Pokémon TCG: Storm Emeralda Secret Rares Surface Early - All 37 Cards & the Price Predictions

Three days before Storm Emeralda releases in Japan, all 37 of its secret rares are already known. PokeBeach published the complete 077/076–113/076 list on July 28 from card photos fans have been posting to social media — how the cards got out is not stated, and the official Pokémon Card database still lists none of them. Here is the full list, the one attribution that is verified, and why every yen figure circulating right now is a prediction rather than a price.

How the list got out

• Jul 23All 76 main-set cards officially revealed; our Storm Emeralda guide covers them
• Jul 26Two Illustration Rares surface ahead of the rest: Growlithe 078 and Groudon 084
• Jul 28PokeBeach publishes the complete secret-rare list from card photos posted to social media by fans
• Jul 31Storm Emeralda releases in Japan; the official database and sellers list the cards for real

PokeBeach's wording is careful and so is ours: the cards are "being posted to social media by fans." Whether that means early-opened product, distributor photos or something else is not stated anywhere, so we are not going to guess. What matters for collectors is that the full secret-rare board is public three days early — and that nothing about it is official yet.

Storm Emeralda secret rare list: all 37 cards

Numbers and names follow PokeBeach's July 28 list. PokeBeach did not attach a rarity to each card, so the tiers below follow the numbering blocks the MEGA series has used all year — treat them as the likely structure, not a confirmed one. English names are community translations until Delta Reign arrives in November.

If the block structure holds, that is 12 Illustration Rares, 8 Super Rare Pokémon ex, 10 Trainer and Energy secrets, 6 Special Art Rares and one Mega Ultra Rare. Mega Malamar ex is notable for what it does not get: an SR but no SAR — the only Mega ex in the secret list without a Special Art Rare counterpart, if the block structure holds. We are not embedding the leaked images here — none of these cards exists on an official source yet; the photo sets are on PokeBeach and PokeGuardian.

The one verified attribution: the Minami Rayquaza

PokeBeach reports that the Mega Rayquaza ex Special Art Rare at 110/076 is illustrated by Kazuki Minami, the Grand Prize winner of the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 — and that it is only the second card Minami has drawn. The first checks out: Minami's contest-winning Pikachu became an official promo card in February 2025. A contest winner's second-ever card, on the set's flagship Pokémon, at SAR, is the kind of detail that tends to concentrate demand; it is also the only illustrator attribution in the leak we could verify against an official source.

Every price you have seen is a prediction

Here is the part the hype cycle skips. As of July 29 we checked directly: the official card database carries two M6 entries and no secret prints, 遊々亭's M6 set page listed no singles, and カードラッシュ returned only supplies. No shop has sold or listed a single one of these 37 cards. Every yen figure attached to them so far is an editorial prediction — and the outlets do not agree with each other.

A sourcing note on the Raikou row: SNKRDUNK's English and Japanese editions attach that ¥7,000 figure to different cards (Talonflame ex SAR vs Raikou ex SAR). We use the Japanese attribution — no Talonflame ex SAR exists in the leaked list.

Both outlets label these as predictions, and the spread shows why that label matters: the same card is valued 2.6x to 4.1x apart depending on who is guessing. The two agree on exactly one thing — the Minami Rayquaza SAR around ¥70,000 buyback — and that consensus is itself just two editorial teams converging, not a sale. SNKRDUNK's pull-rate expectations (one SAR, SR or MUR per box, three ARs) are likewise labeled as projections from past sets, not opened-product data.

What happens Friday

At release the official database typically adds the secret prints, 遊々亭 and カードラッシュ list real singles with real asks, and the predictions above meet actual supply. Our Storm Emeralda guide gets its full update the same day: the complete card list with confirmed rarities, launch prices from Japanese sellers, and the first read on how the MUR and the Minami SAR actually open. The English versions of all 37 cards arrive with Delta Reign on November 6.
