That likes 100 booster boxes good god
Paradox Rift right before them ace specs ruined opening cards💔
Howdy y'all
short answer: no, cos the latter half of SV will blow it out of the water
👍🏽
151?
I've been screaming this for months
I know, right!
Just got my last cards in the mail for my master set. 🎉🎉
Congratulations! What a feeling!
Hi danny!!!
Hiiiiii!
Soooo buy singles
One thing that has kept this set under the radar is how Paldea Evolved and the two more recent sets have multiple cards in them that are more valuable currently than the most valuable card in Paradox Rift currently.
This is not to say this won’t change in the future.
I don’t look for amazing artworks so much as I look for beloved Pokemon that are featured in the set in order to gauge its future performance.
Paradox Rift should based on this be at the top of everyone’s list.
Paradox Rift is okay, but I think Paldea Evolved, Twilight Masquerade and Temporal Forces are better sets. Remember that PR has no double bangers, no Ace specs, and has atrocious pull rates. Is it a bit overlooked? Yeah probably. This is a good time to open it as it has a lot of competitive cards. Once this set loses competitive appeal, expected value will get a lot worse for a long time.
PAR pull rates are way better than TEF or TWM
I do prefer opening the latter two but that's mainly because I already opened a lot of PAR and got 90% of what I wanted
@@thomasvlekke5365 I get what you're saying, but that's not really true. I will correct myself. Hyper Rares and SIRs are significantly easier to pull yes. IRs and URs are significantly easier in TF and TM though. So it's pretty weird right? That was the whole thing Danny was talking about in a previous video, there was a problem with what types of cards were difficult to pull. This is why you see the SIRs in Paradox not doing as well, they are easier to pull and there's more of them. Idk it's just not as exciting opening PR right now as it doesn't feel like there's that big rare chase. Harder SIR pull rates have helped TF and TM do well so far. Just my 2 cents.
@@thomasvlekke5365pulling stuff out of a set thats harder to get the good pulls can be just as fun or more fun than opening a set where it’s easier
Pulled garchomp and roaring moon SIR, happy to move on. This set has great cards, should not be a sleeper in any way
1st
paldea evolved sucks so bad and im tired of you pushing it so aggressively, Danny.
Nah it’s incredible
He doesn’t need to push it, it pushes itself… the set is top tier
@@tredici72it really is it’s laughable to think otherwise
Used to be saying paldea evolved sucks, but now it seems great.
Booster box guarantees you at least 1 SIR, most the time 1 box contain 1 SIR 1 hyper. PAR on the other hand guarantees, but most the time is just 1.
Secondly, both does have an incredible amount of IRs SIRs, but paldea value much more than PAF. E.g margikarp, Iono, T.tar, raichu etc. PAF top card at most $60, so it makes ripping paldea more fun.
151 is the best set in recent years.
