Litten Full Art Cards: Japanese AR Print and 30th CELEBRATION Promo

Litten Full Art Cards: The Japanese AR Print and the 30th CELEBRATION Promo

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. This page lists every Litten print of those rarities that our Japanese database checks cover.

See our full art Pokemon cards guide for how the term is used across Japanese sets.

Paradigm Trigger to Sun & Moon Promotional Cards

Litten’s earlier catalogue runs from its Sun & Moon-era debut through to the 2022 Paradigm Trigger set, spanning five mainline prints and one promo.

S12 015 — Paradigm Trigger

Illustrated by Narumi Sato, S12 015 is a Common print whose English equivalent is Silver Tempest #30. Our Paradigm Trigger booster box buying guide covers the set it comes from.

SM8a 001 — Litten’s Earliest Catalogued Japanese Print

SM10 013 (Double Blaze)

SM8a 001 (Dark Order)

Among the prints with a confirmed release date, SM8a 001, from Dark Order (5 Oct 2018), is the oldest catalogued Japanese Litten. Double Blaze (SM10) carries two separate prints of Litten — 013 and 014 — and Tag All Stars (SM12a) adds a further print at 023. Litten also appears in the Sun & Moon Promotional Cards line at 374, illustrated by kirisAki; that card’s rarity tier and release date aren’t listed on its source page.

SM12a 023 and SM10 014 share the same artwork and both correspond to the English Unbroken Bonds #27; SM10 013 corresponds to Unbroken Bonds #26, and SM8a 001 corresponds to Team Up #20.

Chase Prints and What Makes Them Collectible

Rarity-tier language is the clearest way to compare Litten’s Japanese prints.

Among the nine catalogued prints we’ve verified, SV5M 075 stands out: it carries the Art Rare (AR) tier, the highest we’ve verified across Litten’s catalogue, while the rest are printed Common or carry a rarity code that wasn’t shown on their source page. The Sun & Moon Promotional Cards print (SMP 374) sits outside the standard rarity system entirely, as a promo release.

Litten’s newest print, the 30th CELEBRATION foil full-art promo (120/M-P), also sits outside the standard AR/SAR/SR rarity ladder — it’s a dedicated promo card distributed through Card Set 7 rather than through booster packs. For a broader explanation of how Japanese rarity codes work, see our Japanese Pokemon Card Rarity Symbols guide.
