Jasmine and Ampharos GX are the headline cards of SM8a: Dark Order, a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the Sun & Moon era, released on October 5, 2018. It is a compact release of 65 catalog printings, built around GX Pokémon that appear in several versions: Ampharos GX, Cobalion GX, Hoopa GX and Incineroar GX each turn up three times across the card list, and the Trainer Dangerous Drill appears twice. Its release date places it between two larger Sun & Moon sets from the autumn of 2018.
The pull ladder in SM8a: Dark Order runs from commons and uncommons through Rare and Super Rare up to Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Hyper Rare and Prism Rare, with 19 chase-tier cards in total. Jasmine in Super Rare is the most valuable card, followed by Ampharos GX as a Hyper Rare, then its Super Rare version, Incineroar GX and Nanu. Value is tightly concentrated: the top five cards hold 61 percent of the set's total card value, so a handful of cards, led by a Trainer and an Ampharos GX, define what the set is worth.
As of October 2026, SM8a: Dark Order sits 31st by total card value among the 36 comparable Sun & Moon sets and 180th across the whole game. Its master set value is about half the era median, and its top card ranks 25th among the era's single most valuable cards, while trading activity places it 27th. It followed SM8: Super-Burst Impact, which holds more total value, and came before SM8b: GX Ultra Shiny, which also holds more. Its cards carry over to the English Team Up, released on January 31, 2019, three months after the Japanese release, with 42 shared cards.

Completing SM8a: Dark Order means chasing 65 catalog printings, 60 of them priced. Because the top five cards hold 61 percent of total card value, the cost of a full run sits mostly in a few Super Rare and Hyper Rare pulls, while the commons, uncommons and rares are the easy part. The sealed line is small, made up of a booster box and individual booster packs. Collectors who also want the English versions of these cards will find 42 of them in Team Up.
