Temporal Forces card list top 10

The Temporal Forces top 10 reflects where competitive demand and collector enthusiasm have aligned. Based on aggregators like Pokellector and market data from SNKRDUNK Magazine (a market analysis outlet), here’s what the secondary market has settled on as of April 2025.

Ranking criteria

PSA 10 grades dominate these rankings because ungraded raw cards show wider price variance. The figures below come from PriceCharting (a price tracking platform) unless noted otherwise, and were cross-checked against SNKRDUNK’s April 2025 analysis.

• Raging Bolt ex 208/162: PSA 10 ~$199.99 (PriceCharting) vs ~$108 reported elsewhere — market is fractured across sources
• Morty’s Conviction 211/162: PSA 10 $182.64 (PriceCharting)
• Iron Crown ex 206/162: PSA 10 $124.50 (PriceCharting)
• Sawsbuck 166/162: PSA 10 $121.50 (PriceCharting)
• Deerling 165/162: PSA 10 $140.00 (PriceCharting)
• Walking Wake ex 205/162: PSA 10 $115.00 (PriceCharting)
• Gouging Fire ex 204/162: PSA 10 ~$52 reported by SNKRDUNK
• Gengar ex 104/162: PSA 10 $102.50 (PriceCharting)
• Bianca’s Devotion 209/162: PSA 10 ~$30 English vs far higher in Japanese
• Metagross 178/162: PSA 10 $134.99 (PriceCharting)

Top cards details

Raging Bolt ex commands the set’s highest price by a significant margin. According to SNKRDUNK Magazine, “ultimately, it wasn’t even close—with a price tag over 1.5 times that of its nearest competitor, Raging Bolt ex is far and away the standout chase card from Temporal Forces.” The card outvalues even Special Illustration Rares from sister sets like Iron Leaves ex and Iron Boulder ex combined.

What makes this interesting: Sawsbuck 166/162 shows how volatile the market can be. SNKRDUNK reports the card plummeted to US$19 in October 2024 before reviving to ~US$32 by 2025 PSA 10. That’s a 68% swing in under four months.

Temporal Forces card list & price

The full Temporal Forces card inventory spans 162 main cards plus 56 secret rares, according to Pokellector (an established card aggregator). The set code is TEF, and TCGCollector (a collection management platform) tracks the international TCG list including international print variants.

Full list overview

The official Pokémon TCG Official gallery provides card images and details for every numbered card in the set. JustInBasil (a visual card database) categorizes cards by type—G for Grass, R for Fire, W for Water, and so on—with 9 Trainers and 7 Special Energy cards completing the non-Pokémon lineup.

Full Art cards are classified as secret rares with numbers above the 162-card main set, per JustInBasil. This means card number 163 and above are secret rare variants only.

Ungraded and graded prices

Price spreads between ungraded and PSA 10 are substantial across the set. A few examples from PriceCharting:

• Raging Bolt ex #208: ungraded $60.27 → PSA 10 $199.99 (231% premium)
• Morty’s Conviction #211: ungraded $39.99 → PSA 10 $182.64 (357% premium)
• Metagross #178: ungraded $19.99 → PSA 10 $134.99 (575% premium)
• Sawsbuck #166: ungraded $29.70 → PSA 10 $121.50 (309% premium)

The Metagross premium is the steepest—a card you might buy raw for under $20 could be worth $135 in top grade. Whether that grade premium is worth the cost depends on whether you’re collecting for investment or play.

Temporal Forces chase cards

Chase cards in Temporal Forces cluster around two categories: ex Pokémon with competitive viability and secret rare variants with collector premium. The set’s unique distinction—first international set to include ACE SPEC cards, per Pokellector—adds another chase dimension.

Chase card types

Based on market data from SNKRDUNK and PriceCharting:

• Ultra Rare ex cards: Raging Bolt ex, Iron Crown ex, Walking Wake ex, Gouging Fire ex, Gengar ex
• ACE SPEC trainer cards: Morty’s Conviction, Bianca’s Devotion
• Illustration Rares (IR): Metagross, Sawsbuck, Deerling variants
• Special Illustration Rares: Above-standard IR variants
• Full Art variants: Secret rare cards with full-bleed artwork

Rarity highlights

The ACE SPEC inclusion is historically significant. Pokellector notes this is the first international set to feature ACE SPEC cards—previously Japan-exclusive mechanics. Morty’s Conviction #211 and Bianca’s Devotion #209 represent this new category.

The irony: Bianca’s Devotion ranks #9 in English market value (~US$30 PSA 10), yet SNKRDUNK Magazine observes that “the fact that this card only comes in at #9 on the list may surprise those who are more familiar with the Japanese version, where this card is far and away the most expensive and sought-after.” English collectors may be undervaluing this card relative to its Japanese counterpart.

Temporal Forces card list tcgplayer

TCGPlayer (a major marketplace and price guide platform) provides listings for the SV05 expansion with current market availability. Unlike aggregator-only sites, TCGPlayer shows both buy and sell listings from individual vendors.

TCGPlayer listings

TCGPlayer’s Temporal Forces price guide covers all card variants with vendor stock levels. The platform separates standard listings from graded card listings, so a PSA 10 Raging Bolt ex and an ungraded copy show different vendor availability. This matters for high-value purchases where grading verification adds cost.

Marketplace integration

Beyond pricing, TCGPlayer shows trending cards based on purchase volume. As of the latest data, ex cards with competitive tournament play see consistent volume. The PriceCharting console for the set pulls TCGPlayer prices into its aggregated database, giving you a cross-market view in one place.

For comparison, the Scarlet & Violet base set (SV1) top card Gardevoir ex #245 PSA 10 sits at $179.56 according to PriceCharting—notably lower than Temporal Forces’ top card despite being from the larger base set.

Temporal Forces card list japanese pdf

Japanese printings of Temporal Forces follow different rarity conventions than their English counterparts, and some cards have dramatically different market values between the two printings.

Japanese version details

The key difference: Bianca’s Devotion (209/162) is the most expensive Temporal Forces card in the Japanese market, according to SNKRDUNK Magazine. In English, it ranks #9. In Japanese, it commands a premium that reflects regional demand patterns.

JustInBasil offers translation data for international sets, making it easier to compare card printings across regions even if you don’t read Japanese.

PDF resources

No official PDF card list exists directly from The Pokémon Company. However, several aggregator sites offer printable formats:

• Pokellector allows filtering by rarity and type—useful for building custom export lists
• JustInBasil provides type categorization with card images you can screenshot for personal reference lists
• Collectr offers card list views with basic price overlay

For PDF-style output, Pokellector’s filter interface combined with a browser print-to-PDF workflow remains the most practical approach until an official downloadable list appears.

The premium multipliers reveal a clear pattern: lower-value ungraded cards generate outsized returns when graded PSA 10. Collectors targeting investment returns should prioritize cards like Gengar ex and Metagross where the multiplier exceeds 6×.

“Ultimately, it wasn’t even close—with a price tag over 1.5 times that of its nearest competitor, Raging Bolt ex is far and away the standout chase card from Temporal Forces [TEF].”

For buyers weighing whether to crack open a booster pack or hunt singles, the math is straightforward: pulling a raw PSA-worthy Raging Bolt ex or Morty’s Conviction likely beats the expected value of a sealed pack. The graded premium on mid-tier cards like Metagross and Deerling is steep enough that raw copies of those cards are almost never “good deals” unless you’re grading them yourself. Tournament players watching for competitive staples will find Iron Crown ex and the ACE SPEC cards most relevant for play value versus market value.
