Three prints, two illustrators, one Supporter card. If you’re holding a Japanese Candice card and trying to work out exactly what you have, the number printed in the bottom corner tells you almost everything you need to know.
Candice — スズナ (Suzuna) in Japanese — is a Trainer/Supporter card from Paradigm Trigger (S12), the Japanese set behind the English-language Silver Tempest expansion. Across that set’s print run, Candice appears three separate times at three different rarities, and the gap between them — in artwork, in scarcity, and in what collectors are willing to pay — is significant. This guide walks through all three confirmed prints, explains how to tell them apart, and covers the graded copy we currently have listed.
Candice has three confirmed Japanese prints from Paradigm Trigger (S12): the base #095/098 (illustrator Ken Sugimori), the full-art #113/098 SR Secret Rare (illustrator Naoki Saito), and the #121/098 HR Hyper Rare (also Naoki Saito). No promo printing of this card has been located. We currently list a PSA10-graded 113/098 Secret Rare (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) at ¥12,825 (~$81).
Prices in this guide are current listing prices, not market averages, converted at ¥159/USD (September 2026).
How to Identify Your Candice Print
Paradigm Trigger was released in Japan on 21 October 2022 as a 125-card set, and it’s the Japanese-language set that sits behind the English Silver Tempest expansion. Its base numbering runs to /098, which is the number you’ll see printed after the slash on every card in the set — including the regular Candice. Any Candice numbered above 098, such as 113/098 or 121/098, is printed in a “secret” slot above the official set count, which is the standard way Japanese sets signal a Secret Rare or Hyper Rare without needing a separate insert product.
Three Japanese prints of Candice are confirmed to exist:
| Rarity | Illustrator | |
|---|---|---|
| #095/098 | Regular (Uncommon) | Ken Sugimori |
| #113/098 | Secret Rare (Full Art) SR | Naoki Saito |
| #121/098 | Hyper Rare HR | Naoki Saito |
No promo printing of Candice has turned up in the Japanese market. So if you’re trying to place a card that doesn’t match one of these three numbers, the likeliest explanation is that you’re holding an English Silver Tempest print — #152/195, #189/195, or #204/195 — rather than a fourth Japanese variant.
Don’t rely on foiling alone. The 113/098 Secret Rare and the 121/098 Hyper Rare are both full-art-style Trainer cards illustrated by the same artist, Naoki Saito, so at a glance in a sleeve they can look close. The print number in the corner is the fastest, most reliable way to tell them apart.
The Secret Rare: 113/098
The 113/098 print is the full-art Secret Rare version of Candice, and it’s the print most collectors mean when they talk about “the” Candice card. It sits in the secret-rare number range above the set’s 098-card base, which in Japanese sets typically signals a card pulled at a materially lower rate than anything within the numbered set proper.
This is the exact print we currently have graded and listed: a PSA10 Candice 113/098 Secret Rare (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), currently listed at ¥12,825 (~$81) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). If it’s sold through by the time you’re reading this, the fastest way to source another copy is through our Quick Order page, which we use to track down specific graded singles on request.
For the wider set this card comes from, our Paradigm Trigger (S12) card list covers all 125 numbered cards, and our Paradigm Trigger pull rates and best cards guide puts this Secret Rare in context against the rest of the set’s chase cards.
The Regular and Hyper Rare Prints
The two prints that sit either side of the Secret Rare in rarity are worth knowing even if the 113/098 is the one you’re after — they’re easy to mistake for each other in a listing photo.
The 095/098 regular print is the version that ships inside the base numbered set at Uncommon rarity, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. It’s the print most players actually run in a deck, since it’s the easiest of the three to pull or trade for, and it carries a standard card frame rather than full-art treatment.
The 121/098 Hyper Rare sits above even the Secret Rare in Paradigm Trigger’s numbering. Like the 113/098, it’s illustrated by Naoki Saito, which means the two share an artist and a broadly similar full-art presentation — the print number is what separates them, not the artwork style. Hyper Rares in this generation of Japanese sets are consistently printed in smaller numbers than the Secret Rares beneath them, though we don’t have a verified pull-rate figure to quote for this specific card.
Two Illustrators, One Card
One detail that’s easy to miss when you’re comparing these three prints side by side: they weren’t all illustrated by the same person. The 095/098 regular print is credited to Ken Sugimori, while both the 113/098 Secret Rare and the 121/098 Hyper Rare are credited to Naoki Saito.
That split matters for two reasons. First, it means the “upgrade path” from the regular print to either chase print isn’t just a rarity upgrade — it’s a genuinely different piece of artwork by a different artist, not a foil treatment of the same illustration. Second, it means the 113/098 and 121/098 share more visual DNA with each other than either shares with the 095/098, which is exactly why the print number matters more than the art style when you’re identifying a copy.
If you’re building a set of every Candice print rather than chasing a single card, this is also the detail that makes the project interesting: it’s a three-card run split across two distinct illustrations rather than three foil variants of one drawing. For the broader Silver Tempest print family both Paradigm Trigger and its companion Japanese set sit behind, our Silver Tempest Japanese card list covers the sets involved.
