Chansey has been in the game since the very first English set, and the design brief has barely changed in three decades: high HP, low offense, built to sit on the board and absorb damage rather than deal it. Its evolution Blissey inherited the same job description and has spent the last two decades as one of the format’s steadiest bulk-up walls, and the Chansey full art cards in Japanese sets carry that brief into AR artwork, with Blissey V’s CSR and SR beside them. Neither Pokemon has ever needed a flashy gimmick to stay in rotation — and the Japanese card database keeps proving that, printing them across Sword & Shield-era V cards, Character Super Rares, and the newest Scarlet & Violet sets.
What makes the Chansey and Blissey line worth tracking together is how consistently their card text mirrors their in-game reputation. Chansey’s Pokemon 151 print rewards you for taking a Prize card. Blissey V heals itself and reloads its own Energy. Blissey ex swaps Energy around the board instead of racing for damage. These are support-and-sustain designs across every era, which is unusual consistency for a family that has been reprinted this many times.
We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo every week.
Chansey’s headline modern print sits in Pokemon 151. Blissey’s biggest chase card is the Character Super Rare Blissey V from VMAX Climax, and the family’s most recent modern print is Blissey ex from Mask of Change.

Chansey & Blissey Full Art Cards: Every Japanese AR / CSR / SR Print
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings.
| Card | Set mark · number | Rarity | Illustrator | Our listing |

| Chansey (Art Rare) | SV6 113/101 | AR | Toshinao Aoki | Mask of Change booster box: ¥14,040 (~$91) |
| Blissey ex | SV6 121/101 | SR | — | Mask of Change booster box (same as above) |
| Blissey V (Character Super Rare) | S8b 254/184 | CSR | You Iribi | VMAX Climax booster box: ¥31,567 (~$205) |
| Blissey V | S6K 078/070 | SR | — | Jet-Black Spirit booster box: ¥20,250 (~$131) |

Every Chansey & Blissey Print Worth Knowing
Here’s the full lineup traced for this guide, newest to oldest:
| Card | Set / Number | Rarity | Year | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chansey (Art Rare) | SV6 113/101 | AR | 2024 | Toshinao Aoki |
| Blissey ex | SV6 085/101 | RR | 2024 | Iwamoto05 |
| Chansey | SV2a 113/165 | Rare | 2023 | Taiga Kayama |
| Chansey | S10b #51 | Uncommon | 2022 | — |
| Blissey V (Character Super Rare) | S8b 254/184 | CSR | 2021 | You Iribi |
| Blissey V | S6K 052/070 | RR | 2021 | Saki Hayashiro |
| Chansey | Base Set #3 (EN) | Holo | 1999 | Ken Sugimori |
The pattern across the family: Chansey gets a steady stream of Common-to-Rare prints across whatever era it shows up in, while Blissey’s biggest moments come at the V and ex level — a Character Super Rare in 2021 and a dedicated ex in 2024, both leaning into the same sustain-and-support identity the line has carried since 1999.
Where It Started: Chansey in the 1999 Base Set
Chansey’s first print sits at #3 in the English 1999 Base Set, a Holo card illustrated by Ken Sugimori. At 120 HP, it was among the highest-HP cards printed at that point in the game’s history — a number that stood out against a field of mostly 30–80 HP Basics in the original set.
What the Base Set Chansey established has stuck for every printing since: a Normal-type Basic Pokemon built around surviving hits rather than trading them. That identity carries straight through to the modern cards below.
The Coin-Flip Support Card: Chansey in Pokemon 151
Pokemon 151 (SV2a), released June 16, 2023 — our Pokemon 151 best cards guide covers the set’s chase cards in full. Chansey sits at 113/165 in Rare rarity, illustrated by Taiga Kayama, filling the No. 113 slot in the set’s original Kanto Pokedex checklist.
The card’s Ability, Lucky Bonus, is one of the odder designs in the family: on your turn, when you take this card from your own face-down Prize cards (after you take a Prize from a knockout) and you have room on your Bench, you may put it onto your Bench instead of your hand. Then flip a coin — heads, and you take one more Prize card. It’s a bonus for taking prizes, not a consolation for losing them — a small mechanical wink at the Pokemon’s real-world reputation for luck, built directly into the card text rather than the attack line.
The Sealed option of Pokemon 151 is currently listed at ¥54,998 (~$357), and it’s the box that carries this print.
The Durable Wall: Blissey V (Jet-Black Spirit)
Jet-Black Spirit (S6K), released April 23, 2021, carries the family’s first V-level card: Blissey V at 052/070, RR rarity, illustrated by Saki Hayashiro, with an SR reprint of the same card at 078/070. The card’s Ability, Natural Cure, removes all Special Conditions from this Pokemon whenever you attach an Energy from your hand to it — a passive that leans directly into Blissey’s real-game reputation as a status-condition tank.
Its attack, Happy Bomber, deals 10 damage plus 30 more for every Energy attached to this Pokemon, and afterward lets you attach up to three Energy from your discard pile back onto itself — an attack that reloads its own Energy instead of only pushing damage, which is consistent with the support-first design running through the whole line.
Sealed Jet-Black Spirit is currently listed at ¥20,250 (~$131). For the set’s full chase-card breakdown, see our Jet-Black Spirit best cards guide.
The Character Super Rare: Blissey V (VMAX Climax)
VMAX Climax (S8b), released December 3, 2021, is where Blissey got its most collector-facing print: a Character Super Rare version of Blissey V at 254/184, illustrated by You Iribi. VMAX Climax built its entire release around this rarity tier — large-format character art cards pulled from a set that otherwise reprints earlier-era Pokemon in a new full-illustration style, and Blissey V earned a slot in that lineup alongside the set’s other CSR cards.
Sealed VMAX Climax is currently listed at ¥31,567 (~$205). For the full set breakdown, see our VMAX Climax best cards guide and our VMAX Climax card list.
The Modern Support ex: Blissey ex & Chansey AR (Mask of Change)
Mask of Change (SV6), released April 26, 2024, is where the family got its most recent and most mechanically involved print: Blissey ex at 085/101, RR rarity, illustrated by Iwamoto05, with an SR reprint at 121/101. Its Ability, Happy Switch, lets you move an Energy card attached to one of your Pokemon onto a different one of your Pokemon — turning Blissey into a board-wide Energy router rather than an attacker in its own right. Its attack, Ongaeshi, deals 180 damage and lets you draw until you have six cards in hand, giving the deck a resource-refill option once Blissey is set up to swing.
The same set carries an Art Rare Chansey at 113/101, illustrated by Toshinao Aoki. Its attack, Lucky Attach, lets you attach a basic Energy card from your hand to one of your Pokemon — a straightforward acceleration tool that pairs naturally with Blissey ex’s Energy-shuffling Ability in the same set.
Sealed Mask of Change is currently listed at ¥14,040 (~$91), with a No Shrink variant currently listed at ¥10,556 (~$69). For the full set breakdown, see our Mask of Change best cards guide.
Blissey ex and Chansey AR share a set, an era, and a mechanical theme — but they aren’t the same card at different rarities. Blissey ex is the evolved Stage 1 with the Energy-swap Ability; Chansey AR is the unevolved Basic with the Energy-attach attack. Both come from the same Mask of Change box.
The Crossover Print: Chansey in Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO (S10b), released June 17, 2022, is the crossover set built around the mobile game’s collaboration content, and it carries an Uncommon-rarity Chansey at card 51. It’s a straightforward reprint slot rather than a chase card, but it rounds out the family’s presence across eras — Base Set in 1999, Sword & Shield-era V and CSR prints in 2021, Pokemon 151 in 2023, the mobile-game crossover in 2022, and the modern ex era in 2024.
Sealed Pokemon GO is currently listed at ¥21,955 (~$143). For the set’s full chase-card breakdown, see our Pokemon GO best cards guide.
If you’re weighing raw versus graded versions of any of the higher-rarity prints above — the VMAX Climax CSR in particular — our PSA10 vs raw Japanese Pokemon cards guide breaks down how condition affects value at this rarity tier. And for the vintage side of the market beyond the 1999 Base Set original referenced above, our Japanese old-back Pokemon cards guide covers earlier print eras in detail.
