Fusion Strike Pokemon Booster Box and ETB vs Japanese Fusion Arts (S8)

Fusion Strike Pokemon Booster Box and ETB vs Japanese Fusion Arts (S8)

A Fusion Strike booster box is not listed on the official English pages: pokemon.com prints an Elite Trainer Box with eight packs and no promo card, and no booster display.

The official set page gives a release date of November 12, 2021 and “Over 260 cards” (as of September 29, 2026). The Japanese set placed beside it is S8 Fusion Arts, released on September 24, 2021 at ¥165 per five-card pack according to the official pokemon-card.com product page. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) maps S8 to Fusion Strike; no official page says the two sets are equal.

We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.

Key Takeaways

The English ETB officially holds 8 packs. The Japanese route is the S8 Fusion Arts box, currently listed at ¥48,720 (~$316). Card by card, Limitless TCG lists English prints by the same illustrators for the Mew V, Genesect V and Greedent V cards, but no official page calls the sets equal.

Updated September 29, 2026 — Official ETB Contents and Dated SNKRDUNK Asks
  • ETB contents are exactly what the pokemon.com product page prints (as of September 29, 2026).
  • Every marketplace figure is the lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, September 29, 2026 — an asking price, not a sale.
  • Twelve Fusion Arts chase cards are tracked with a raw ask, a PSA 10 ask and our listing where available; some cells are empty (as of September 29, 2026).

What pokemon.com Prints for Fusion Strike

The set page and the product gallery on pokemon.com are the official sources for the English side. The table separates what they print from what they leave out.

Fact What the official page prints Status
Set name Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike Official
Release date November 12, 2021 Official
Set size “Over 260 cards” Official
Elite Trainer Box launch November 12, 2021 Official

The Fusion Strike ETB: Contents

The product page lists the following, with a launch date of November 12, 2021:

  • 8 booster packs
  • 65 card sleeves featuring Mew
  • 45 Energy cards
  • A player’s guide and a rulebook
  • 6 damage-counter dice and 1 competition-legal coin-flip die
  • 2 acrylic condition markers
  • A collector’s box with 4 dividers
  • A code card for TCG Online

The Fusion Strike page lists two acrylic condition markers and no acrylic VSTAR marker, which the Brilliant Stars ETB that followed does list. The Brilliant Stars page also lists no promo card, so the absence of a promo is shared by both. The sleeves feature Mew, and Mew is also the Pokémon behind the three highest raw asks among the Fusion Arts chase cards.

The Japanese Fusion Arts Box: Spec Compared

The Japanese product is a box of five-card booster packs. The official pokemon-card.com page for S8 prints the pack price and the card count per pack, but not the number of packs in a box or a box price (as of September 29, 2026).

S8-Fusion Arts Japanese Pokemon Booster Box
S8-Fusion Arts Japanese Pokemon Booster Box

The pack price of ¥165 is the only official Japanese price in the comparison; the listing price in the last row is ours. SNKRDUNK’s singles list runs up to 129/100, but that is a listing title and not an official card list.

Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) maps S8 Fusion Arts to Fusion Strike. The same list describes a second Japanese set, S6a Eevee Heroes, as parts of Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies. Both are set-level mappings reported by Bulbapedia in that list, not official statements; the date is the reference snapshot, not a publication date.

Set Release date Pack price Cards per pack Bulbapedia mapping
S6a Eevee Heroes May 28, 2021 ¥165 5 plus 1 riddle card Parts of Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies
S8 Fusion Arts September 24, 2021 ¥165 5 Fusion Strike
Fusion Strike (English) November 12, 2021 Not stated officially Not stated –

Both Japanese sets carry earlier dates than the English one. Our S8 box is the direct route to Fusion Arts; the S6a Eevee Heroes box is currently listed at ¥131,058 (~$851). Because the official pages print no equivalence statement, the next section pairs individual cards with the outlet that lists them.

Card by Card: English Prints by the Same Illustrator

Limitless TCG lists the English prints of each Japanese card under “Int. Prints”. The table shows the English prints credited to the same illustrator as the official pokemon-card.com database credits for the Japanese card; where several exist, the tier choice is an inference and the alternative is named.

Japanese card Rarity (official database icon) Illustrator (official database) Fusion Strike print by the same illustrator (Limitless TCG)
S8 106 Mew V (special art) SR Naoki Saito #251 (only English print by the same illustrator)
S8 105 Mew V SR aky CG Works #250 (only English print by the same illustrator)
S8 109 Genesect V (special art) SR Akira Komayama #255 (only English print by the same illustrator)
S8 111 Greedent V (special art) SR Saya Tsuruta #257 (only English print by the same illustrator)
S8 113 Elesa’s Sparkle SR Ryuta Fuse #260 (tier pick is our inference; other same-illustrator print: #275)
S8 114 Dancer SR Yuu Nishida #259 (tier pick is our inference; other same-illustrator print: #274)
S8 119, 118 Mew VMAX; 125 Flaaffy; 128, 129 Basic Energy; 122 Elesa’s Sparkle Not in the database (SNKRDUNK titles: HR:SA, HR, UR, UR, UR, HR) – No English counterpart verified

The Secret Cards Missing From the Official Database

The official pokemon-card.com database ends at 115/100 for S8 and leaves out the HR and UR tier, so these six cards have no official image and no illustrator credit. The rarity codes below are the ones in SNKRDUNK’s listing titles.

Number Card Rarity (SNKRDUNK title) Raw ask (grade A) PSA 10 ask Our listing
S8 119 Mew VMAX HR:SA ¥178,000 (~$1,156) ¥146,000 (~$948) PSA 10 back order: ¥150,359 (~$976)
S8 118 Mew VMAX HR ¥20,000 (~$130) ¥24,999 (~$162) PSA 10 back order: ¥26,112 (~$170)
S8 125 Flaaffy UR No raw ask listed ¥12,998 (~$84) Not listed

S8 129 Basic Fire Energy UR ¥4,800 (~$31) ¥18,000 (~$117), possibly a single listing PSA 10 back order: ¥18,360 (~$119)
S8 122 Elesa’s Sparkle HR ¥4,800 (~$31) ¥10,900 (~$71) PSA 10 back order: ¥11,118 (~$72)

PSA10 Mew VMAX HR S8 118/100 Fusion Arts
PSA10 Mew VMAX HR [S8 118/100], Fusion Arts

All asks are the lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, September 29, 2026. Three rows carry a caveat. On Mew VMAX 119 the raw ask is higher than the PSA 10 ask on the same card page. Flaaffy 125 has only a PSA 10 ask, so there is no raw figure. The PSA 10 asks for the two Energy cards may rest on a single listing. The 119 card is offered as a PSA 10 back order — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms (see how PSA 10 back orders work).

The six secret-block cards are in the table under the previous heading. These are asking prices as of September 29, 2026; neither table contains sold prices.

English ETB or Japanese Box: A Checklist

  1. You want an ETB with accessories. Only the English product carries sleeves, Energy cards, dice, markers and a divided box. The Japanese product is a box of booster packs.
  2. You want the Japanese printing of a Mew. The S8 cards carry the /100 numbering and Japanese text. Compare our Mew VMAX card guide and the Fusion Strike chase cards article before choosing a card.
  3. You want a graded copy. The PSA 10 cards in the tables are back-order listings; the Japanese vs English Pokemon cards article explains what changes with language.
  4. You are weighing the box. Read the S8 Fusion Arts booster box buying guide first, then decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many packs are in the Fusion Strike Elite Trainer Box?

Eight. The pokemon.com product page for the Fusion Strike ETB lists 8 booster packs, 65 Mew sleeves, 45 Energy cards, a player’s guide, a rulebook, 6 dice, a coin-flip die, two acrylic condition markers, a box with 4 dividers and a code card.

How many cards are in Fusion Strike?

The official set page for Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike says “Over 260 cards” and gives no exact total. The Japanese S8 Fusion Arts cards are numbered out of 100, and the official card database runs to 115/100. SNKRDUNK’s singles list runs up to 129/100, but that is a listing title and not an official card list.

When did Fusion Strike release in English and in Japan?

The English Fusion Strike set released on November 12, 2021, according to the official pokemon.com set page. The Japanese S8 Fusion Arts expansion released on September 24, 2021, according to the official pokemon-card.com product page. Both dates are printed by the companies themselves.

Is there an English Fusion Strike booster box?

The official English pages describe an Elite Trainer Box but list no booster display or bundle for Fusion Strike, so no English booster box, pack count or price can be quoted. The Japanese product we sell for this set is the S8 Fusion Arts booster box, currently listed at ¥48,720 (~$316).

How much does a Fusion Strike booster box cost?

No English MSRP is stated officially. The official Japanese product page prints ¥165 per five-card pack, tax included, and no box price. Our S8 Fusion Arts box is currently listed at ¥48,720 (~$316), and it is a Japanese product. A store price is not an MSRP.

Is Fusion Strike the same as Fusion Arts?

No official page says so. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) maps S8 Fusion Arts to Fusion Strike, and Limitless TCG lists English prints by the same illustrators for several cards, but the mapping is reported, not official. Treat the link as a collector’s guide, not a statement of equality.

How does a PSA 10 back order for a Japanese card work?

A back-order listing is a PSA 10 copy sourced to order rather than held on a shelf. The product page shows the current terms, including the price. Each back-order price in the tables is the listed price on its own product page, and the linked explainer covers the process step by step.
