SV5 — Paradox Pokémon and returning ACE SPECs. Grass gets Iron Leaves ex SIR, Water gets Walking Wake ex SIR. Two S-tier slots sharing the top.
View Live Breaks →Temporal Forces (SV5) released March 2024 as the fifth Scarlet & Violet expansion. It introduced ACE SPEC cards — a powerful 1-per-deck mechanic returning from the Black & White era — and featured both ancient-form (Walking Wake, Raging Bolt) and future-form (Iron Leaves, Iron Crown) Paradox Pokémon. The set has 218 total cards including 36 Secret Rares.
For breaks, Temporal Forces is notable because the top value is split across two types rather than concentrated in one, making it fairer than sets like Obsidian Flames where Fire dominates.
ACE SPEC Trainer cards pull at roughly 1-per-booster-box and have no type affiliation — they go to whoever the host assigns (typically a random slot draw). Cards like Poké Ball (Gold ACE SPEC) and Neo Upper Energy add $15–40 of bonus value per box opened.
