- Summary: The most expensive cards from Ancient Roar (SV4K), with Roaring Moon ex SAR well in the lead. Plus what you can realistically expect per box.


The most expensive card from Ancient Roar (SV4K) is Roaring Moon ex #090 (SAR), with an indicative value of about €64 in ungraded condition (as of October 21, 2026).

Ancient Roar was released on October 27, 2023, on the same day as its sister set [Future Flash](/en/products/future-flash-sv4m-booster-box). Where Future Flash brings the Paradox Pokémon from the future, Ancient Roar revolves around their counterparts from the distant past.

## The most striking thing about this list

Roaring Moon ex SAR is far ahead at the top: the card is worth more than twice as much as number two. Below it, it's striking how strongly the trainer cards score. Mela and Professor Sada's Vitality are second and third as SARs, and Sada's Vitality even makes the top 10 as a regular SR. In Japan, full-art trainers are collected for the illustration, regardless of their value in the game.

## What to expect per box

- **30 packs of 5 cards**

-
**95 cards**: 66 in the main set plus 29 secret rares

- about **3× Art Rare**, out of 12 possible

-
**4 to 5× RR** (Pokémon ex)

- usually **1× SR or better**

- SAR: about **1 in 6 boxes**; UR: about **1 in 10 boxes**


The Pokémon Company doesn't publish official pull rates; these are estimates based on Japanese box openings. So a box without a SAR is the normal outcome, not bad luck. More background in [pull rates of Japanese sets](/en/blogs/news/pull-rates-japanse-pokemon-sets).

## Japanese or English?

In English, the cards from Ancient Roar appeared in _Paradox Rift_ (November 3, 2023), together with those from Future Flash and extra cards. That English set is therefore much larger. The Japanese release is smaller and split by theme: if you're looking for a Roaring Moon, you only open cards from the 'past' half. Torn between the two sister sets?
