What are the key facts for the Acerola’s Mischief SAR?

The key facts are a Japanese-edition card, set code M1S, number 090/063, rarity SAR. The table below lists the identifiers in one place, and the sources are linked beside them.

Everything below is about this one card and its two closest relatives. The card text and illustrator credits come from the two official pages linked above. If you want a wider look at this Trainer’s prints, our guide to Acerola full art cards covers the Japanese SR and SAR prints.

What is the Acerola’s Mischief SAR in Mega Symphonia?

The Acerola’s Mischief SAR is the SAR print of the card Acerola’s Mischief, numbered 090/063 in Expansion Pack “Mega Symphonia” (M1S), the Japanese edition of the set. Our PSA 10 product titles carry exactly that label: Acerola’s Mischief SAR [M1S 090/063].

Look at the number first. The set total printed on the card is 063, yet the SAR is numbered 090. The regular Acerola’s Mischief in the same set sits at 059/063, which is inside the total. So a card showing 090/063 and a card showing 059/063 are two different prints of the card with this name.

The Japanese database lists the regular print as Supporter, and Pokemon.com lists the English print as Trainer-Supporter, so both official sources agree on the card type of the prints they cover.

For collectors the practical point is simple: the identifiers that matter are the name, M1S, the number 090/063 and the SAR rarity. Any one of them alone can point to a different card. “Acerola’s Mischief” by itself matches the regular 059/063 print and the English print as well, so confirm the number before you buy.

The edition matters too. Everything in this guide that carries the M1S code refers to the Japanese edition. The English set is named Mega Evolution on Pokemon.com and uses its own numbering, so the two sets do not share a number scheme even though the card name is the same.

What does the number 090/063 tell you about the card?

The number 090/063 tells you the card is numbered 90 in a set whose printed total is 63, which puts it above the total. The regular Acerola’s Mischief, 059/063, is numbered below it.

The same pattern shows up on the English side. The English Special Illustration Rare is numbered 183/132 in the Mega Evolution set, so its number is also higher than its printed total. Reading the prints together, the Japanese SAR and the English Special Illustration Rare are both numbered above their set totals, while the regular Japanese print is not.

For searching, this is useful in a practical way. If a listing title says only “Acerola’s Mischief”, you cannot tell which print it is. If it says M1S 090/063, you know it is the Japanese SAR. If it says 183/132, it is the English print from Mega Evolution. Our own product titles use the full form, Acerola’s Mischief SAR [M1S 090/063], so the print is clear before you open the page.

The product pages repeat the same identifiers in their descriptions: Acerola’s Mischief No. 090/063, Set: Expansion Pack “Mega Symphonia”, Rarity: SAR. When the title and the description agree on the number, you can be sure which print you are looking at.

What does Acerola’s Mischief do in a game?

Acerola’s Mischief, in the two prints whose text the official pages show, lets you shield one of your Pokémon from your opponent’s Pokémon ex, and it can be used only if your opponent has 2 or fewer Prize cards remaining.

The official Japanese database describes the effect of 059/063 this way: it can only be played when the opponent has 2 or fewer Prize cards remaining; choose one of your Pokémon in play, and it takes no damage or effects from attacks or abilities of the opponent’s Pokémon ex. The same page repeats the standing rule that you can play only one Supporter card per turn.

The English card page on Pokemon.com, for 183/132, words it slightly differently: “You can use this card only if your opponent has 2 or fewer Prize cards remaining.” Choose one of your Pokémon in play. During your opponent’s next turn, it takes no damage or effects from attacks by your opponent’s Pokémon ex.

Reading the text closely, three parts do the work. The condition is about Prize cards: the card cannot be used until your opponent is close to the end of their Prize card count. The target is a single Pokémon of yours that is already in play. The protection is specific to Pokémon ex: the English wording blocks damage and effects from attacks by the opponent’s Pokémon ex, and the Japanese wording also names abilities.

Because it is a Supporter, using it counts as your Supporter play for the turn. The database page for the Japanese print states that you can play only one Supporter card per turn.

The effect text above is quoted from the 059/063 and 183/132 pages. The SAR 090/063 is a separate print, so read the text printed on the card in your hand as the rule for that copy.

How do the Japanese and English effect texts compare?

The two official texts agree on the core effect: a 2-or-fewer Prize card condition, one of your Pokémon in play as the target, and protection from the opponent’s Pokémon ex. They differ in how they phrase the scope and the duration.

The Japanese wording names abilities as well as attacks; the English wording names attacks and adds the timing. If you play the Japanese edition, use the Japanese text as the rule for that print. If you play the English edition, use the English text.

The database summary for the Japanese print does not state a duration. That is a difference in what the summary shows, so for timing in the Japanese edition read the card itself.

How is the Acerola’s Mischief SAR different from the regular 059/063?

The SAR is numbered 090/063 and carries the SAR rarity, while the regular print in the same set is numbered 059/063. Both are Acerola’s Mischief from M1S.

The official database entry for 059/063 lists the set as Expansion Pack “Mega Symphonia” with set code M1S, card type Supporter, and illustrator Yuu Nishida. The number 059 is below the 063 total. The SAR, by contrast, is numbered 090 in a set whose printed total is 063.

For a collector, a PSA 10 copy of the SAR is a separate item from a graded regular card, because the number and the rarity differ. Our PSA 10 listings name the SAR print explicitly, with the number 090/063 in the product title, so you can tell it apart at a glance.

If you collect Trainers from the same illustrator as the English print, our sui Pokémon cards guide covers the Acerola SAR alongside the Espeon ex SAR.

Who illustrated each Acerola’s Mischief print?

The regular Japanese Acerola’s Mischief 059/063 is illustrated by Yuu Nishida, and the English Special Illustration Rare 183/132 is illustrated by sui. These are the two credits the official pages state.

The official Japanese database lists Yuu Nishida as the illustrator of 059/063. Pokemon.com lists sui as the illustrator of the English card 183/132. The credit for the Japanese SAR 090/063 is not shown on either of these pages, so this guide does not assign one to it.

That matters because it is easy to blur prints together. A card named Acerola’s Mischief can carry the Yuu Nishida credit or the sui credit depending on the print, and the English illustrator credit does not carry over to a Japanese number by itself. When you shop, read the illustrator line on the card page for the exact number you want.

For graded copies of this card, the article on Acerola’s Mischief PSA 10 Japanese Pokemon Card (M1S 090/063, 084/063) looks at the PSA 10 side in more detail.

Is there an English Acerola’s Mischief Special Illustration Rare?

Yes. Pokemon.com lists an English Acerola’s Mischief as a Special Illustration Rare, number 183/132, in the Mega Evolution set, illustrated by sui.

The English page lists the card type as Trainer-Supporter and the rarity as Special Illustration Rare. English and Japanese listings use different rarity names (Special Illustration Rare and SAR), and different set names and totals, so the English 183/132 and the Japanese 090/063 are not interchangeable listings.

If you are buying for a Japanese-edition collection, keep your search on the M1S number. Our listings are Japanese-edition graded cards, and the product titles carry the M1S 090/063 label so there is no confusion with the English print. For other Japanese PSA 10 Trainer cards beyond this one, the PSA 10 Japanese Trainer cards guide includes Lillie, Acerola, Iono and Erika.

How do I read the identifiers before choosing a copy?

Read four things in order: the name, the set code, the number and the rarity. For this card, the match you want for the Japanese SAR is Acerola’s Mischief, M1S, 090/063, SAR.

The name alone is not enough, because the same name appears on the regular Japanese print and on the English print. The set code M1S tells you the Japanese edition of Mega Symphonia. The number separates the SAR (090/063) from the regular print (059/063). The rarity, SAR, confirms the tier named on the product pages.

On a graded copy, the grade is the fifth identifier. The product pages describe PSA 10 as the highest grade certifiable by Professional Sports Authenticator, awarded to cards in flawless, gem mint condition. They also note that the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface, so the case and the card inside are described separately.

Compare the photos with the title too. The two product photos in this guide show the graded case with the SAR inside, and the title on each product page repeats the same name, set code and number.

Should I choose the SAR or the regular 059/063?

Choose the regular 059/063 if you want the Japanese print whose official effect text you can read in the database, and choose the SAR 090/063 if you want the SAR print or a PSA 10 copy. Both are Acerola’s Mischief from Mega Symphonia (M1S).

The official database page covers 059/063, so that is the print with a published Japanese effect text and an illustrator credit (Yuu Nishida). The SAR is the print with the 090/063 number and the SAR rarity, and it is the print named in our PSA 10 product titles.

Whichever you pick, put the set code and number next to the name when you compare listings, and treat a mismatch in either as a different card.

How do I buy a PSA 10 Acerola’s Mischief SAR?

You can buy a PSA 10 Acerola’s Mischief SAR [M1S 090/063] from our shop: the PSA 10 Acerola’s Mischief SAR product page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥23,086.
