Starmie V has three different Japanese prints inside a single set, and the rarity codes on the corner — DR, SR, CSR — are the only thing telling them apart at a glance.
The chase print is 083/067, a CSR (Character Super Rare) from S9a Battle Region, the Japan-only set released in 2022 whose Starmie V prints correspond to English cards in Astral Radiance. It shares a rarity tier — CSR — with cards from several other Sword & Shield–era Japanese sets, which is exactly why it sometimes gets mixed up with cards from a completely different set. This guide identifies the print, lays out all three Japanese Starmie V rarities side by side, and explains where it sits among Japan’s CSR-tier chase cards.
Starmie V 083/067 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) CSR is from S9a Battle Region (93 cards, released 25 February 2022) — not S8b VMAX Climax — and corresponds to Astral Radiance’s Trainer Gallery card TG13 in English. Our own PSA 10 listing is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests for this print go through Quick Order. If you’re collecting Japanese CSR-tier cards while you wait, PSA10 Enamorus V 088/071 CSR is currently listed at ¥13,199 (~$83), or browse the full PSA10 collection.

The Card: Starmie V 083/067 CSR
Starmie V (スターミーV) 083/067 is a Water-type card with 190 HP, illustrated by Akira Komayama. The card number — 083 against a set total of 067 — is the tell: any number that runs past the set’s base count marks a secret or chase-rarity slot added on top of the regular print run, and CSR is the rarity assigned to that slot in S9a Battle Region.
Its direct English-language equivalent is Astral Radiance #TG13, a Trainer Gallery secret print sharing the same illustrator, Akira Komayama. Astral Radiance also carries two other Starmie V prints under the same base card — a regular version at #30 and a full art version at #166 — which correspond to this card’s two lower-rarity Japanese siblings, covered next. English print sets don’t use the CSR rarity label — CSR is a Japanese-only tier name — covered in more depth in the Japanese vs English print section below.
This is a different card from anything in S8b VMAX Climax, a separate 184-card set with its own CSR cast (Umbreon VMAX CSR among them — see our S8b VMAX Climax pull rates and best cards guide). The two sets share a rarity name, not a card list, so double-check the set code before assuming a CSR Starmie V belongs to VMAX Climax.
Print History: The Three Japanese Starmie V Rarities
S9a Battle Region printed Starmie V three times, each at a different rarity tier. All three share the same card number base (067) and the same 25 February 2022 release date — only the rarity and the card number prefix change.
017/067 — DR (Double Rare)
The entry-tier print, illustrated by Eske Yoshinob. This is the version most commonly pulled from a Battle Region booster box, and the number sits within the set’s regular 067-card run.
075/067 — SR (Super Rare)
The alternate-art step up, also illustrated by Eske Yoshinob, and numbered past the 067 base — the first sign in the run that a print sits above the set’s standard rarity slots.
083/067 — CSR (Character Super Rare)
The anchor print covered above, illustrated by Akira Komayama and numbered highest of the three — consistent with CSR sitting at the top of this particular print run.
| Number | Rarity | Set | Japan release |
|---|---|---|---|
| 017/067 | DR | S9a Battle Region | 25 Feb 2022 |
| 075/067 | SR | S9a Battle Region | 25 Feb 2022 |
| 083/067 | CSR | S9a Battle Region | 25 Feb 2022 |
Three prints, one set, one release date — but the card number, rarity code and illustrator all change together across the three, from Eske Yoshinob’s DR and SR prints to Akira Komayama’s CSR.
The Set: S9a Battle Region
Battle Region (JP: バトルリージョン, set code S9a) released in Japan on 25 February 2022, part of the Sword & Shield era. It carries 93 cards total and has no single dedicated English-language edition of its own; its cards are localised into other English sets instead.
For Starmie V specifically, all three Japanese prints correspond to cards in one English set — Astral Radiance — each landing at a different card number, as covered next.
Where CSR Sits Among Japanese Chase Rarities
Within S9a Battle Region itself, the three Starmie V prints line up in a clear rarity order: DR → SR → CSR, with CSR occupying the highest slot in this particular run — reflected in its card number (083) sitting furthest past the set’s base count (067).
CSR isn’t unique to Battle Region — it’s a rarity tier that recurs across several Sword & Shield–era Japanese sets, each with its own CSR cast. S8b VMAX Climax (184 cards) has Umbreon VMAX CSR, and S10a Dark Phantasma has Enamorus V 088/071 CSR, pictured below. These are separate cards from separate sets that happen to share a rarity label with Starmie V — not sibling prints of it.
