Short answer: Wild Force has the broader value, with six cards of €27 or more. Cyber Judge has one clear top card, Bianca's Devotion SAR (about €69), but drops off quickly below it.
Both sets were released on January 26, 2024. They brought ACE SPEC cards back into the game and together form the second Paradox duo: Wild Force with the 'ancient', Cyber Judge with the 'future' Paradox Pokémon.

Where's the difference?
Wild Force has a broad top. Next to Morty's Conviction, the Raging Bolt ex, Walking Wake ex and Gouging Fire ex SARs are all between €27 and €39. More important if you open a box: two cards that aren't SARs also count. You pull the Gengar ex SR (about €34) and the Gastly AR (about €27) more often than a SAR, because a box usually contains one SR and three Art Rares.
Cyber Judge revolves around one card. Bianca's Devotion SAR is worth more than twice as much as number two, the Iron Crown ex SAR. Below that, most hits are around €5 to €10. The set does contain Prime Catcher, the most expensive ACE SPEC of the duo, and you normally pull it once per box in the ACE SPEC slot — though it's one out of three possible.
Why not just Temporal Forces?
In English, both sets were combined into Temporal Forces (March 22, 2024). There you open the cards from both halves mixed together, in a larger set. In Japanese, you choose which half to open. More about those differences in Japanese vs English cards.
Our advice
- Want the best chance of a valuable card? Wild Force: more cards at the top, and the SR and AR hits count too.
- Going for the one big hit? Cyber Judge, with Bianca's Devotion as the most expensive card of the duo.
- Do you collect Gengar? Wild Force, without a doubt.
In both sets a SAR isn't a sure thing: on average there's one in five to six boxes. Buy a box for the opening, not for the expected return. Also read pull rates of Japanese sets.
