This guide covers three verified Japanese Chi-Yu ex prints from Clay Burst, all released on the same day. They are straightforward to compare once you know which of those three Clay Burst treatments you are looking at.
The card is イーユイex — Chi-Yu ex, printed as a Special Art Rare (SAR) at 092/071 in the Japanese expansion pack クレイバースト / “Clay Burst” (set code SV2D), illustrated by AKIRA EGAWA. This guide covers the three Clay Burst prints verified here, where the set sits in the wider Scarlet & Violet era, how the Japanese numbering compares to the English release, and where Chi-Yu ex’s SAR sits against the set’s actual headline chase card. The sealed source for these three prints is the SV2D–Clay Burst Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, currently listed at ¥9,880 (~$62).
The three Clay Burst prints documented here are 016/071 (Double Rare), 085/071 (Secret Rare), and 092/071 (Special Art Rare), released 14 April 2023. The SAR is not the set’s headline chase card; that title belongs to Iono SAR (096/071), per our own Clay Burst (SV2D) card list. These three Chi-Yu ex prints come from the SV2D–Clay Burst Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, currently listed at ¥9,880 (~$62).

The Card: Chi-Yu ex 092/071 SAR
Chi-Yu ex is one of the “Treasures of Ruin” legendary ex prints in Clay Burst — a secondary chase line inside the set rather than the set’s headline pull (that is Iono SAR, covered below). The 092/071 print is a Special Art Rare, a full alternate-art treatment illustrated by AKIRA EGAWA, and its position at #092 in a “071” set — a number past the set’s own base card count — marks it as a secret-tier slot rather than part of the main numbered run.
The set the card comes from — and the SAR pulls from it, Chi-Yu ex included — is contained in the SV2D–Clay Burst Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, currently listed at ¥9,880 (~$62). No PSA 10 single of Chi-Yu ex is listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests for a graded single go through Quick Order, and the sealed box above is where the three Clay Burst prints covered here are pulled from.

Print History: Chi-Yu ex Across Clay Burst
The three Japanese prints documented in this section come from the same set — Clay Burst (SV2D) — and were released on the same day. This is a focused account of the Clay Burst treatments, not an exhaustive history of every Japanese Chi-Yu ex print.
The 016/071 print sits inside the set’s main numbered run at the Double Rare tier — illustrated by 5ban Graphics — the standard non-secret treatment for an “ex” card in this generation of Japanese sets. The 085/071 print is a Secret Rare, illustrated by PLANETA Yamashita, placed outside the main 71-card count. The 092/071 print, shown above, is the Special Art Rare — a further alternate-art treatment, and the one this guide anchors on.
| Set | Number | Rarity | Illustrator | JP Release |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clay Burst (SV2D) | 016/071 | Double Rare | 5ban Graphics | 14 Apr 2023 |
| Clay Burst (SV2D) | 085/071 | Secret Rare | PLANETA Yamashita | 14 Apr 2023 |
| Clay Burst (SV2D) | 092/071 | Special Art Rare | AKIRA EGAWA | 14 Apr 2023 |
All three share the name Chi-Yu ex, so check the card number in the bottom corner first: 016/071 is the regular Double Rare, 085/071 is the Secret Rare, and 092/071 is the full alternate-art Special Art Rare covered in this guide.
Within Clay Burst, these three prints released on the same day and are parallel rarity treatments of one card, not a first edition and a later reissue.
The Set: Clay Burst (SV2D)
Clay Burst — クレイバースト in Japanese — is set code SV2D, released in Japan on 14 April 2023, the same day as its sister set Snow Hazard (SV2P). The set runs to 71 cards in its main numbering, with a further 28 secret-tier slots bringing the total cataloged rows to 99.
Clay Burst’s headline chase card is not Chi-Yu ex — it is Iono SAR (096/071), per our own Clay Burst (SV2D) card list, which covers the full 99-card catalogue. Chi-Yu ex’s SAR is a secondary Treasures of Ruin chase line sitting alongside it in the same set and the same box. For more on Iono’s prints across Japanese sets, see our Iono cards guide.
For a wider look at what else the set contains and how it opens, see our Clay Burst pull-rates and best-cards hub.
Where This SAR Sits Among Japanese Chase Rarities
Within Clay Burst, the three Chi-Yu ex prints covered here sit on three different rungs of the set’s rarity structure: the regular numbered Double Rare at 016/071, the secret-slot Secret Rare at 085/071, and the secret-slot Special Art Rare at 092/071. The SAR sits above both — the full alternate-art treatment placed outside the main numbering, which is the standard pattern for SAR-tier cards across this era of Japanese sets.
Even at SAR tier, Chi-Yu ex’s print does not outrank the set’s own headline pull. Our Clay Burst card-list hub identifies Iono SAR (096/071) as the set’s headline print, with Chi-Yu ex’s SAR sitting as a secondary Treasures of Ruin chase line beneath it. Fellow Treasures of Ruin member Ting-Lu ex (097/071) is an Ultra Rare from the same set and the same box — a sibling chase print rather than a Chi-Yu ex printing.
We do not currently list a graded single for any of these three Clay Burst prints. For the sealed source that these three — plus Iono SAR and Ting-Lu ex — are pulled from, see the box below.
