Questions about Sunset Pokémon cards

How many cards are on the sunset list?

38 so far, from Friends in Sinnoh in Crown Zenith (2023) to the newest sets, and 5 of them are promos. They're all in the list above, rarest first.

What is the rarest Sunset Pokémon card?

The top of the list is the 8 Special Illustration Rares, like Ethan's Ho-Oh ex from Destined Rivals (230/182) and Salamence ex from Journey Together.

What makes a card a sunset card?

The sky in the artwork glows with a sunset: orange, pink and purple light low on the horizon, with the sun sinking behind hills, sea or city. Each card was picked by hand by looking at the art, so the list is a selection, not every card with an orange sky.

Who drew the most sunset cards?

OKACHEKE, with 4 cards, followed by kantaro (2) and Katsunori Sato (2).
