A small white fox from the frozen Hisui region carries the number 122/103 in Pokémon’s 30th anniversary set — and as of the official card list published September 9, 2026, it is no longer the highest-numbered Art Rare in the block. That spot now belongs to Maushold at 123/103.
Hisuian Zorua AR sits near the top of the Art Rare block in M6a 30th CELEBRATION, the Japanese anniversary expansion that released worldwide on September 16, 2026. The card has been shown in official promotional images and compiled by multiple independent set lists, and it belongs to the set’s signature theme: illustrations of Pokémon living through different moments of a single day.
This guide collects everything actually known about the card as of September 16, 2026 — release day: its number, its printed text, where it sits in the secret-rare structure, what Japanese aggregators predict it might trade for, and how the anniversary product line around it looks for buyers outside Japan. Currency conversions for our own store prices use ¥154/USD; other figures use their original source’s rate.
Hisuian Zorua is Art Rare number 122/103 in 30th Celebration, one of 20 cards in the compiled AR block (104–123). It is no longer the highest AR — Maushold at 123/103 is — and AR/SAR/FUR cards are still not in the official card database, even now that the set has released. No release-day marketplace figure specific to this card exists in this update; the only published figure remains a pre-release snkrdunk prediction (¥1,500~, August 29). The M6a 30th Celebration booster box is currently listed with us as a pre-order at ¥25,000 (sealed); the no-shrink option is sold out, and restock requests for it go through Quick Order. Comparable anniversary sealed product is currently listed, such as the S8a 25th Anniversary Collection box (now ¥67,200).
30th CELEBRATION released worldwide on September 16, 2026. All 20 AR slots (104–123) have now been seen — Kommo-o (119) and Ditto (121), the two still pending on September 10, surfaced with release-day marketplace listings. The AR/SAR/FUR block is still not a card-database entry. Store: our M6a box is listed as a pre-order at ¥25,000 sealed (no-shrink sold out); the S8a box is now ¥67,200; the 25th Anniversary Golden Box is currently listed at ¥257,500.

Hisuian Zorua AR 122/103: What Is Confirmed
The card’s identity rests on solid ground. The official 30th anniversary site pictures it on the M6a product page with the caption 「ヒスイ ゾロア」 (Hisui Zorua), and multiple independent set lists agree on Art Rare, number 122/103. As with the rest of the AR/SAR/FUR block (104–135), it is compiled from official images rather than a card-database entry — the official database still covers only the main set (001–103), the Classic Collection (136–165) and Basic Energy as of release day.
One correction worth making explicit: this is Zorua, the unevolved form, not Hisuian Zoroark. Some early coverage mislabelled slot 122 as the evolution, and the official image settles it. Both Pokémon also have regular-art printings in the main set, which are in the official database: Hisuian Zorua at 098/103 (illustrator Megumi Mizutani) and Hisuian Zoroark at 099/103 (illustrator Kamome Shirahama).
The printed game text is minimal. Per the Japanese card list, Hisuian Zorua has a single attack: ひっかく (Scratch) for 20 damage — the card text matches the regular 098/103 print. Its illustrator is not published; AR-block illustrators are not known and should not be assumed to match the main-set artist. Nobody is buying this card for the attack; it is an art piece in the same way most modern Art Rares are.
If you collect the character more broadly, our Zorua cards guide covers the earlier Japanese printings that this AR has now joined.
The “Pokémon’s Day” Theme It Belongs To
30th Celebration’s flagship illustration concept is a day in the life of Pokémon. The official page headlines the block 「ポケモンたちの一日を描いたカード」 (“cards depicting the Pokémon’s day”) and describes illustrations of Pokémon spending various times of a single day.
Hisuian Zorua is one of the cards officially pictured in that section, alongside two Pikachu ex, Lycanroc, Umbreon and Scraggy, with Lapras and Lycanroc on the feature tile. The only pairing that has been assigned to specific times of day by Japanese coverage is the Pikachu ex SAR pair (day and night versions); for the rest, including Zorua, no source states which moment of the day the artwork depicts, so we won’t guess.
The theme matters for collectors because it binds the Art Rares together as a visual set rather than a scattering of unrelated illustrations. We have published separate guides to the other two confirmed headline ARs: the Lapras AR 106/103 guide and the Lycanroc AR 113/103 guide.
Where 122/103 Sits in the AR Block
The base set is 103 cards; the compiled secret-rare run (AR/SAR/FUR) is 104–135, with the Classic Collection reprints continuing on to 165. The AR block itself is now understood to run 104–123, 20 cards total, all 20 of which have now been shown:
| No. | Card | Rarity | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 104/103 | Alolan Exeggutor | AR | Shown |
| 105/103 | Moltres | AR | Shown |
| 106/103 | Lapras | AR | Shown |
| 107/103 | Articuno | AR | Shown |
| 108/103 | Zapdos | AR | Shown |
| 109/103 | Toxtricity | AR | Shown |
| 110/103 | Morpeko | AR | Shown |
| 111/103 | Drifloon | AR | Shown |
| 112/103 | Chandelure | AR | Shown |
| 113/103 | Lycanroc | AR | Shown |
| 114/103 | Nidorina | AR | Shown |
| 115/103 | Alolan Meowth | AR | Shown |
| 116/103 | Scraggy | AR | Shown |
| 117/103 | Galarian Meowth | AR | Shown |
| 118/103 | Gholdengo | AR | Shown |
| 119/103 | Kommo-o | AR | Shown — release-day listing (SNKRDUNK, Sept 16, 2026) |
| 120/103 | Meowth | AR | Shown |
| 121/103 | Ditto | AR | Shown — release-day listing (SNKRDUNK, Sept 16, 2026) |
| 122/103 | Hisuian Zorua | AR | Shown |
| 123/103 | Maushold | AR | Shown — now the highest AR number |
That means 122 is no longer the top of the AR range — Maushold at 123/103 now holds that spot, with the compiled SAR block (124–133, 10 cards) starting just above it and the two FUR cards at 134–135. All 20 AR slots have now been seen: Kommo-o (119) and Ditto (121), the two that were still pending as of September 10, 2026, surfaced with release-day marketplace listings on SNKRDUNK (September 16, 2026; lowest asks ¥1,000 each) — their AR illustrators remain unpublished.
A note on Zorua’s neighbour: slot 111 is identified as Drifloon AR by both snkrdunk’s list and Bulbapedia, though the official site shows the image without a caption, so the identification rests on those lists agreeing. Its printed attack is まいあがる (20 damage, with the option to shuffle the Pokémon and all attached cards back into the deck). The regular-art Drifloon sits at 061/103 in the base set.

Predicted Value and Pull-Rate Status
The set has released, and real marketplace listings now exist for several of its chase cards. Hisuian Zorua AR is not one of them — there is no dated release-day figure for this card in this update, so the only figures in circulation for it remain pre-release predictions, and they should be read as exactly that.
The Japanese aggregator snkrdunk (updated 29 August 2026) predicted ¥1,500~ (~$9) for Hisuian Zorua AR, with a buyback estimate of ¥1,050. That was the joint-highest prediction in the AR block, level with Lapras AR and above the ¥1,000~ figures given for Drifloon and Lycanroc.
Pull rates are officially unpublished. The Pokémon Company has confirmed only two per-pack guarantees: one Pikachu card in every pack and one YOSHIROTTEN-designed basic energy in every pack, with each ¥360 pack containing six foil cards. A box is 20 packs at ¥7,200 MSRP. No AR, SAR or FUR ratio has been published, and PokeBeach’s pre-release box-opening report remains the only quotable structure — not a rate.
Two structural facts frame the market. First, the set released simultaneously worldwide on September 16, 2026 — unusual for a Japanese expansion. Second, Pokémon Center Online ran an additional lottery for the FUTURISTIC BOX and Card Set — applications ran September 11, 16:00 through September 16, 16:59 JST, with results due September 30, 2026, separate from open retail. On SNKRDUNK, the lowest asking price for a sealed M6a box fell from ¥47,200 on September 1 to ¥28,200 on September 10 and ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026 — still about 2.4× the ¥7,200 MSRP, as listings multiplied into release (asks, not sale prices).
If your interest is the top of the set rather than the ARs, the FUR chase-card list covers the Mew ex and Mewtwo ex Futuristic Rares.
Anniversary Sealed Product You Can Compare It To
The closest precedent for 30th Celebration is the 25th anniversary set S8a from 2021 — also a short, nostalgia-driven Japanese special set with secret-rare chase cards, and a useful benchmark for how anniversary product holds value five years on.
The S8a 25th Anniversary Collection booster box is currently listed at ¥67,200 (~$436) — a box that sold at ¥4,752 MSRP in 2021 and now trades at a large multiple, which is the argument anniversary-set buyers keep coming back to. Our S8a pull rates and best cards breakdown shows what that set’s chase structure looked like once real data existed.
At the premium end, the 25th Anniversary Golden Box is currently listed at ¥257,500 (~$1,672); it is the fully-loaded 25th anniversary product, covered in detail in our Golden Box guide. A middle option, the 25th Anniversary Collection Special Set, is currently listed at ¥33,600 (~$218).
None of this predicts what a Hisuian Zorua AR or an M6a box will do — but it is the reason demand for anniversary sealed product exists in the first place.
Where to Buy 30th Celebration Product from Japan
We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. The Hisuian Zorua AR comes out of standard M6a packs, so the sealed booster box is the direct route to the card now that the set exists on the secondary market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hisuian Zorua 122/103 a secret rare?
Yes. The 30th Celebration base set is 103 cards, and every card numbered 104/103 or higher is a secret rare. Hisuian Zorua is an Art Rare (AR) at 122/103, part of the compiled 104–123 AR block (20 cards, all now shown). It is not the highest AR — Maushold at 123/103 is.
Is card 122/103 Hisuian Zorua or Hisuian Zoroark?
Zorua, the unevolved form. Some early lists mislabelled the slot as Zoroark, but the official card image and the compiled set lists confirm Hisuian Zorua. The main-set (non-AR) versions of both Pokémon are official database entries: Hisuian Zorua at 098/103 (Megumi Mizutani) and Hisuian Zoroark at 099/103 (Kamome Shirahama).
What does the Hisuian Zorua AR card do in the game?
Per the Japanese card list it has one attack, Scratch, for 20 damage — the card text matches the regular 098/103 print. Its illustrator is not published. Like most Art Rares, its value is in the artwork rather than gameplay.
How much will Hisuian Zorua AR be worth?
The set released on September 16, 2026, but there is no dated release-day marketplace figure specific to Hisuian Zorua AR in this update. The only published figure remains a pre-release prediction from the Japanese aggregator snkrdunk (August 29, 2026): around 1,500 yen (about $9), with a 1,050 yen buyback estimate.
What card is 111/103 in 30th Celebration?
Drifloon AR, according to the snkrdunk and Bulbapedia set lists. The official site shows the card image without a caption, so the identification rests on those two lists agreeing. The regular-art Drifloon is 061/103.
Can I buy the M6a 30th Celebration booster box now?
