When opening booster packs of Paldea Evolved, consider yourself lucky if you managed to pull the following cards:

Chien-Pao ex – This card together with Ting-Lu ex are some of the best cards that you can find in the set if you’re building a deck that fits the current meta. You can even get yourself a worthy collectible if you found a copy of the Chien-Pao Special Illustration Rare card. 

Illustration Rare Magikarp – While seeing a Magikarp in the games isn’t a rare sight, this Magikarp from Paldea Evolved has been receiving lots of attention due to its distinctive artwork, which is inspired by a tale from Chinese mythology.

Iono – Just like Scarlet and Violet Base Set’s Miriam, Iono is another Paldean character that gained some popularity due to her charisma and unique fashion style. Moreover, Iono cards are quite powerful as they can disrupt strategies, especially if you already have all the cards that you need in your hand.
