The official description also notes that the set will include a handful of full-art Supporter cards and 6 Hyper Rare cards. 

As the card set is a "special" Pokemon TCG set, individual booster packs will not be sold. Instead, fans will need to purchase boxed products such the booster bundle, which is currently available here at Walmart and is expected to be available here on Amazon soon. Similar release patterns were also followed for the Hidden Fates and Shining Fates sets, which also featured Shiny Pokemon cards. Special sets, such as this year's Scarlet & Violet -151 set, tend to be more expensive to collect due to the higher cost of obtaining booster packs.
