Eternatus VMAX 247/184 is a Japanese Character Super Rare, not the gold Ultra Rare. A separate Japanese gold UR exists as Shiny Star V 328/190, so the two cards must not be conflated.
The card examined here is ムゲンダイナ — Eternatus VMAX, card 247/184, printed as a Character Super Rare (CSR) in the Japanese High Class Pack “VMAX Climax” (set code S8b), released 3 December 2021. The actual Japanese gold Ultra Rare is 328/190 from Shiny Star V. This guide identifies the 247/184 CSR, walks through the Eternatus family inside VMAX Climax, and compares the Japanese print against its English counterpart.
Eternatus VMAX 247/184 is a Character Super Rare from VMAX Climax (S8b); it is not the Shiny Star V 328/190 gold UR. The 247/184 single is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Quick Order. It is pulled from the S8B-VMAX Climax Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, currently listed at ¥39,900 (~$251). Our PSA10 Umbreon VMAX CSR (245/184) is currently listed at ¥34,676 (~$218).

The Card: Eternatus VMAX 247/184 Character Super Rare
Eternatus VMAX — ムゲンダイナ in Japanese — is a Darkness-type card in the Sword & Shield-era typing system, carrying 340 HP. The Character Super Rare print sits at card number 247, well past VMAX Climax’s own 184-card main-set count, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Numbering a card above the set’s printed total is the standard Japanese convention for marking a secret- or special-tier slot rather than a card that belongs to the main numbered run.
The rarity printed and catalogued for 247/184 is Character Super Rare (キャラクタースーパーレア). Calling this card the gold UR is inaccurate: that description belongs to the distinct Shiny Star V 328/190 Ultra Rare.
For S8b 247/184, look for “Character Super Rare” or “CSR.” The gold Ultra Rare is S4a 328/190.
We do not currently list a graded or single copy of the 247/184 CSR itself — sourcing requests for a graded Eternatus VMAX go through Quick Order. The S8B-VMAX Climax Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, currently listed at ¥39,900 (~$251), is the sealed product this print — and its 246/184 V counterpart — is pulled from. For the wider Eternatus story across all five Japanese sets that have carried the Pokemon, see our Eternatus cards guide; this article is a single-print deep dive on just the S8b/247 CSR.
Print History: Eternatus Across VMAX Climax
VMAX Climax carries four verified Eternatus prints — two of the V and two of the VMAX — and Eternatus V and Eternatus VMAX are separate cards with different HP, not two versions of the same card:
| Number | Card | Rarity | Illustrator | HP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 109/184 | Eternatus V | Double Rare | 5ban Graphics | 220 |
| 110/184 | Eternatus VMAX | Triple Rare | 5ban Graphics | 340 |
| 246/184 | Eternatus V | Character Super Rare | kodama | 220 |
| 247/184 | Eternatus VMAX | Character Super Rare | Mitsuhiro Arita | 340 |
All four prints released the same day — 3 December 2021 — so this is not an original-print-versus-later-reprint story. The Double Rare and Triple Rare prints are the main-numbered treatments; the two Character Super Rare prints are the parallel secret-slot treatments issued alongside them, each with its own illustrator. Eternatus V (220 HP) and Eternatus VMAX (340 HP) never share a card number, so a 220 HP copy and a 340 HP copy are always two different cards, whichever rarity tier either one sits in.
The Set: VMAX Climax (S8b)
VMAX Climax — ハイクラスパック「VMAXクライマックス「 in Japanese — is set code S8b, a High Class Pack released on 3 December 2021. Its main numbering runs to 184 cards. Reported set-composition figures put the full print run at 285 cards once secret-tier numbers are included (184 main-set plus 101 secret-tier) — that breakdown has not been independently re-verified card by card, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed to the same standard as the Eternatus print table above.
For the complete 285-card list, see our VMAX Climax card list & pull rates hub, and for a broader look at the set’s standout secret-tier cards, our S8b VMAX Climax pull rates & best cards page.

Where This CSR Sits Among Japanese Chase Rarities
Within VMAX Climax, the Eternatus line splits across two rungs of the set’s rarity structure: the main-numbered Double Rare (V, 109/184) and Triple Rare (VMAX, 110/184), and the secret-slot Character Super Rare pair (V 246/184, VMAX 247/184). The CSR sits above the Double Rare and Triple Rare prints — a full character-art treatment placed outside the main 184-card count, which is the standard pattern for CSR-tier cards throughout this set.
Listed examples from this set include PSA10 Umbreon VMAX CSR (245/184) at ¥34,676 (~$218), PSA10 Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX CSR (236/184) at ¥9,020 (~$57), and PSA10 Professor’s Research (Professor Juniper) SR (266/184) at ¥8,800 (~$55). The Eternatus 247/184 single is not listed on our site at the moment; sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
