About Battle Partners
What Battle Partners is
Battle Partners is the ninth Japanese expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, released on January 24, 2025 with the set code SV9. It has 100 cards in the numbered set plus 32 secret cards, 132 in total, sold in packs with 30 to a box, and its cards reached English inside Journey Together. The set brings back Trainer's Pokémon, a mechanic first seen in Gym Heroes, with N's Zoroark ex 61, Lillie's Clefairy ex 33, Hop's Zacian ex 69 and Iono's Bellibolt ex 30 among eight Pokémon ex.
The 32 secrets run from 101 to 132: twelve art rares from Maractus 101 to Hop's Wooloo 112, full art prints of the eight Pokémon ex from 113 to 120, three full art Supporters, the special art rares from Volcanion ex 124 to Salamence ex 129, and the gold Iono's Bellibolt ex 130, N's Zoroark ex 131 and Spiky Energy 132.
What makes Battle Partners different
- Trainer's Pokémon return N, Lillie, Hop and Iono each own Pokémon in the set, and the special art rares Lillie's Clefairy ex 126 and Iono's Bellibolt ex 125 are the two most valuable regular prints in PSA 10.
- The N's Zoroark ex misprint A misprint of the gold N's Zoroark ex 131 is tracked at the very top of the chase list, far above the standard print of the same card, which ranks in the top fifteen.
- Art rares with Trainers The art rare run carries the Trainers' partners too, with N's Reshiram 109 and Articuno 102 in the set's top eight in PSA 10.
How Battle Partners arrived
Battle Partners was teased on August 18, 2024 at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Pokémon World Championships and revealed in full at the Osaka Champion's League on December 21 to 22, 2024. It followed Terastal Festival ex of December 6, 2024 and released in Japan on January 24, 2025 alongside a Deck Build Box and the Collection File Sets for N and Lillie, with a SV-P promo Iono's Wattrel as a booster box purchase bonus. Heat Wave Arena followed on March 14, 2025, and the English Journey Together arrived on March 28, 2025.
Battle Partners products
Battle Partners was sold in Japanese booster packs and 30 pack booster boxes, with two Collection File Sets released the same day. The sealed table above tracks all of them.
Collecting and grading Battle Partners
The misprint N's Zoroark ex 131 leads the chase list in PSA 10, with Lillie's Clefairy ex 126 and Iono's Bellibolt ex 125 behind it, then the regular Mamoswine ex 46, Salamence ex 129, N's Zoroark ex 127, N's Reshiram 109 and Articuno 102. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value.
Japanese print quality keeps PSA 10 rates high, so graded premiums are modest and concentrate on the special art rares and the misprint. Sealed Battle Partners is widely available, and the sealed table above tracks what boxes, packs and File Set Collections trade for today.
