Lost Origin Chase Cards: The Japanese Lost Abyss (S11) Prints Behind Them

Lost Origin’s Rainbow Rare and Secret Rare VSTAR/VMAX cards — the chase pulls collectors hunted from the set’s 9 September 2022 release onward — were never designed as English originals. Each of the eight chase-card slots mapped here traces back to a special-art-rare print released months earlier in Japan, split across two Japanese sets: S11 Lost Abyss and S10a Dark Phantasma.

This guide maps eight Lost Origin chase cards back to their Japanese source prints, set by set and number by number, and points you to the sealed Japanese product that can pull them. For the full Japanese-side breakdown, see our Lost Origin Japanese card list — this article covers only the eight chase cards, not the full 127 + 99-card spread across both sets.

Key Takeaways

Lost Origin’s Rainbow Rare and Secret Rare VSTAR/VMAX cards trace to two Japanese sets: S11 Lost Abyss (the main source, five of the eight chase-card rows) and S10a Dark Phantasma (the remaining three). The S11 Lost Abyss Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥44,000 (~$277) if you want to chase these prints yourself. For the complete card-by-card breakdown across both Japanese sets, see our Lost Origin Japanese card list.

Which Japanese Sets Lost Origin Was Built From

Pokemon TCG: Sword & Shield—Lost Origin released in English on 9 September 2022 with 247 cards. Per Bulbapedia, the set draws from more than one Japanese source: its main body comes from S11 Lost Abyss, with a further slice pulled from the S10a Dark Phantasma subset, plus scattered cards from Japan’s VSTAR/VMAX high-class decks and left-over prints from Time Gazer, Space Juggler and Battle Region. This article covers the two source sets our chase-card mapping is verified against — Lost Abyss and Dark Phantasma — card by card.

EN set JP set code JP name JP release JP size
Lost Origin S11 Lost Abyss 15 Jul 2022 127
Lost Origin S10a Dark Phantasma 13 May 2022 99

Both Japanese sets released well ahead of Lost Origin’s English date — Dark Phantasma by almost four months, Lost Abyss by nearly two. For the S11-only card list, see our Lost Abyss S11 card list; for a look at the set’s stronger pulls, see our S11 Lost Abyss pull rates & best cards article.

Lost Origin Chase Cards and Their Japanese Prints

The eight chase slots mapped here carry Rainbow Rare or Secret Rare status — the set’s two chase tiers — and each maps back to a Japanese special-art-rare print from Lost Abyss or Dark Phantasma, numbered above each Japanese set’s own listed size.

Rarity Names: English vs Japanese

Lost Origin uses two English rarity labels for these chase cards: Rainbow Rare, the community term for the set’s full-art secret tier, and Secret Rare, reserved for numbered slots that sit above the set’s own printed count — Giratina VSTAR’s #212, against Lost Origin’s 247-card total. Both English labels map onto the same style of Japanese numbering: a print slotted above Lost Abyss’ or Dark Phantasma’s own listed size, which this article calls the SAR-tier print.

An official Japanese rarity code for each of these eight cards individually has not been independently re-confirmed, so this article describes them as SAR-tier rather than asserting a specific certified rarity abbreviation. The SR-tier and regular-rarity siblings shown in the table above are more straightforward — they sit inside each set’s normal numbered run, well within the /127 or /99 count.

Japanese vs English Version: What Changes

Lost Origin renumbers everything into one continuous 247-card English sequence. The two verified Japanese source sets keep their own identity throughout: Lost Abyss cards are numbered against a /127 denominator and Dark Phantasma cards against a /99 denominator, and a card such as S11 #125 stays S11 #125 whether you’re holding it from a Japanese Lost Abyss booster box or comparing it against its English Lost Origin reprint.

The combined size of the two verified Japanese sources — 127 plus 99, or 226 cards — is smaller than Lost Origin’s 247. Per Bulbapedia, the remaining slots come from Japan’s VSTAR/VMAX high-class decks and from leftover prints of Time Gazer, Space Juggler and Battle Region, none of which this article’s chase-card mapping covers.

The S10A-Dark Phantasma Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥28,350 (~$178). Lost Abyss is also listed as a sealed box, and it is where five of this article’s eight chase-card rows originate, including both Giratina VSTAR numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Japanese sets do Lost Origin’s chase cards come from?

Lost Origin’s Rainbow Rare and Secret Rare VSTAR/VMAX chase cards trace to two Japanese sets: S11 Lost Abyss (the main source, five of the eight chase-card rows) and S10a Dark Phantasma (the remaining three).

Why does Giratina VSTAR have two chase-card numbers in Lost Origin?

Lost Origin printed Giratina VSTAR twice at chase-tier rarity — a Rainbow Rare at #201 and a Secret Rare at #212 — and both trace back to the same Japanese SAR-tier print, S11 #125.

What does “SAR-tier” mean in this article?

SAR-tier describes Japanese prints numbered above their set’s own listed size — the special-art-rare style slot each of these eight chase cards occupies in Lost Abyss or Dark Phantasma. An official rarity code for each card hasn’t been independently re-confirmed, so a specific certified abbreviation isn’t asserted here.

Can I buy the S10a Dark Phantasma booster box from you?

Yes — the S10A-Dark Phantasma Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥28,350 (~$178). We also currently list the S11 Lost Abyss booster box, which carries five of this lineup’s eight mapped entries.

When did Lost Abyss and Dark Phantasma release compared to Lost Origin?

Dark Phantasma released 13 May 2022 and Lost Abyss on 15 July 2022, both well ahead of Lost Origin’s 9 September 2022 English release.
