Special/secret art pulls from Scarlet ex are meaningfully scarce, though the set has had ample print runs as a flagship launch set.

Smoliv has a solid cute-Pokémon fanbase and JP-exclusive art appeal, but lacks the top-tier meta or fan-favorite status of heavy hitters like Eevee-lines or starters.

catalyst

Scarlet ex is no longer a freshly released set, so momentum has plateaued, though Smoliv retains steady casual collector interest.
