Other Verified Dragonair Prints
The same Pokemon Card 151 set also carries a base Uncommon print, 148/165, illustrated by Sanosuke Sakuma — the print behind our Master Ball Mirror listing, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥12,240 (~$79) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. See the full Pokemon Card 151 card list for the rest of that set.
The database’s newest Dragonair print sits in MEGA Dream ex (M2a), high-class pack number 125/193, illustrated by Gemi. Older printings include the SVD 089/139 print from ex Start Deck Terastal Dragonite (illustrated by Misa Tsutsui), an Uncommon from Paradigm Trigger (S12) at 071/098 (illustrated by Shinya Komatsu), a Common from Dragon Storm (SM6a) at 027/053 (illustrated by sui), and two promo prints — one from the Sun & Moon Promo Card Pack Vol. 7 (SMP 302/SM-P, illustrated by Sanosuke Sakuma) and one from the May 2015 Promotion Card Pack (XYP 132/XY-P, illustrated by Mizue). The M2a print and both promo prints carry no rarity icon in the database.
The database also lists a LEGEND-era LL 030/040 print, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, carrying a solid circle symbol rather than a lettered rarity.
The Evolution Line: Dratini to Dragonite
The evolution line printed on the 182/165 card reads “evolves from Dratini,” and the database’s evolution box for Dragonair shows the line continuing on to Dragonite, Dragonite GX, Dragonite ex and Mega Dragonite ex. The 182/165 print is a Stage 1 card. We cover Dragonair’s evolved form in our Shiny Dragonite card guide and our Dragonite Delta Species card guide, both covering separate verified Dragonite prints from the same wider Japanese print history. If you collect the line by set rather than by Pokemon, the Pokemon Card 151 card list linked above shows where the 182/165 and 148/165 prints sit within the same set, relative to their Dratini and Dragonite counterparts from the same release.
Rarity and Regulation Mark
AR stands for Art Rare (アートレア) per the official Pokemon Card 151 and VSTAR Universe product pages. Our wider Japanese Pokemon card rarities guide covers how the lettered rarity tiers work, including how they differ from the older LEGEND-era circle symbol the database gives no word label for.
The regulation mark read off our listed print’s card image is G. The official regulation page lists H, I and J as the marks the Standard format currently allows, so a G-marked print like this one sits outside Standard as of that page’s most recent update, dated January 22, 2026.
