Giratina V Alt Art Card: Every Japanese Giratina Print and Price (2026)

The Giratina V Alt Art: S11 111/100 / Lost Origin 186/196

The card most people mean when they search “Giratina V alt art” is numbered 111/100 in Japan’s 拡張パック「ロストアビス」(Lost Abyss, set code S11), released July 15, 2022. The official card database lists it as SR (Super Rare), illustrated by Shinji Kanda; it’s the special-art version of the card — distinct from the set’s other two Giratina V prints.

In English, that same Kanda illustration was printed as Lost Origin 186/196, an Ultra Rare / special-illustration tier card, in the set released September 9, 2022. The card numbers differ by language, but the artwork and the print are the matching pair — JP 111/100 is EN 186/196.

As a Basic Pokemon V, Giratina V is a Dragon-type with 220 HP and Retreat Cost 2. Its ability, Abyss Seeking, lets you look at the top four cards of your deck, take two into your hand, and send the rest to the Lost Zone. Its attack, Shred, does 160 damage and ignores any effects placed on the opponent’s Active Pokemon — both text and stat line are identical across the three Lost Abyss prints and their English Lost Origin counterparts; only the artwork and rarity change.

Giratina V Alt Art at a Glance

Giratina VSTAR: Standard, High-Rarity & UR

Giratina VSTAR is the VSTAR evolution of Giratina V — same Dragon typing, 280 HP, Retreat Cost 2, with the attack Lost Impact and a once-per-game VSTAR Power called Star Requiem. Like the V card, it was printed multiple times within Lost Abyss (S11) alone:

English Lost Origin numbers for the VSTAR are reported as 131/196 Rare VSTAR, 201/196 Rainbow Rare and 212/196 Secret Rare.

The Giratina LV.X Heritage (Platinum Era)

Before V and VSTAR mechanics existed, Giratina already had a defining chase card: Giratina LV.X, a Psychic-type with 130 HP from the DP era. Its Poke-Body, Invisible Tentacles, and its attack, Darkness Lost (which sends a Knocked Out Pokemon to the Lost Zone instead of the discard pile), made it a build-around card years before the modern Lost Zone archetype existed.

In English, it’s Platinum 124/127, a Rare Holo LV.X illustrated by Shizurow. In Japanese, the same card is ギャラクティックの陰謀 (Galactic’s Conquest) 052/096. It was reprinted with new Shizurow artwork as a DP Black Star Promo, DP38, distributed in the 2009 Spring Collector’s Tins released March 2, 2009.

This LV.X heritage is worth knowing even if you’re only chasing the modern alt art — it’s the card that established Giratina’s Origin Forme (the serpentine, Distortion World form both the LV.X and the modern V/VSTAR cards use) as a recurring TCG chase print more than a decade before Lost Abyss.

Other Platinum-era Giratina base cards exist across EN Platinum and JP sets like Galactic’s Conquest, the Giratina Half Deck, and Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky. Check the exact card number against a card database before buying any Platinum-era Giratina outside the LV.X.
