Pokemon
Scarlet & Violet
A set that works well for completion planning because it mixes affordable binder cards with a handful of high-attention pulls that can distort pack expectations.

Useful for comparing newer hype-driven pricing against singles plans.
Set strategy
Good for fun openings, but targeted chasing still leans toward singles.
The lower estimated pack price makes casual ripping feel more approachable, but the biggest chase cards still drive expected costs well above the cleanest single-buy path.
Who this set is for
Collectors who want a few lower-cost packs for variety and binder building, especially if they are not treating one big chase as the only acceptable outcome.
