Surging Sparks Chase Cards: Pikachu ex and Latias ex
Five exact cards for a Pikachu-first page, a Latias and Latios pair, or a quieter Milotic anchor.
Pikachu ex 238/191 is the clear top Surging Sparks chase in BinderDex's August 19 snapshot.
Latias ex 239/191 and Milotic ex 237/191 follow it on this article's price board. Gold Pikachu
ex 247/191 offers a gold-finish Pikachu option, while Latios 203/191 completes a matching
Latias page.
Surging Sparks released on November 8, 2024. Its English checklist starts with a 191-card main set
and runs through secret-numbered cards to 252/191. The Surging Sparks set
page lists those 252 numbered cards. BinderDex also tracks card
variants, so its set record can show more rows than the numbered checklist. Use the collector
number when you compare a listing, a binder pocket, or a card you already own.

The current five-card price board
This article's board order lists five editorially selected cards by their August 19 display price. It is not a full-set top-five ranking. Display prices are dated context and cannot describe a specific copy, completed sale, or future result.
| Board order | Card | Collector number | Rarity | Display price | 7-day context | 30-day context |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pikachu ex | 238/191 | Special Illustration Rare | $291.55 | -$8.52 (-2.84%) | -$62.52 (-17.66%) |
| 2 | Latias ex | 239/191 | Special Illustration Rare | $176.60 | +$1.83 (+1.05%) | -$19.73 (-10.05%) |
| 3 | Milotic ex | 237/191 | Special Illustration Rare | $126.64 | -$0.68 (-0.53%) | -$5.44 (-4.12%) |

The full production price list placed Durant ex 236/191 at $37.36 and Hydreigon ex 240/191 at
$36.85 above Latios. Latios belongs on this board because it pairs with Latias under the
collector-board rule.

Price board and collector board are different jobs
The price board uses one dated market observation. The collector board uses the card you want to see, the pair you want to complete, or the part of the set you want to represent. Price helps describe the moment; your page rule determines the selection.
Other Surging Sparks cards can matter to other collectors. This five-card selection is a usable binder page rather than an exhaustive top-five claim. The two Pikachu printings cover a primary card and a gold finish. Latias and Latios share illustrator OKACHEKE and a sunset palette. Milotic adds a third visual anchor for collectors who want a different character on the page.
Pikachu ex 238/191 is the top chase
Pikachu ex 238/191 is a Special Illustration Rare illustrated by GIDORA. Its prismatic Stellar
crown and crystal composition make it read like the set poster when it occupies the center of a
binder page. It held the highest display price in this snapshot at $291.55. Its seven-day and
30-day changes were both negative, useful context for a dated number rather than a verdict on any
listing's condition, photos, or asking price.

compare it with gold Pikachu ex 247/191. The two printings share a character and set while using
different collector numbers and display rows.
Latias ex 239/191 is second on this board
Latias ex 239/191 is a Special Illustration Rare illustrated by OKACHEKE. OKACHEKE places
Latias above a city at sunset, creating a calmer focal point beside Pikachu. It displayed at
$176.60, second among these five editorial selections. Its seven-day change was +$1.83, while its
30-day context was -$19.73.
Those movements frame a comparison rather than a purchase decision.

Latias is a strong second anchor when you want a focal card outside Pikachu. It also sets up a
clear choice with Latios 203/191: collect the pair, collect Latias alone, or reserve the second
pocket for another card from the numbered checklist.
Milotic ex 237/191 is the third anchor
Milotic ex 237/191 is a Special Illustration Rare illustrated by Kuroimori. Its restrained pale
water and botanical composition provides a visual counterweight to Pikachu's louder crystal scene.
It showed a $126.64 display price. The short-term move was -$0.68, and the 30-day change was
-$5.44. This board position only describes the five editorial selections in this article.

Milotic works as a third anchor alongside a headline Pikachu and a Latias or Latios pocket. A three-card page can pair one high-impact scene with two calmer compositions from different parts of the numbered checklist.
Gold Pikachu ex 247/191 is a different card
Gold Pikachu ex 247/191 is a Hyper Rare illustrated by aky CG Works. Its gold finish and faceted
background answer a different visual preference from the prismatic 238/191. It has its own
collector number and a $93.99 display price in this snapshot.

Choose 247/191 when a gold treatment belongs on your page. Its own condition check, checklist
slot, and display row keep that decision clear.
Latios 203/191 completes a smaller Latias route
Latios 203/191 is an Illustration Rare, also illustrated by OKACHEKE. Its coastal scene shares
Latias's warm sunset palette. The shared illustrator and palette make the two-card page feel
deliberate. It displayed at $33.22, with a -$0.93 seven-day change and a +$1.05 30-day change.

Put Latios beside Latias when the shared illustrator and sunset palette are the point of the page. Collectors choosing a single card from that pair can use Latias's higher selected-board position as context. The set checklist shows where either card sits among the numbered cards.
Build a route before you compare listings
Pick the rule for your page before you open a marketplace search. A Pikachu-first page centers
238/191. A paired page starts with Latias 239/191 and Latios 203/191. A five-card page uses
the exact numbers in the table, then adds checklist cards that fit your own collecting rule.
For each card, confirm the collector number, inspect the condition, and compare the dated display context with current evidence. The BinderDex methodology explains how the site separates card identity from market observations.
