Goodra has two very different TCG identities in Japanese sets — the standard Dragon-type from the XY era, and the regional Hisuian form that anchored a five-card run in 2022. If you’re trying to work out which Goodra card you’re looking at, or which printing to chase, the two lines rarely get confused for each other once you know the numbers.
This guide walks through every verified Japanese Goodra printing we could confirm on Limitless TCG’s card database, from the 2014 original through the Hisuian Goodra VSTAR chase tier and its 2022 reprint. We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo, so we’ve paired each section with the booster boxes that actually contain these cards.
Both species show up fairly rarely in Japanese sets compared to higher-profile Pokemon, which makes it easy to lose track of what belongs to which era. Standard Goodra’s TCG footprint is small — a single confirmed printing — while Hisuian Goodra got a concentrated run across one flagship set and one follow-up reprint set, both in 2022. If you’re building a collection around either form, or you picked up a loose card and want to identify it, the number-and-set combination in the table below is the fastest way to confirm exactly what you’re holding.
Seven Goodra printings are verified across three Japanese sets spanning 2014–2022: one standard-form Goodra from XY2 Wild Blaze, five Hisuian Goodra cards from S10a Dark Phantasma (base, V, V SR, VSTAR Triple Rare, VSTAR Hyper Rare), and one Hisuian Goodra AR reprint from S12a VSTAR Universe. Singles aren’t currently in our stock snapshot — both booster boxes that contain these cards are.

Every Goodra Printing at a Glance
Here is every Japanese Goodra and Hisuian Goodra card we could verify, in release order:
| # | Card | Set | Year | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Goodra 060/080 | Wild Blaze (XY2) | 2014 | R |
| 2 | Hisuian Goodra 055/071 | Dark Phantasma (S10a) | 2022 | R |
| 3 | Hisuian Goodra V 056/071 | Dark Phantasma (S10a) | 2022 | RR |
| 4 | Hisuian Goodra V (SA) 082/071 | Dark Phantasma (S10a) | 2022 | SR |
| 5 | Hisuian Goodra VSTAR 057/071 | Dark Phantasma (S10a) | 2022 | RRR (Triple Rare) |
| 6 | Hisuian Goodra VSTAR 091/071 | Dark Phantasma (S10a) | 2022 | HR |
| 7 | Hisuian Goodra 196/172 | VSTAR Universe (S12a) | 2022 | AR |
Two things stand out. First, standard-form Goodra only has one confirmed Japanese printing in this line — everything after 2014 belongs to the Hisuian form. Second, all five of the Hisuian Goodra cards released within the same set, Dark Phantasma, before one of them (the AR) got a same-year reprint in VSTAR Universe. The sections below cover each in order.
The rarity column follows the standard modern Japanese TCG tiering: R (rare) and RR (double rare) are the base holofoil tiers most sets use for evolved Pokemon and V cards; SR (super rare) and HR (hyper rare) are the full-art and gold-bordered secret-rare tiers that sit above the set’s numbered print run; and AR (alternate rare) is the tier VSTAR Universe used across its entire reprint checklist. Where you see “Triple Rare” alongside RRR, that’s Limitless TCG’s own label for a specific alternate-art VSTAR tier that Dark Phantasma used for its highest standard-numbered cards.
The Original: XY2 Wild Blaze (2014)
The standard-form Goodra’s Japanese debut is 060/080 from Wild Blaze (XY2), released March 15, 2014 — an early XY-era print, from a time when the current Hisuian regional forms didn’t exist yet in the games or the card game. It’s a rare (R) holofoil in the standard XY-era frame, and it remains the only confirmed Japanese printing of the standard, non-Hisuian form of Goodra in this line.
If you’re specifically after “regular” Goodra as opposed to the Hisuian version, this is the card to look for. Everything else in this guide is Hisuian Goodra.
Wild Blaze sits in the earlier part of the XY block, well before the Hisuian regional forms existed as a game concept — those were introduced years later through a separate mainline title. That gap is part of why the two Goodra lines look so different in the card game: 060/080 uses the standard XY-era holofoil frame with no alternate-art treatment, while every Hisuian Goodra printing that follows arrives inside a completely different card generation with its own set of rarity tiers.
Hisuian Goodra Arrives: Dark Phantasma (S10a, 2022)
Eight years after the XY2 original, the Hisuian form of Goodra made its full Japanese TCG entrance in Dark Phantasma (S10a), released May 13, 2022. The set opened Hisuian Goodra’s run with a standard rare and a V card:
055/071 is the base Hisuian Goodra, a standard-rarity rare in the regular Sword & Shield-era card frame. 056/071 is the V evolution of that same line, sitting one rarity tier up as a double rare (RR). Together, these two form the “normal” entry point into the Hisuian Goodra lineup before the set moves into its alternate-art tiers, covered next.
V cards were the standard “big Pokemon” mechanic running through the Sword & Shield card generation, giving evolved or powerful Pokemon a boosted stat line in exchange for handing the opponent two prize cards when knocked out. Hisuian Goodra V follows that same format, and its regular RR printing is the version most collectors will encounter first when opening Dark Phantasma packs, well ahead of the rarer alternate-art versions covered in the next section.
The Chase Tier: V SR, VSTAR Triple Rare & Hyper Rare
Dark Phantasma gave Hisuian Goodra V and VSTAR three additional alternate-art printings, each at a higher rarity tier than the last:
082/071 is a special-art (SA) version of the same Hisuian Goodra V, printed as a super rare (SR) — the same card as 056/071, but in an alternate full-art illustration. 057/071 is the VSTAR evolution, catalogued by Limitless TCG as a Triple Rare (RRR), one of the set’s higher standard-frame rarity slots. Topping the line is 091/071, the Hisuian Goodra VSTAR Hyper Rare (HR) — as of August 2026, this is the highest-rarity Goodra printing catalogued by Limitless TCG in this set.
All five Dark Phantasma Hisuian Goodra cards — 055, 056, 057, 082, and 091 — come from the same booster box, so if you want to try to build the full set from a single product, this is the one.
The jump from 056/071 to 082/071 illustrates a pattern that shows up across most modern Japanese sets: the same Pokemon and the same card mechanics get reprinted in an alternate illustration at a higher rarity slot, rather than gaining a new attack or ability. Visually, that means 082/071 is worth checking closely against 056/071 — the card text matches, but the artwork and card number don’t, and neither does the rarity tier.
The Reprint: VSTAR Universe (S12a, 2022)
Seven months after Dark Phantasma, Hisuian Goodra got a reprint in VSTAR Universe (S12a), released December 2, 2022. Card 196/172 brings the base Hisuian Goodra back as an alternate-rarity (AR) card in a new illustration, distinct from the Dark Phantasma originals.
VSTAR Universe was a large, mixed-set release that reprinted alternate-art cards from across several earlier sets in one box, which is why this Goodra reprint sits alongside cards that originally debuted elsewhere. If you’re assembling every Hisuian Goodra printing rather than just the Dark Phantasma run, this card is the one additional piece.
Because 196/172 is a reprint rather than a new illustration tied to one of the Dark Phantasma alternate-art cards, it functions as a separate entry point on its own — you don’t need any of the five Dark Phantasma printings to complete it, and it doesn’t complete a set that requires them either. Collectors who want “one of each Hisuian Goodra set” rather than “every printing” sometimes treat 196/172 as optional for that reason, though it’s still part of the verified sequence above.
Which Tier Should You Chase?
If your goal is simply to own a Goodra or Hisuian Goodra card, the base-rarity printings are the easiest target — Goodra 060/080, Hisuian Goodra 055/071, and Hisuian Goodra V 056/071 are all standard R/RR holofoils without the full-art treatment, sitting below the SR, RRR, and HR tiers covered next.
If you’re after the alternate-art versions specifically, the two to compare are Hisuian Goodra V 082/071 (SR) and Hisuian Goodra VSTAR 091/071 (HR). Both use full-bleed illustrations rather than the standard card frame, but they sit at different rarity tiers within Dark Phantasma, with 091/071 catalogued at the higher of the two. And if completism across every confirmed printing is the goal, the VSTAR Universe reprint (196/172) is the one extra card you’ll need beyond Dark Phantasma’s five and the 2014 XY2 original.
None of this is a claim about resale value — we don’t have verified market pricing for any of these seven cards as individual singles, only for the two booster boxes below. Treat rarity tier as a guide to how a card looks and how it was inserted into packs, not as a promise about what it’s worth.
How to Collect Goodra Cards
None of the seven printings above are showing as in-stock single cards in our current inventory snapshot. The most direct route to pulling one yourself is sealed product from the two sets that contain them:
- The S10A Dark Phantasma Booster Box, currently listed at ¥28,000 (~$176) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), contains all five Hisuian Goodra printings — the base R, the V RR, the V SR, the VSTAR RRR, and the VSTAR HR.
- The S12A VSTAR Universe Booster Box, currently listed at ¥32,028 (~$201) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), is where the Hisuian Goodra AR reprint (196/172) can be pulled.
- For the original 2014 XY2 Goodra (060/080), or for any of these seven cards as a single, you can request a quote via our Quick Order page and we’ll check current availability.
Each sealed booster box contains multiple packs, so a single box gives you several chances at pulling the lower-rarity R and RR Hisuian Goodra cards, even though the SR, RRR, and HR tiers aren’t guaranteed in any individual box. That’s a structural point about how Japanese booster boxes are built, not a claim about how often any specific card appears — we don’t have verified insertion data for these particular cards.
If you’re specifically after a PSA-graded copy of any Hisuian Goodra card, the same Quick Order route applies — request a quote via our Quick Order page. PSA independently determines authenticity and grade; we don’t make grading claims on ungraded stock.
For a wider view of what other Dragon-type Japanese cards look like across sets, our Dragonite cards guide and Garchomp cards guide cover similarly structured printing histories, including their own base-to-alternate-art rarity progressions.
