A Lost Abyss box has a Japan MSRP of ¥4,950. Right now, sealed boxes are listed at nine to eleven times that number.
Lost Abyss (拡張パック ロストアビス, set code S11) is a 2022 standalone Japanese Pokemon TCG expansion that would otherwise be a fairly ordinary mid-generation release — 127 cards, a duplicated-pair secret mechanic that shows up across several sets from this era, nothing especially unusual on paper. What isn’t ordinary is card 111/100: a special-art (SA) parallel of Giratina V, confirmed as the standout secret in the set, and the reason this particular box still lists well above MSRP years after release.
The set itself came out three years before the MEGA-era boxes now on shelves, so this is a good example of how a mid-generation Japanese set can keep an active secondary market long after release — not because the whole product held its value, but because one specific secret did.
This guide covers exactly what’s inside a Lost Abyss box, walks through Giratina V SA and the set’s other duplicated-pair secrets, prices out our current sealed box and graded singles, and tells you where this box makes sense against the alternatives.
Lost Abyss packs 127 cards (100 base + 27 secrets: SR16/HR8/UR3) into a 30-pack, ¥4,950-MSRP box. The chase is Giratina V SA 111/100 — a special-art parallel confirmed distinct from the regular full-art SR at 110/100 — and it’s the reason our sealed box is currently listed at ¥45,100–¥55,640 (~$307–$379), well above MSRP. Graded singles from the set’s other secrets are also available: a PSA 10 Lady SR 114/100 recently listed at ¥15,100 (~$103) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) and a PSA 10 Aerodactyl V SR 106/100 recently listed at ¥41,670 (~$283).
Prices below are current or recent listed prices at ¥147/USD. Card numbers and set configuration are transcribed from Limitless TCG’s Lost Abyss set list as of August 2026.
What’s Inside a Lost Abyss Booster Box
Lost Abyss (拡張パック「ロストアビス」) released in Japan on July 15, 2022. Each pack costs ¥165 (tax included) and holds 5 cards; a sealed box contains 30 packs, for 150 cards total and a Japan domestic MSRP of ¥4,950 (~$34).
The set runs to 127 total cards: a 100-card base set (001–100), followed by a 27-card secret-rarity run (101–127). There’s no かがやく (Radiant) Pokemon anywhere in this set — that mechanic sits it out here.
| Tier | Card range | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Common (C) | — | 44 |
| Uncommon (U) | — | 34 |
| Rare (R) | — | 10 |
| Double Rare (RR) | — | 8 |
| Triple Rare (RRR) | — | 4 |
| Secret Rare (SR) | 101–116/100 | 16 |
| Hyper Rare (HR) | 117–124/100 | 8 |
| Ultra Rare (UR) | 125–127/100 | 3 |
| Total | — | 127 |
The opening run of the base set — Venonat, Venomoth, Sunkern, Sunflora, Seedot, pictured above — gives a sense of what fills most of a Lost Abyss pack: standard-issue Grass- and Bug-type support before the set gets into its V-line and secret-rarity cards. For the complete base-to-secret checklist with every card name and number, see the S11 card list page, and for community-reported pull-rate estimates per tier, our separate Lost Abyss pull rates & best cards article covers that in depth.
The Chase: Giratina V SA, the Card That Drives This Box
Lost Abyss’s SR tier (101–116/100) prints several Pokemon V cards twice — once as a regular full-art SR, once as a special-art (SA) parallel of the same card number range. Giratina V is one of those duplicated pairs, at 110/100 and 111/100, and it’s the one pair in this set where the SA identification is confirmed: 111/100 is the special-art printing; 110/100 is the regular full-art SR.
That distinction matters because Giratina V SA is the card collectors are actually chasing out of this box. It’s the headline secret in a set that otherwise has a fairly ordinary card pool, and it’s the reason Lost Abyss boxes still list well above the set’s ¥4,950 Japan MSRP years after release.
A graded Giratina V SA single is currently out of stock; restock requests go through our Quick Order page for this specific printing.
Giratina’s presence in Lost Abyss doesn’t stop at the V stage, either — the evolved VSTAR form runs through the set’s two higher secret tiers as well:
| Card | Number | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Giratina V | 110/100 | SR (regular full-art) |
| Giratina V | 111/100 | SR (special-art / SA) |
| Giratina VSTAR | 120/100 | HR |
| Giratina VSTAR | 125/100 | UR |
That’s four Giratina secrets across three tiers from a single box. The 125/100 UR closes out the set’s three-card Ultra Rare tier alongside a Trainer card and a Stadium card, and it’s a chase in its own right — just not the one driving this box’s price.
110/100 and 111/100 are both full-art Giratina V cards from the same SR tier, so check the card number in the bottom corner first. Only 111/100 is the special-art (SA) printing.
Other Secrets Worth Knowing: Aerodactyl V, Lady & the Duplicated Pairs
Giratina V isn’t the only Pokemon V printed twice in the SR tier. Lost Abyss repeats the same duplicated-pair pattern for Rotom V (103/104/100), Aerodactyl V (105/106/100), and Galarian Perrserker V (108/109/100) — four pairs in total, only one of which (Giratina V, covered above) has a confirmed SA identification, per Japanese singles listings (Cardrush, SNKRDUNK); Limitless TCG’s set list supplies the card numbering but doesn’t itself distinguish the SA half. For the other three pairs, which half of each duplicate carries the SA treatment isn’t distinguished by the set list or by a confirmed singles source here.
We carry a PSA 10 graded copy of Aerodactyl V, 106/100 — our own listing identifies this as the SA printing of the pair, though note that’s the seller’s own identification rather than something confirmed on Limitless TCG’s own set list, which doesn’t itself distinguish which of 105/100 or 106/100 carries the special-art treatment. It’s recently listed at ¥41,670 (~$283); restock requests go through Quick Order.
Beyond the V-line duplicates, the SR tier also carries four Trainer secrets that don’t have this duplication problem — each is a single, distinct printing at 113–116/100, and each gets its own HR reprint one tier up at 121–124/100. One of them is Lady (SR, 114/100), and we have a PSA 10 graded copy recently listed at ¥15,100 (~$103) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order); restock requests also go through Quick Order. The remaining three Trainer secrets round out the SR/HR run: アクロマの実験 (113/100 SR, 121/100 HR), ネジキ (115/100 SR, 123/100 HR), and メリッサ (116/100 SR, 124/100 HR) — official English names for these three are unconfirmed here, so they’re listed by their Japanese names.
Current Box Pricing
The Japan domestic MSRP for a Lost Abyss box is ¥4,950 (~$34) — but that’s a 2022 launch-day retail price, not an imported, tracked-shipping price landed internationally four years into the box’s secondary-market life. Our sealed Lost Abyss box is currently listed at ¥45,100–¥55,640 (~$307–$379), shipped from Tokyo with tracked delivery.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Official pack MSRP | ¥165 (~$1) |
| Official box MSRP (30 packs) | ¥4,950 (~$34) |
| SST current listed price, sealed box | ¥45,100–¥55,640 (~$307–$379) |
| PSA 10 Lady SR 114/100 | ¥15,100 (~$103) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) |
| PSA 10 Aerodactyl V SR 106/100 | ¥41,670 (~$283) |
That’s a sealed box priced roughly nine to eleven times the official pack-and-box math, and a single graded Aerodactyl V costing nearly as much as the box itself. Giratina V SA 111/100 is a possible secret pull from Lost Abyss, and it’s the card most associated with this box’s sealed pricing.
Who Should Buy This Box vs. the Alternatives
Lost Abyss makes sense for a specific kind of buyer, and less sense for others:
- Giratina V collectors. If Giratina V SA 111/100 is specifically the card you want, opening Lost Abyss boxes is the only way to pull it — there’s no other set that carries this printing.
- Buyers comfortable with a box price well above MSRP. At ¥45,100–¥55,640 versus a ¥4,950 MSRP, this is the listed price for sealed product from a set whose only confirmed SA chase is Giratina V 111/100. If that price doesn’t work for your budget, a graded single of one of the set’s other secrets — Lady SR or Aerodactyl V SR above — is a cheaper, more direct way to own a piece of this set.
- Buyers who’d rather target the chase card directly. Since Lost Abyss box pricing is driven almost entirely by one card, opening singles by number through Quick Order can be the more cost-controlled route if you’re after a specific printing rather than the full box experience.
- Buyers weighing this set against the same-generation range. Lost Abyss sits within the same 拡張パック product line as sets like S12 Paradigm Trigger, which followed it three months later. If you’re building out this broader era rather than chasing Giratina specifically, that’s the closest comparable product to weigh against this box. Our Incandescent Arcana (S11a) pull rates & best cards article covers a separate set worth checking if you’re exploring beyond Lost Abyss itself.
| Set | Release | Pack/box | Total cards | Confirmed SA chase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lost Abyss (S11) | 2022-07-15 | ¥165 / ¥4,950 | 127 | Giratina V 111/100 |
| Paradigm Trigger (S12) | 2022-10-21 | ¥165 / ¥4,950 | 125 | Lugia V 110/098 |
Both sets share the same pack price, the same 30-pack box structure, and the same underlying mechanic — a duplicated Pokemon V pair in the SR tier with one confirmed special-art half. Paradigm Trigger’s base numbering runs to 098 rather than 100 (so its secret-tier numbers read as e.g. 110/098, not 110/100), and it’s a 2-card-smaller set overall. Functionally, the two are close enough that the deciding factor for most buyers is simply which Pokemon — Giratina or Lugia — you’re actually after.
PSA independently determines authenticity and grade; we list graded singles as they come in, and stock on any individual PSA 10 can be limited to one copy.

Why is Lost Abyss priced so far above its official MSRP?
Giratina V SA 111/100 is a possible secret pull from Lost Abyss, and it’s the chase most associated with this set’s sealed pricing.

Yes — Rotom V (103/104), Aerodactyl V (105/106), and Galarian Perrserker V (108/109) are all printed twice in the SR tier. Giratina V is the only one of the four pairs where Japanese singles listings confirm which half carries the special-art (SA) treatment; Limitless TCG’s set list supplies the numbering but doesn’t distinguish it.
