Seismitoad Black Bolt: Complete Guide to the 109/086 AR

Seismitoad Black Bolt is the search name for Seismitoad No. 109/086, an AR card in the Japanese Expansion Pack “Black Bolt” (SV11B), which went on sale in Japan on June 6, 2025. This guide covers the card number, the AR rarity, the set around it, the Japanese and English releases, and the PSA 10 pages we list for it.

Updated November 12, 2026

What is the Seismitoad Black Bolt card?

The Seismitoad Black Bolt card is Seismitoad No. 109/086, an AR (the Japanese rarity code) from the Japanese Expansion Pack “Black Bolt”, set code SV11B. Our product pages name it exactly that way: “Seismitoad No. 109/086 | Set: Expansion Pack Black Bolt | Rarity: AR”.

Seismitoad is the English name for the Pokémon whose Japanese name is ガマゲロゲ, according to the name table on pokemon.com used for this guide. We use the English name every time and quote the Japanese edition numbering, because that is the numbering our listings use.

Three identifiers pin down the card, and you should check all three when you compare listings:

• Name: Seismitoad.
• Set code: SV11B, the code of the Japanese “Black Bolt” pack.
• Number and rarity: 109/086, AR.

This guide does not quote Seismitoad’s HP, attacks or illustrator. Read those from the card itself or from the official card search; everything below is a fact sheet about the card’s identity, its set and where it has appeared.

The product description on both of our PSA 10 pages also carries the same wording about the grade: the card has been graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint), and the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface. That wording is about the graded copy, not about the print, which is why the rest of this guide separates the two.

Which set is Seismitoad Black Bolt 109/086 from, and when was it released?

Seismitoad 109/086 is from the Scarlet & Violet expansion pack “Black Bolt” (SV11B), released in Japan on June 6, 2025 (a Friday). It came out on the same day as its paired pack, White Flare, according to the official Japanese product page.

The two packs are a split expansion. The official page describes the set contents as 156 Pokémon from the Unova region, drawn from the Black/White and Black 2/White 2 games. The Japanese lineup has three main products, and the table shows each one with its official price.

The official reveal article posted on May 3, 2025 confirms the pack and Deluxe pack prices and states that cards are randomly inserted.

The Card File Set combines a promo Victini in kira finish, a 3-pocket card file sized for 156 cards, and three packs each from the two halves of the split release. The 156 in the card file matches the 156 Pokémon the official page gives for the Unova lineup.

The same page also describes a Deck Build format, “Black Bolt / White Flare”, which uses cards from both packs plus some other cards including basic Energy. If you came to Seismitoad as a player rather than a collector, that is the Deck Build format the official page describes for this set.

For a card from the Black Bolt side, the code to remember is SV11B. White Flare was released the same day, so the set code and the card number together are the safest way to name a card. Our Black Bolt card list for SV11B lays out the set card by card, so you can see where 109 sits among its neighbours.

What does the AR rarity tell you about this Seismitoad?

AR is the rarity code listed for Seismitoad on our Japanese Black Bolt product pages, and AR is one of the two rarities the official page names for the set, AR and SAR. The same page says Zekrom ex and Reshiram ex appear in the BWR tier and that some cards have a Monster Ball mirror finish.

Three practical points follow from the sources:

• AR is a named tier in this set. The official reveal article names Snivy, Servine, Serperior ex and Victini as AR and SAR examples in Black Bolt. Seismitoad is not among the names that article gives; our product pages list it as an AR in the set.
• The Deluxe pack guarantees one AR card. The official page states that each 35-card Deluxe pack contains one AR. It does not say which AR, so the page gives no basis to expect Seismitoad in a given Deluxe pack.
• Rarity is not the same as grade. AR describes the print. PSA 10 describes one physical copy. Our product description says PSA 10 (Gem Mint) is the highest grade PSA certifies, awarded to cards in flawless condition.

If you want to see how the set’s rarity tiers fit together, our SV11B secret rare guide covers SAR, SR, AR and BWR cards, and the SV11B chase cards guide covers the rarity tiers and PSA 10 pages.

What numbers does the Black Bolt set use, and where does 109/086 fit?

Black Bolt cards carry numbers on both sides of 086: Zekrom ex is 037/086 as an RR and 161/086 as an SR, while Seismitoad is 109/086 as an AR. The English Zekrom ex special illustration rare is numbered 166/86.

That tells you how to compare prints. One Pokémon can have several numbers across the set, as Zekrom ex does, and the number plus the set code is what separates one print from another. Seismitoad No. 109/086 is the print our listings name, and SV11B is its code.

The totals differ between sources, and each is stated for its own page. The official English page says “over 170 cards” for the English set, while our Black Bolt card list is titled as a 174-card list for the Japanese edition. Use the list page for the Japanese numbering and the official card search for card text.

How does the Japanese Black Bolt release differ from the English one?

The Japanese Expansion Pack “Black Bolt” came out on June 6, 2025, and the English Scarlet & Violet-Black Bolt came out on July 18, 2025, so the English set arrived six weeks later. The two are different products with different numbering, which matters when you search for a card.

The English official page lists rarities as more than 65 illustration rare, more than 5 special illustration rare and more than 5 Pokémon ex, plus parallel cards with Poké Ball patterns. It describes the English set as standard legal. The Japanese page uses the rarity wording AR, SAR and BWR.

If you only know a Seismitoad card by an English listing, do not assume 109 carries over. The card in this guide is the Japanese edition 109/086, and that is the number on our PSA 10 pages.

English-language related products named on the official page include the Elite Trainer Box, Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box, Binder Collection, Unova Mini Tin and Unova Poster Collection (all July 18, 2025), the Unova Victini Illustration Collection (August 1, 2025), and Booster Bundles for Black Bolt and White Flare (August 22, 2025). Our comparison of the English booster bundles against Japanese SV11 boxes explains how those English products relate to the Japanese boxes.

Which other Black Bolt cards are in the same set as Seismitoad?

The cards the official sources name in Black Bolt are Zekrom ex, Kyurem ex, Serperior ex, Servine, Snivy and Victini, plus Meloetta ex on the English page. Seismitoad shares the set with them, and the full list of 174 cards is on our SV11B card list page.

Zekrom ex shows how one Pokémon can fill several slots in this set, with an RR, an SR and an English special illustration rare. Its Voltage Burst does 130 damage plus 50 for each Prize card the opponent has taken, and it costs Zekrom ex 30 damage to itself, according to the English card page. The Japanese card page also prints the Pokémon ex rule: when a Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards. We keep dedicated guides for it: Zekrom ex in Black Bolt: SV11B numbers, versions, buying, the Zekrom ex PSA 10 guide and the Zekrom ex 166 fact sheet.

Our product pages list Seismitoad as an AR in the set, and it does not appear among the official reveal article’s featured names. If you collect a Black Bolt master set, the card list page is the right tool; if you collect Seismitoad across products, the next section lists where else it shows up.

Has Seismitoad appeared in other Pokémon TCG products?

Yes: Seismitoad appears on the official page for the MEGA expansion pack “30th CELEBRATION” (M6a), which released on September 16, 2026. The page lists Seismitoad in its “Pokémon’s day” feature section, which shows cards depicting Pokémon at different times of day.

The same page gives the product facts you need to place it next to Black Bolt:

The 30th CELEBRATION page names Seismitoad in the feature section without a card number or rarity in the text this guide uses. So the Black Bolt 109/086 AR is the print our listings and this guide cover, and the 30th CELEBRATION appearance is a separate product you should read from its official page. A PSA 10 label ties to one specific print, so do not merge the two.

The difference in pack design is also visible in the table: a Black Bolt standard pack holds 7 cards at 290 yen, while a 30th CELEBRATION pack holds 6 kira cards at 360 yen. Those are the official figures for each product, and neither page ties them to Seismitoad specifically.

How should you search for this Seismitoad without mixing up prints?

Search with the card number and the set code together: “SV11B 109/086” identifies the Japanese Black Bolt Seismitoad AR, while the name alone matches every Seismitoad print. The table shows what each search term identifies.

Two habits keep the search clean. First, copy the number exactly as written, including the 086 after the slash, because the English edition writes its totals differently (166/86 for the Zekrom ex special illustration rare, for example). Second, check the set code, because Black Bolt and White Flare were released together on the same day.

Collectors who want the whole set rather than one card can start from the SV11B card list, and collectors who want sealed product can read our Black Bolt Japanese booster box guide.

Where can you buy a PSA 10 Seismitoad from Black Bolt?

A PSA 10 Seismitoad AR [SV11B 109/086] is offered on the product pages below. The PSA 10 back order page is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥18,443, sourced to order, and the standard PSA 10 page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥18,443.

Before you order, check these points on the page:
