Journey Together Set Guide: Full Card List, Chase Cards, Pull Rates, and Sealed Prices
Journey Together's full card list and secret-rare numbering, estimated pull rates, the trainer-owned Pokemon chase cards led by Lillie's Clefairy ex, and the sealed board.
By Chase Society Desk
Journey Together is the Scarlet & Violet set that handed the spotlight to the trainers. Its most wanted cards do not belong to wild Pokemon at all: they belong to characters, painted as Special Illustration Rares that put a familiar partner in the frame. Lillie's Clefairy, N's Zoroark, Iono's Bellibolt, Hop's Zacian. A Pokemon carried by someone you already know from the video games is the whole idea, and it's what people remember about the set.
The complete run sits on the full Journey Together card list, all 190 cards with live prices. Save that tab first, because checking a single there is faster than anything below.
From here we cover how the numbering breaks down, which cards hold value, the rough odds of pulling them, and where the sealed product stands.
Journey Together at a Glance
- Release date: March 28, 2025, in the Scarlet & Violet (SV) era
- 159 cards in the main numbering, 190 total
- 31 secret rares above the set number, 160/159 through 190/159
- The signature layer: trainer-owned Pokemon ex rendered as Special Illustration Rares
- No gallery subset here, so the alternate-art trainer cards are the collecting hook on their own
- The headline chase: Lillie's Clefairy ex, 184/159
The trainers pulled into this set span years of games. Lillie comes out of Sun and Moon, N out of Black and White, Iono is a Scarlet and Violet gym leader, and Hop was your rival across Sword and Shield. That range is the point. The value here rides on affection for the people as much as the Pokemon beside them, and the card list stacks it onto a short row of names near the top of the numbering.
The Journey Together Card List: How It's Structured
Two blocks, and the money lives in the second one.
The main set, 001 to 159. Commons and uncommons up through the Double Rare exes and the full-art trainers, with the character-owned Pokemon threaded across the roster. This is where a competitive deck gets built.
The secret rares, 160 to 190. The Illustration Rares open the stretch, with Articuno, Wailord, and N's Reshiram among them. The Special Illustration Rares of the trainer exes cluster in the 182 to 187 band, and the gold Hyper Rares close the list at 188 and 189.
Every card, common to gold, is on the full interactive list with its current price.
Journey Together Chase Cards: What's Worth Money
Lillie's Clefairy ex, 184/159 is the card the set is built around. Clefairy is a small, soft target for this kind of treatment, and pairing it with Lillie, one of the most loved characters in modern Pokemon, is why it clears the rest of the numbering by a wide margin. The art does the work the name promises.
Behind it, the trainer exes sort themselves out by who the character is. Salamence ex, 187/159 and the N's Zoroark ex, 185/159 alt art hold the next tier, with the Iono's Bellibolt ex, 183/159 close behind.
The Hop's Zacian ex, 186/159 rounds out the group most collectors are after, and the Illustration Rares like the Articuno fill the affordable rows underneath.
The rest of the chase board:
Journey Together's Trainer Pokemon Carry the Value
Most Scarlet & Violet sets sort their chase list by which Pokemon got the best art. Journey Together sorts it by which trainer showed up.
The Special Illustration Rares here are the alternate arts of character-owned Pokemon, and a collector reaches for them the way they'd reach for the trainer themselves. Lillie's Clefairy outsells a plain Clefairy alt art by a distance no card art alone would explain, and the same logic runs down the row through N, Iono, and Hop. The Pokemon is the vehicle. The name on the card is the reason.
Buy singles out of this set with any budget in mind and the trainer exes are the decision. Everything below them fills binder pages; the character cards are the ones people build around.
Journey Together Pull Rates (Estimated)
No official odds exist. Pokemon has never published per-card rates for the Scarlet & Violet sets, so the figures here come from community box breaks and read as rough guides, not guarantees.
- A booster box holds 36 packs
- Double Rare (two-star ex): about 1 in 8 packs
- Illustration Rare: about 1 in 12 packs
- Ultra Rare (full-art Pokemon and trainers): about 1 in 13 packs
- Special Illustration Rare: about 1 in 25 to 30 packs
- Hyper Rare (gold): about 1 in 50 packs
The Special Illustration Rare slot is where every trainer ex lives, and there are enough of them competing for that slot that any one card is a small slice of a thin rate. Lillie's Clefairy is the most wanted card sharing it, which is the gap between how often the slot hits and how rarely the specific card you want falls out of it.
Journey Together Sealed: ETB and Booster Box Prices
The sealed board:
The Elite Trainer Box moves more than any other sealed unit here, so its row reads the set's demand more honestly than the booster box does. The Pokemon Center version of the ETB carries the exclusive art, which is why it sits above the standard box on the shelf.
The pattern to know is the one every Scarlet & Violet set runs into once its print window closes. A booster box holds 36 packs, and a pack sealed inside a box tends to command more than the same pack pulled loose, because the market is paying for the intact box as an object. That premium widens as the boxes get scarcer, and Journey Together is far enough from the presses now to have started down that road. We track the wider retired-sealed picture in Sealed Pokemon Is Splitting Into Two Markets.
Why Journey Together Endures
Journey Together bet that a collector cares who owns the Pokemon, and the bet paid.
Character-owned cards were not new to the hobby, but this set leaned into them harder than any modern release before it, and it lined up trainers from four different eras of games in one product. Lillie, N, Iono, and Hop each arrive with their own fanbase, and Journey Together gave every one of them a card worth chasing. That is a wider net than a single legendary on the box could ever cast.
It sits in the deep Scarlet & Violet run, near Surging Sparks and Prismatic Evolutions, both of which leaned on their own hooks. Journey Together's hook was the people. Long after the deck cards rotate out of play, the trainer alt arts are the ones that keep the set on binder shelves, because a collector who loved a character in a game tends to love the card that character shows up on.
