Yeah, we know about the leak. I was just confused a little because of the way the text was written but it might be that they are just considering the SIR together with the FAs like they sometimes do when they cut some cards from the set.
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
I wonder if this means Dark and Metal energy will not be in the set since it only mentions hyper pokémon.
Cool set lame name
Finally Ceruledge getting some love!
Looking forward to this, as I do most sets anyway lol.

Show me a world where Charizard is cheap, and I'll show you a world where cats and dogs live together in a display of mass hysteria.
Wait... Mimikyu getting a shiny illustration rare even though it had no normal ir this gen means we can get shiny Luxray as an illustration rare too. Let's pray. 
Baby shinies are way more interesting imo. I mean they still arent terribly interesting but having new artwork way better than just a plain old boring recolor
i really hope this doesn’t just become their stock name for every set they can’t think of a good name for… we already have 2 now, if we get any more “Paldea(n) ___” sets im gonna be so annoyed lol. not a huge deal obviously but it would be nice to see something a liiiittle more imaginative??…
Well, with Mimikyu most likely being a promo and Mew/Charizard being confirmed special illustration rares...
I think it is safe to say that the special illustration rares in this set are most likely based off of Hyper Rares up until 151.
Let's say then we have the following pool to pick from:
Miraidon ex [Holofoil]
Koraidon ex [Holofoil]
Meowscarada ex [Holofoil]
Skeledirge ex [Holofoil]
Quaquaval ex [Holofoil]
Chien-Pao ex [Holofoil]
Ting-Lu ex [Holofoil]
Charizard ex [Holofoil] - confirmed
Mew ex [Holofoil] - confirmed
Not sure what the 3 illustration rares are; however, they could be one of each of the Paldean starters or something else unrelated.

I don't think we'll get shiny versions of Miraidon, Koraidon, Ting-Lu and Chien-Pao since they are shiny locked in-game. They might be the gold cards though (like they did with Zacian, Zamazenta and Eternatus).
There are 2. The full art remains a promo in the tin, and the alt art remains in the actual set as a double gold star.
I also wanna call attention to the six raised-foil hyper rares. I'm pretty sure these might be a bit fancier than your standard gold hyper rares (like with the black gold cards in Shining Fates), so I'm not entirely sure what they're planning here with these last six cards...
We are going to get 20 versions of this card by the time it rotates.
Maybe they'll be like the ones from Crown Zenith, SIRs but golden?
If they make a gold SAR Charizard ex, it's gonna be a wrap
MITSUHIRO ARITA SHINY MIMIKYU ART RARE?!? It's a WRAP!!
I had a feeling that they were going to continue the "Fates" naming scheme for the Shiny Vault sets but I wish the name was something like "Treasured Fates" because that would both tie into the Japanese name and Paldea's whole Treasure Hunt concept.
(also this means that 3 out of the 6 SV sets so far have set codes starting with PA (PAL, PAR, PAF) which is fun)
