When the 2025 owner’s-Pokemon revival paired trainers with their signature partners, no combination hit harder with longtime fans than N and Zoroark. The wandering king of Team Plasma and the illusion fox have been narratively inseparable since Black & White — and the TCG’s “N’s Zoroark ex” turned that bond into one of the most-pulled-for cards of its generation, with SAR and SIR treatments that sell on story as much as artwork.
This guide tracks every print of N’s Zoroark ex across Japanese and English sets — including the high-class reprint most listings still misattribute — and anchors it with the graded copy and sealed product we ship from Tokyo.
We currently hold the PSA10 N’s Zoroark ex SAR (242/193, MEGA Dream ex) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) listed at ¥16,573 — and the set it comes from, the M2A MEGA Dream ex booster box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), listed at ¥12,804. The finished card or the gamble: pick your lane.
Every Print of N’s Zoroark ex
The card debuted in Japan’s Battle Partners (SV9, January 2025) and has since been printed across five products. The full map:
| Set | Number | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Battle Partners (JP, SV9) | 061/100 | RR |
| Battle Partners (JP, SV9) | 117/100 | SR (full art) |
| Battle Partners (JP, SV9) | 127/100 | SAR |
| Battle Partners (JP, SV9) | 131/100 | UR |
| Journey Together (EN) | 098/159 | Double Rare |
| Journey Together (EN) | 175/159 | Ultra Rare (full art) |
| Journey Together (EN) | 185/159 | Special Illustration Rare |
| Journey Together (EN) | 189/159 | Hyper Rare |
| MEGA Dream ex (JP, M2a) | 112/193 | RR |
| MEGA Dream ex (JP, M2a) | 242/193 | SAR |
| Ascended Heroes (EN) | 137/217, 286/217 | DR / SIR |
| Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (JP) | 470/742 | — |
Practical takeaway: “N’s Zoroark ex SAR” describes two different Japanese cards — the Battle Partners original at 127/100 and the MEGA Dream ex reprint at 242/193 — plus the English SIR at 185/159. Listings conflate all three constantly. The denominator settles it every time: /100 is the SV9 original, /193 is the M2a high-class print, /159 is English.
The Print We Hold: the MEGA Dream ex SAR
MEGA Dream ex (M2a) is the high-class pack released November 28, 2025 — a 193-card base checklist with dedicated secret blocks for AR, SR, MA, and SAR treatments, where the SAR block runs 233–249. N’s Zoroark ex landed there twice: a regular RR at 112/193 and the SAR at 242/193 that carried the card into the high-class format. Whether you read it as a victory lap for the Battle Partners original or the cheaper route into an N’s Zoroark SAR, it’s the same result: high-class product, huge print attention, and a card that moves.
Our PSA10 copy (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥16,573. For the full picture of what else M2a’s secret blocks hold — and why this set became the value pack of the MEGA era — see our MEGA Dream ex complete guide.
Why N Cards Carry a Premium
N is arguably the most beloved rival character the games have produced — the Team Plasma king whose arc defined Black & White — and his TCG history has a specific shape: scarce, story-driven prints that fans hold rather than flip. The original “N” Supporter full arts from the BW era are established grails, and the owner’s-Pokemon revival gave that fandom its first chance in a decade to buy N with Zoroark on one card. That’s the demand engine under every print in the table above, and it’s why the SAR treatments — which render the pair as a scene, not a portrait — are the versions that lead the market.
If trainer-driven cards are your collecting lane, the same logic powers our PSA10 trainer cards guide and the Iono cards guide — and for the other side of the 2025 owner’s revival, our Cynthia & Garchomp guide covers the champion pairing printed the same year.
Card or Box: Which Fits Your Collection
- ¥12,804 — the M2A MEGA Dream ex booster box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). The high-class gamble: AR/SR/MA/SAR blocks in every box, with the 242/193 among the possible hits.
- ¥16,573 — the PSA10 N’s Zoroark ex SAR (242/193) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). The finished article, already in top grade — for barely more than the box.
- On request — the Battle Partners 127/100 SAR, the English 185/159 SIR, the UR: quote via Quick Order at your target grade.
That price gap is the honest pitch: a sealed box might contain a SAR-tier pull; the graded card is one, for about ¥3,800 more.

Is 242/193 the same card as the Battle Partners SAR?
They’re separate printings: the Battle Partners SAR is 127/100 (SV9), the MEGA Dream ex SAR is 242/193 (M2a). The denominator tells you which one a listing is selling — /100 is the original, /193 the high-class reprint.
Why are N cards so popular?
N is the fan-favorite Team Plasma king from Black & White, and his cards have a history of scarce, story-driven prints that collectors hold long-term. N’s Zoroark ex is the first card to unite him with his signature partner, which is why the SAR/SIR scene treatments lead the demand.
Should I buy the box or the graded card?
The MEGA Dream ex box (¥12,804) is the gamble; the PSA10 SAR (¥16,573) is the guarantee. If your goal is specifically this card in top grade, the ¥3,800 difference is the cheapest certainty in the modern market.
