Irida full art cards come from two sets eight months apart, and her Japanese name isn’t even “Irida.”
If you’re trying to sort out which Irida card you’re holding, or which one is worth chasing, the confusion usually starts with the name on the card itself: it reads カイ (Kai), not Irida. Limitless’s own Japanese–English card index resolves Kai to “Irida” for this exact card family, and once you know that, the rest sorts out cleanly — three confirmed Japanese printings across two sets released in 2022.

Irida (カイ/Kai) has three confirmed Japanese printings: a regular Rare and a Super Rare (SR) from Space Juggler (April 2022), plus a Special Art Rare (SAR) from VSTAR Universe (December 2022). The full-art prints covered here include the SR and the SAR.

Irida Full Art Cards: Every Japanese SR and SAR 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. The Irida full art cards covered here are SR and SAR Supporter prints:
| Card | Set mark · number | Rarity | Illustrator | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Irida | S10P · 077/067 | SR | kirisAki | sold out at the time of this update |
| Irida | S12a · 236/172 | SAR | Naoki Saito | sold out at the time of this update |

Who Is Irida? The Card Behind Kai
Irida is the Diamond Clan leader from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and she’s one of the more recognisable Supporter characters from that game’s card lineup. On the Japanese card itself, though, her name is printed as カイ (Kai) — the “Irida” name only appears on the English-language equivalent, Astral Radiance 147. Limitless’s own JP–EN card database explicitly maps Kai to Irida for this card family, so if you’re searching Japanese marketplaces or grading labels, “Kai” (or 077/067, 064/067, 236/172) is what you’ll actually see.
There are three confirmed Japanese printings of this Supporter, split across two sets released eight months apart in 2022: a regular Rare and a Super Rare (SR) from Space Juggler in April, and a Special Art Rare (SAR) from VSTAR Universe in December.
One thing worth flagging before you buy: there’s a separate card called “Friends in Hisui” (from the English set Crown Zenith 148) that depicts Irida alongside several other Pokémon Legends: Arceus characters. That’s a different card entirely — a group-cast Supporter, not this one.
For more on this era of female Supporter cards from Japan, our female Pokémon Trainer card guide and PSA10 Trainer card catalogue cover the wider category.
Space Juggler (2022): The Original SR
Irida’s first Japanese printings come from Space Juggler, set code S10P, released 8 April 2022. The set’s card corners carry a denominator of 067, and Irida appears twice within it — once as a standard chase print and once as the set’s headline Supporter.
The 077/067 Super Rare is the one collectors mean when they say “the Irida SR.” It’s a full-art print illustrated by kirisAki, and it’s the same illustrator credited on the regular 064/067 Rare beneath it — both prints share artwork direction even though the SR gets the full-bleed treatment.
The English-language equivalent of this card family is Astral Radiance 147, printed as a plain Rare with no full-art SR-equivalent slot in the English set. That’s a common pattern with Japanese Supporter cards from this era — the JP full-art SR often has no direct English counterpart, which is part of why the Japanese secondary market treats it as the more collectible version.
For the rest of what Space Juggler contains, see our Space Juggler (S10P) complete card list and the broader Astral Radiance Japanese sets guide.
VSTAR Universe (2022): The Special Art Rare
Eight months after Space Juggler, Irida returned in VSTAR Universe, set code S12a, released 2 December 2022. This is a large set — 254 total cards — and Irida’s card sits at 236/172, a number that reflects a sub-numbering block within the set rather than the set’s overall total.
This is a Special Art Rare (SAR), one tier up from a standard SR in modern-era Japanese rarity conventions — a dynamic, full-body illustration rather than a static full-art background. It’s illustrated by Naoki Saito. The card’s effect lets you search your deck for a Water-type Pokémon and an Item card, reveal both, and add them to your hand — a consistency tool built around Water-type decks specifically.
For the full rundown of what else is in this set, see our VSTAR Universe (S12a) complete card list and VSTAR Universe booster box buying guide.
SR vs SAR: Which Irida Print to Buy
Here’s how the three confirmed printings line up side by side:
| Printing | Set | Released | Illustrator | Our PSA10 listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 236/172 SAR | VSTAR Universe (S12a) | Dec 2022 | Naoki Saito | sold out at the time of this update |
| 077/067 SR | Space Juggler (S10P) | Apr 2022 | kirisAki | sold out at the time of this update |
| 064/067 Rare (base) | Space Juggler (S10P) | Apr 2022 | kirisAki | not listed |
If you want the earlier, original full-art treatment of this character, the Space Juggler SR is the pick. If you want the later, higher rarity-tier print with the more dynamic illustration style, the VSTAR Universe SAR is the one to look for.
Pictured here is Gloria 276/184 SR from VMAX Climax — a different card, shown only as a size/style comparison for another female Supporter SR from a nearby era. It is not an Irida print.
The Illustrators: kirisAki and Naoki Saito
Both Space Juggler printings of Irida — the 077/067 SR and the 064/067 regular Rare — are credited to kirisAki. The VSTAR Universe SAR, 236/172, is credited to a different artist, Naoki Saito.
If you’re building a collection around a specific illustrator rather than a specific character, our dedicated guides go deeper: the kirisAki Pokémon cards guide and the Naoki Saito Pokémon cards guide both catalogue their wider body of work across sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Irida Pokémon cards are there?
Three confirmed Japanese printings: a regular Rare (064/067) and a Super Rare (077/067) from Space Juggler, plus a Special Art Rare (236/172) from VSTAR Universe.
What is Irida’s Japanese name on the card?
カイ (Kai). Limitless’s own Japanese–English card index maps Kai to “Irida” for this specific card family, which is why the English name doesn’t appear on the Japanese print itself.
What does the Irida VSTAR Universe card do?
It lets you search your deck for a Water-type Pokémon and an Item card, reveal both, and add them to your hand.
Is “Friends in Hisui” the same card as Irida’s Supporter card?
No. Friends in Hisui (Crown Zenith 148) is a different card that depicts Irida alongside other Pokémon Legends: Arceus characters — it isn’t part of this Supporter card family.
Which Irida cards are full art?
The Irida full art cards covered here are the Space Juggler SR at 077/067, illustrated by kirisAki, and the VSTAR Universe SAR at 236/172, illustrated by Naoki Saito. The regular Rare at 064/067 is a base print rather than a full art card.
