Chilling Reign’s eight headline chase cards trace back to two Japanese Sword & Shield-era sets, Silver Lance (S6H) and Jet-Black Geist (S6K), with a smaller contribution from a third set, Matchless Fighters (S5a). If you’ve ever wondered why a Chilling Reign secret rare shares its artwork with a differently numbered Japanese card, this is the mapping that explains it.
This guide lines up eight of Chilling Reign’s VMAX secret rares against their confirmed Japanese source cards, explains the gap between the English “Rainbow Rare” community term and Japan’s own printed rarity conventions, and points to the two Japanese boxes we currently list if you want to chase these pulls yourself. For the full set-by-set breakdown, see our Chilling Reign Japanese card list.
Chilling Reign’s eight VMAX secret rares are drawn from three Japanese Sword & Shield-era sets — Silver Lance (S6H) and Jet-Black Geist (S6K) are the two direct source sets, plus a secondary contribution from Matchless Fighters (S5a). Our S6H Silver Lance Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥19,000 (~$119) and our S6K Jet-Black Geist Japanese Pokemon Booster Box at ¥21,000 (~$132). For the complete card-by-card breakdown across all three sets, see our Chilling Reign Japanese card list.

Chilling Reign Chase Cards and Their Japanese Prints
The eight VMAX secret rares below sit in Chilling Reign’s secret-rare gallery slots, numbered #199–#233 of the 233-card set. None of these eight singles is currently listed in our catalogue — sourcing requests for any of them go through Quick Order. We cover the rarity-naming gap between the two languages in the next section, but the short version: the exact Japanese rarity code was not independently confirmed for every row below, so treat these as verified set-and-number matches first and rarity-tier labels second.
1. Celebi VMAX — CRE #199
Chilling Reign’s #199 Celebi VMAX matches S6K Jet-Black Geist #4. This is one of three Jet-Black Geist cards in our eight-card mapping.
2. Blaziken VMAX — CRE #200
Chilling Reign’s #200 Blaziken VMAX matches S5a Matchless Fighters #8 — one of the two cards confirming that Matchless Fighters is a real contributing set for this English release, not just Silver Lance and Jet-Black Geist.
3. Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX — CRE #202
Chilling Reign’s #202 Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX matches S6H Silver Lance #28.
4. Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX — CRE #204
Chilling Reign’s #204 Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX matches S6K Jet-Black Geist #37 — the Shadow Rider counterpart to #202 above, and the set’s namesake pairing across the two sister boxes.
5. Sandaconda VMAX — CRE #206
Chilling Reign’s #206 Sandaconda VMAX matches S6H Silver Lance #44.
6. Galarian Slowking VMAX — CRE #207
Chilling Reign’s #207 Galarian Slowking VMAX matches S5a Matchless Fighters #47 — the second of the two Matchless Fighters confirmations in this list.
7. Metagross VMAX — CRE #208
Chilling Reign’s #208 Metagross VMAX matches S6K Jet-Black Geist #50.
8. Tornadus VMAX — CRE #209
Chilling Reign’s #209 Tornadus VMAX matches S6H Silver Lance #58, closing out the mapping at three S6H cards, three S6K cards, and two S5a cards.

Rarity Names: English vs Japanese
The term “Rainbow Rare” gets used constantly for these eight cards, but it is not an officially printed Pokemon rarity name — it’s a secondary-market label. Pokemon’s own English rarity symbol for all of these full-art secret cards is simply the star icon used for the Secret Rare tier, and in the CRE set gallery that tier runs from #199 through #233, covering every card mapped in this article.
Japan’s own numbering convention is different again. Silver Lance’s main numbered set runs to 83 cards, and a print like #28 sits within that main-set count as an alt-art tier card, while Japan’s true secret rares are numbered higher still, above the main set. We were not able to independently reconfirm the exact Japanese rarity code for every one of the eight cards mapped above, so this article presents them as verified set-and-number matches rather than confirmed rarity-tier labels beyond what’s stated here.

Three of the eight mapped chase cards above come out of Jet-Black Geist boxes; the other five split between Silver Lance and Matchless Fighters. If you want to open packs for a shot at these prints yourself, the two sets we currently list are Silver Lance and Jet-Black Geist.

Is “Rainbow Rare” the official name for these cards?
No. “Rainbow Rare” is a secondary-market term. Pokemon’s own printed rarity symbol for these full-art VMAX cards is the star icon used for the Secret Rare tier, which covers Chilling Reign’s #199–#233 gallery slots.
Can I buy PSA 10 singles of these eight chase cards from you?
Not currently. None of the eight chase cards mapped in this article has a graded single listed in our catalogue at the moment — sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
How much earlier did the Japanese sets release compared to Chilling Reign?
Silver Lance and Jet-Black Geist released in Japan on 23 April 2021, roughly two months ahead of Chilling Reign’s 18 June 2021 English release. Matchless Fighters released even earlier, on 19 March 2021.
Which Japanese booster box should I buy to chase these cards?
It depends which chase cards you want. Our S6H Silver Lance Booster Box (¥19,000 / ~$119) covers Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX, Sandaconda VMAX and Tornadus VMAX; our S6K Jet-Black Geist Booster Box (¥21,000 / ~$132) covers Celebi VMAX, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX and Metagross VMAX. Our S5a box (¥42,000 / ~$264) covers the remaining two cards, Blaziken VMAX and Galarian Slowking VMAX.

Mostly, but not entirely. Six of the eight cards mapped in this article come from S6H and S6K, while two — Blaziken VMAX and Galarian Slowking VMAX — trace back to a third Japanese set, Matchless Fighters (S5a).
