Pokémon TCG Twilight Masquerade: Ogerpon's Four Masks and What They Mean for Collectors
By Dexhaul Team · August 13, 2026
No other Scarlet & Violet set headlined a single Pokémon in four different types at once. Twilight Masquerade did exactly that.
Twilight Masquerade, the sixth set in the Scarlet & Violet era (SV06), released in the US on May 24, 2024. Its 167-card base set introduced Ogerpon ex in all four of its mask forms, each carrying a different type. For collectors, that shift from "one Pokémon, one card" to "one Pokémon, eight targets" changes how you approach the entire set.
This is not a format guide. It's an explanation of why Twilight Masquerade works the way it does, and which product makes sense depending on what you're actually chasing.
One Pokémon, Four Types
In most sets, a Pokémon gets one ex card. Ogerpon got four.
Each of Ogerpon's mask forms is treated as a separate Pokémon in the TCG, with its own type, attack, Ability, and retreat cost. Teal Mask Ogerpon ex is Grass type. Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex is Water. Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex is Fire. Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex is Fighting. The type splits directly from the lore of the Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where each mask changes Ogerpon's form and element entirely.
That four-way split is genuinely unusual for a set. Prior Pokémon with alternate forms in the TCG, like Rotom or Vivillon, rarely had all forms treated as distinct ex cards in a single release. Twilight Masquerade made all four the centerpiece simultaneously.
Eight Ogerpon ex Cards to Collect
Here's where Twilight Masquerade creates a collector challenge most sets don't.
Each of the four mask forms has two ex cards: the standard ex card and a Special Illustration Rare (SIR) with full-art alternate artwork. Four forms times two variants equals eight distinct Ogerpon ex cards in the set. That's more ex variants for a single species than any other set in the Scarlet & Violet era delivered. Completing all eight requires either sustained pulling across booster boxes or deliberately targeting singles.
Among the four forms, Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex earned the most competitive attention. Its Ability, Aqua Return, sends it back to your hand after attacking, making it an unusual attacker that avoids being stuck in the active spot. That playability pushed both the standard ex and the SIR into higher demand relative to the other forms, a dynamic documented across the set's release window by Serebii.
The SIR variants for all four forms feature large, landscape-style illustrations that occupy the full card face. Collectors who want the complete Ogerpon ex run without opening cases typically track each SIR as a separate singles purchase rather than chasing them from packs.

The Loyal Three: Three More ex Targets
Ogerpon is the headline, but three other Pokémon share the spotlight.
Munkidori ex, Fezandipiti ex, and Okidogi ex, the "Loyal Three" from the Teal Mask DLC, each appear as ex cards with their own SIR variants. That adds six more collector targets beyond the eight Ogerpon ex cards. In practice, the Loyal Three SIRs command attention from collectors who want a complete Twilight Masquerade ex gallery, not just the Ogerpon run.
The set also includes ACE SPEC cards, an ultra-rare card type that follows a one-per-deck restriction in competitive play. ACE SPEC cards are among the harder pulls in any Scarlet & Violet set, and Twilight Masquerade's ACE SPEC lineup drew both competitive and collector interest at release.
Which Twilight Masquerade Format to Buy
The format question depends on what you're after: a specific card, a casual opening experience, or a complete set.
Single packs
Single booster packs run around $8–$10 USD from independent sellers. This is the lowest-commitment entry, fine for casual pulls but not realistic if you're targeting specific SIRs.
Booster Bundle
The official Booster Bundle contains six packs. At around $75 USD, it's a clean mid-tier option if you want a small opening experience without committing to a full ETB. It also makes a practical gift for someone familiar with the set.
Build and Battle Box
The Build and Battle Box includes four packs and a 40-card ready-to-play deck. At around $42 USD, it's the entry format for players who want to learn the set's mechanics before investing further. Not oriented toward collector pulls.
Elite Trainer Box
The standard ETB includes eight booster packs, card sleeves, energy cards, and accessories. Twilight Masquerade also received a Pokémon Center exclusive ETB variant with a different design, now available from secondary sellers. The PC ETB tends to run higher because of its limited original distribution.
Booster Box
A full booster box contains 36 packs. At around $374–$630 USD depending on the seller, it's the most thorough way to explore the complete set. Collectors chasing all four Ogerpon ex SIRs or the Loyal Three SIRs often find a booster box gives better odds than piecemeal purchasing, though guarantees remain off the table. Price variation across sellers is wide; shopping independently tends to surface the best rates.
Half booster boxes (18 packs) are also available through some sellers, typically in the $189–$194 USD range. They're a practical middle ground for collectors who want more than a bundle but aren't ready for a full case investment.
The Short Version
Twilight Masquerade is the Scarlet & Violet set most demanding of collector patience, not because of low pull rates, but because it spread a single Pokémon across eight distinct collector targets. If you are chasing a specific Ogerpon ex form or SIR, knowing exactly which card you want before you open anything will save significant money over blind pulling.
