Temporal Forces - Best Cards To Pull - Pokemon TCG

March 22, 2024

Here are the best cards to pull from Temporal Forces, the latest set in the Pokemon TCG Scarlet and Violet series out today!

Temporal Forces features a massive 218 cards, so make sure you check out the Temporal Forces Card List to see which cards are your favorite.

Temporal Forces is the 5th main entry set in the Scarlet and Violet TCG Series, with the previous set being Paldean Fates!

We see a new card type return from the Black & White series: ACESPEC cards. Whilst none of these cards are super rare, they have a unique purple design that makes them stand out for this set.

We do get plenty of Illustration Rare cards with Temporal Forces, with a grand total of 22 Illustration Rare Cards and 18 Ultra Rare cards! Considering Paldean Fates only had 5 Ultra Rare cards, that's quite a big jump!

Temporal Forces adds plenty of Pokemon from the Scarlet & Violet games, including many of the new Pokemon that look familiar to old favorites like Roaring Moon and Iron Leaves EX.

Anyway, let's dive into the best cards to pull!

Best Cards To Pull from Temporal Forces

It seems like only yesterday we were ripping open Paldean Fates cards- and now we're onto Temporal Forces!

We've listed 10 of the best cards to pull from the Temporal Forces set below; some are based on popularity, others on the amazing artwork that the Pokemon company continues to produce for us. Let us know in the comments below what your favorite Temporal Forces card are!

Iron Crown Ex- Special Illustration Rare

#206
Iron Crown EX

Iron Crown EX

Special Illustration Rare

We start off our list with the Iron Crown EX Special Illustration Rare. You'll be seeing a lot of these Paradox Pokemon as they have been included in lots of the Scarlet and Violet sets so far. Temporal Forces is one of the bigger sets including them however.

Iron Crown EX is currently hitting early heights of $50- but we expect this to go down as the set releases.

Bianca's Devotion - Special Illustration Rare

#209
Bianca's Devotion

Bianca's Devotion

Special Illustration Rare

It has been a while since a Trainer card has the potential to be the most expensive card of a set (since Paldea Evolved!). Bianca features in the Black & White anime series, so it's interesting to see her pop up in a Scarlet and Violet set!

Deerling - Illustration Rare

Is this the best artwork in the entire set? No? Check the next best card below then!

Sawsbuck - Illustration Rare

#166
Sawsbuck

Sawsbuck

Illustration Rare

The Deerling and Sawsbuck go hand-in-hand (of course- Deerling evolves into Sawsbuck after all). The artwork of these two cards is brilliant and will make for great pulls even if they aren't the rarest cards in the set.

Litten - Illustration Rare

#167
Litten

Litten

Illustration Rare

We've just had Litten Community Day in Pokemon GO- so it felt only fitting to also include this Illustration Rare of Litten hiding amongst the bookcase.

Iron Leaves EX - Hyper Rare

#213
Iron Leaves EX

Iron Leaves EX

Hyper Rare

The new Hyper Rares continue in Temporal Forces. Are you liking the new designs over the old gold ones?

Iron Leaves EX is featured a total of 4 times in Temporal Forces, including a Special Illustration Rare card (see below). Is this the most popular Paradox Pokemon?

Eri - Ultra Rare

#199
Eri

Eri

Ultra Rare

The Eri Trainer Card also makes our best cards to pull list; we could have included the rarer Special Illustration Rare version too, but we just liked the close-up of Eri in the Ultra Rare version more.

Morty's Conviction - Special Illustration Rare

#211
Morty's Conviction

Morty's Conviction

Special Illustration Rare

If there is a Gengar in the card and it's a Special Illustration Rare, you bet we are going to include it! Morty is from the Johto region (wow- gen 2 trainers!) and is a Gym Leader of the Ecruteak City gym. Do you remember beating him in Gold and Silver?

Iron Leaves Ex- Special Illustration Rare

#203
Iron Leaves EX

Iron Leaves EX

Special Illustration Rare

Currently the most expensive card from the whole Temporal Forces set; Iron Leaves Ex Special Illustration Rare is the top pull for those wanting to get the high-priced ticket items. Currently sitting at around $70, do you think this card will maintain it's value?

Master Ball (ACE SPEC)- Rare Holo

#153
Master Ball

Master Ball

Rare Holo

We finish off the list with the Master Ball Ace Spec card. ACESPEC are "new" to Temporal Forces, so we thought it only fitting it gets a spot on our best cards list.

So what do you think? What are you favorite cards from Temporal Forces and which are you hoping to pull? Leave a comment below!
