Twilight Masquerade at a glance
Scarlet & Violet, Twilight Masquerade released in English on 24 May 2024. It’s themed around the Kitakami region from The Teal Mask, and four masked Tera Ogerpon ex lead the set. It combines two Japanese sets: Mask of Change and Crimson Haze.
Set size: 226 cards, with 167 in the main set and 59 secret rares.
Lead Pokémon: Ogerpon, in its four masked forms.
Japanese equivalents: Mask of Change and Crimson Haze.
With 59 secret rares, the Twilight Masquerade card list has plenty to chase, but the 167-card main set is still a manageable target for a dedicated collector.
The best cards on the Twilight Masquerade card list
These are the cards collectors want most. We’ve left prices out because they shift regularly, but this order reflects demand.
Greninja ex (214/167)
The Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare is the standout. Greninja is hugely popular, and this artwork is one of the best of the era.
Perrin (220/167)
Perrin, the photographer from The Indigo Disk, gets a beautiful Trainer Special Illustration Rare. It’s become a favourite with art collectors.
Eevee and Chansey
The Eevee Illustration Rare (188/167) and the Chansey Illustration Rare (187/167) are two of the most charming cards in the set. They’re affordable compared with the big ex cards and look great in a binder.
Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex (216/167)
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the new Pokémon from Kitakami, and its Special Illustration Rare captures the moody, autumnal feel of the region perfectly.
Carmine and Sinistcha ex
Carmine (217/167) and Sinistcha ex (210/167) round out the popular Special Illustration Rares. Carmine is a fan favourite character from The Teal Mask.
How to collect the Twilight Masquerade card list
Start with the main set. 167 cards is achievable with a booster box and some trading.
Collect the masks. A fun mini goal is to collect all four masked Ogerpon. It’s an easy theme to build a page around.
Keep a checklist. Have the Twilight Masquerade card list on your phone and tick off cards as you open.
Buy the last few as singles. Chasing the Greninja ex in packs can take a while.
Older sets get harder to find sealed over time, so if you’re thinking of opening Twilight Masquerade, it’s worth doing it while products are still around.
Which product should you buy?
Here’s what we’d look at today.
Half booster box
Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex box
Japanese Mask of Change
Elite Trainer Box
The Elite Trainer Box with Ogerpon on the front is a lovely display piece, with packs, a promo and accessories.
Half booster box
The half booster box is a great way to open a good number of packs without buying a full display.
We think so. The Kitakami theme gives it a strong identity, the Illustration Rares are some of the most charming of the era and Greninja ex gives it a proper headline chase. It’s also a set with lots of mid-priced cards, so you can build a great-looking binder without breaking the bank.
If you love Greninja, our Pokémon Chaos Rising guide covers the newer Mega Greninja ex set, which makes a great companion.
Who it suits
Fans of The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk, Greninja collectors and anyone who loves Illustration Rares. It’s also a nice set for players, as Ogerpon ex had a real impact on the competitive game.
A note on the Ogerpon masks
The four masked Ogerpon ex are Teal, Wellspring, Hearthflame and Cornerstone. Each mask gives Ogerpon a different type, and collecting all four is one of the most satisfying mini goals on the Twilight Masquerade card list. They look fantastic in a row.
Looking after older cards
Because this set is a couple of years old now, it’s worth checking older pulls for wear before you put them in a binder. Store them upright, away from sunlight, and keep your best cards in top loaders. A bit of care keeps them looking sharp for years.
Trading tips for this set
Because the Twilight Masquerade card list has so many Illustration Rares, it’s a brilliant set for trading. Bring your spares to a local league or card shop night and you’ll usually find someone hunting the exact Eevee or Chansey you’ve got doubles of. Trading also means you meet other collectors, which, honestly, is one of the best parts of the hobby.
