Five secret-rare grades in one 93-card set, with CSR as its character-art tier.
バトルリージョン (Battle Region), set code S9a, is a Sword & Shield-era Enhanced Expansion Pack released in Japan on February 25, 2022. Enhanced Expansions run smaller and denser than a full Regular Expansion, and Battle Region is a good example of the format — 93 cards total, including a CSR (Character Super Rare) character-art tier. SAR became formal rarity terminology in the later Scarlet & Violet era and is not a rarity in this set.
This guide covers exactly what’s in a Battle Region box, which cards define the CSR chase, how our Regular Box and Damaged Box listings differ, and where the set sits relative to its English-language counterpart. We ship Japanese sealed product and PSA-graded singles out of Tokyo, so the pricing below reflects our current listings.
Battle Region (S9a) is 93 cards — 67 base plus a 26-card secret-rare tier topped by two CSRs, Starmie V (083/067) and Garchomp V (084/067). The S9A-Battle Region Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥12,390 (~$78); the Damaged Box listing is currently listed at ¥11,320 (~$71). There is no SA or SAR grade in this set — CSR is the top character-art secret tier here.
Prices below are our own current listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
What’s in a Battle Region Box
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Official name | バトルリージョン (Battle Region) |
| Set code | S9a |
| Pack type | Enhanced Expansion Pack (SWSH era) |
| Release date (JP) | February 25, 2022 |
| Cards per pack | 6 |
| Pack price (MSRP) | ¥260 |
| Total cards in set | 93 (67 base + 26 secret rares, numbered 068–093/067) |
An Enhanced Expansion Pack uses a different pack format from a Regular Expansion. Battle Region packs contain six cards; this guide does not state a packs-per-box figure because that number was not independently reconfirmed for S9a. See our Time Gazer pull-rates guide for a separate set in the same broader release period.
The secret-rare tier is where Battle Region gets interesting. It splits into five separate grades:
| Rarity | Count |
|---|---|
| CHR Character Rare | 6 |
| SR Secret Rare | 9 |
| CSR Character Super Rare | 2 |
| HR Hyper Rare | 6 |
| UR Ultra Rare | 3 |
That’s 26 secret rares across five grades, and it’s worth being precise about terminology here: there is no SA or SAR grade in this set. Battle Region’s character-art chase tier is specifically called CSR, represented by Starmie V and Garchomp V. We don’t publish per-box pull rates for this set; for a full rundown of every secret-tier card, see our Battle Region pull rates and best cards guide or the complete Battle Region (S9a) card list.
Chase Cards in Battle Region: The CSR Tier
Five cards define why collectors go looking for this set specifically:
Starmie V, CSR 083/067 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order)
One of the set’s two verified CSRs, alongside Garchomp V below.
Garchomp V, CSR 084/067 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order)
The second and final CSR in Battle Region. Note that this is a different card from the regular (non-CSR) Garchomp V further down this set at SR — same Pokemon, two separate secret-rare printings in the same 93-card set.
Roxanne, SR 081/067
A Trainer/gym-leader card at the SR grade, and the one card from this set with a graded single currently listed on our site — PSA10 Roxanne SR is currently listed at ¥8,796 (~$55).
Kamado (デンボク), SR 082/067
Another Trainer-tier SR, sitting one number below Roxanne in the set’s secret-rare run.
Garchomp V (regular print), SR 079/067
The standard SR-grade Garchomp V, separate from the CSR-grade Garchomp V at 084/067 above.
Roxanne SR is listed as an individual graded single on our site. Starmie V CSR, Garchomp V CSR, Kamado SR, and the regular-print Garchomp V SR are not listed as singles at the moment — sourcing requests for any of them go through Quick Order.
Regular Box vs Damaged Box on Our Site
We list Battle Region sealed product in two conditions:
| Listing | Price |
|---|---|
| S9A-Battle Region Japanese Pokemon Booster Box | currently listed at ¥12,390 (~$78) |
| S9A-Battle Region Japanese Pokemon Booster Box – Damaged Box | currently listed at ¥11,320 (~$71) |
“Damaged Box” is a condition category we use for sealed booster boxes where the outer box — not the contents — is affected. The booster packs inside stay factory-sealed; you’re getting the same booster packs, in the same box count, as the regular listing. Damaged Box pricing moves independently of the regular box listing and isn’t always the cheaper of the two, so check both product pages for current pricing before ordering. We don’t currently have a “No Shrink” variant listed for this particular set.
