Korean Pokémon Wild Force and Cyber Judge are paired Scarlet & Violet expansions that received their general South Korean release on March 6, 2024. Wild Force uses the SV5K set code and focuses on Ancient Pokémon, while Cyber Judge uses SV5M and centers on Future Pokémon.
Participating Pokémon Card Shops offered both products early on February 28, 2024. This guide compares the two booster releases, their headline Paradox Pokémon, ACE SPEC cards, numbered checklists, Korean booster formats, and relationship with the later English Temporal Forces expansion.

Why Wild Force and Cyber Judge Are Paired
Wild Force and Cyber Judge were released on the same Korean schedule as companion expansions, but they are not one combined set. Each has its own set code, packaging, booster packs, and checklist.
Wild Force develops Ancient Pokémon strategies, while Cyber Judge develops Future Pokémon strategies. Ancient and Future labels support different card interactions; they are not Pokémon types or rarities.
A Wild Force box contains SV5K cards. A Cyber Judge box contains SV5M cards. Purchasing one box does not provide packs from the other expansion.
Wild Force SV5K and the Ancient Pokémon Theme
Wild Force is led by three Ancient Paradox Pokémon ex:
- Walking Wake ex
- Gouging Fire ex
- Raging Bolt ex
These Pokémon resemble Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, but their official names should remain Walking Wake, Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt. They are not evolutions or regional forms of the original Pokémon.
Wild Force also includes Ancient cards such as Flutter Mane, Roaring Moon, Koraidon, and Great Tusk. Other featured Pokémon include Gengar ex, Wugtrio ex, Relicanth, and Feraligatr.
Trainer cards such as Explorer’s Guidance, Eri, Emergency Board, and Morty’s Conviction support discard-pile setup, hand disruption, switching, and other strategies.
Cyber Judge SV5M and the Future Pokémon Theme
Cyber Judge is led by three Future Paradox Pokémon ex:
- Iron Leaves ex
- Iron Crown ex
- Iron Boulder ex
These Pokémon resemble Virizion, Cobalion, and Terrakion, but the Future Pokémon names are the official card names.
Additional Future cards include Iron Thorns, Iron Valiant, Miraidon, and Iron Treads. Cyber Judge also includes Incineroar ex, Farigiraf ex, Metang, Deerling, and Sawsbuck.
Notable Trainer cards include Bianca’s Devotion, Ciphermaniac’s Codebreaking, and Hand Trimmer. They support recovery, deck setup, and hand management.
The Return of ACE SPEC Cards
Wild Force and Cyber Judge brought ACE SPEC cards back into the Scarlet & Violet era. A deck may contain only one ACE SPEC card in total.
Wild Force includes:
- Neo Upper Energy
- Awakening Drum
Cyber Judge includes:
- Prime Catcher
- Reboot Pod
Neo Upper Energy supports Stage 2 Pokémon, Awakening Drum draws cards based on Ancient Pokémon in play, Prime Catcher switches both players’ Active Pokémon, and Reboot Pod accelerates Energy to Future Pokémon.
ACE SPEC is a deck-building designation, not the same as AR, SR, SAR, or UR. An ACE SPEC card is not guaranteed in every box.
AR, SR, SAR, and UR Cards
Each expansion has a 71-card numbered base checklist followed by 29 higher-numbered cards:
- 12 AR cards
- 10 SR cards
- 5 SAR cards
- 2 UR cards
The additional cards run from 072/071 through 100/071. Because SV5K and SV5M use separate expansion marks, identical card numbers do not represent the same checklist entry.
Wild Force includes Flutter Mane AR and Relicanth AR, along with SAR versions of Walking Wake ex, Gouging Fire ex, and Raging Bolt ex.
Cyber Judge includes Deerling AR, Sawsbuck AR, and Metagross AR, plus SAR versions of Iron Leaves ex, Iron Crown ex, and Iron Boulder ex.
AR, SR, SAR, and UR are distinct printed rarity labels. Cards above 071 should not all be grouped together as Secret Rares or alternate arts.
Korean Booster-Pack and Box Configuration
Each Korean Wild Force or Cyber Judge booster pack contains five randomized cards. Each booster box contains 30 packs, producing 150 physical cards.
The boxes are sold separately. Cards are printed in Korean, duplicates may occur, and one box does not guarantee:
- A complete set
- A specific Pokémon ex
- An ACE SPEC card
- An AR, SAR, or UR card
- All three headline Paradox Pokémon
- A fixed number of higher-rarity cards
The 150-card total does not mean 150 different cards.
Korean vs. Japanese Products
The Korean releases follow the SV5K and SV5M frameworks established by the earlier Japanese products, but they differ in language, packaging, release date, distribution, and regional support.
Korean cards are official Pokémon Korea releases. Japanese pull rates, print characteristics, or box guarantees should not be applied without Korean-specific confirmation.
Wild Force and Cyber Judge vs. Temporal Forces
The English Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces expansion later featured many of the same Ancient and Future Pokémon, Trainer cards, and ACE SPEC concepts.
Temporal Forces is not the same sealed product as either Korean expansion. It differs in language, set code, numbering, checklist composition, packaging, pack size, booster-box format, and rarity terminology.
