Blaziken’s collecting market is a study in one card. The Hoenn starter has decades of printings, but “Blaziken VMAX alt art” is what people actually search for — the sprinting-through-the-landscape secret print that became one of the Sword & Shield era’s signature alternate arts. Everything else in the line is priced relative to it.
This guide covers the Japanese side of that market: the Peerless Fighters HR secret we hold graded, the print variations that get confused with it, and the current-era AR that gives the line a ¥5,000 entry point. Prices are live listing figures on PSA10 copies shipping from Tokyo.
The chase is the PSA10 Blaziken VMAX alternate art (086/070, Peerless Fighters) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), currently listed at ¥139,668. The entry point is the PSA10 Blaziken AR (101/098, Glory of Team Rocket) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) at ¥5,515 — a 25x spread inside one Pokemon’s line.
The Chase: Blaziken VMAX Alt Art, 086/070
Japan’s Peerless Fighters enhanced expansion (S5a, March 2021, 70-card base checklist) gave Blaziken VMAX its debut — a regular RRR at 008/070 and two HR secrets at 085/070 and 086/070 above the checklist. The 086/070 is the alternate-art scene print, the version that carried the card into the English market’s consciousness when Chilling Reign’s secret block (base 021/198, secrets at 200 and 201 of 198) arrived that June.
Our PSA10 copy of the Japanese 086/070 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥139,668 — a one-of-one listing. As with most first-print Japanese alternates, its market rides the English card’s fame with a smaller top-grade supply behind it.
Peerless Fighters has two HR-block Blaziken VMAX secrets, and listings regularly label both just “HR.” The alternate-art scene is 086/070; 085/070 is the other secret treatment. Confirm the number before comparing prices — the two do not trade alike.

The VMAX Climax CSR at 217/184 (December 2021) is the budget-conscious scene print of this card — the same role the CSR plays in the Rayquaza VMAX line — and one we source on request rather than shelve. For any print in this table not listed in our stock, Quick Order quotes it at the live Japanese market.
The Entry Point: Blaziken AR, 101/098
The current era handed Blaziken a much cheaper collectible: the Art Rare at 101/098 in Japan’s Glory of Team Rocket expansion (SV10, 2025) — the set behind the year’s Team Rocket mania, which we break down in our Team Rocket cards guide. As the first AR-tier Blaziken in a headline set, it’s the natural starter piece for the line.
Our PSA10 copy (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥5,515 — a graded card from 2025’s most talked-about Japanese set, for less than most raw vintage Blazikens.
