Two Charizard cards can sit side by side in the same binder page, share the same artist credit, and still sell for very different prices — because one carries a card number from inside a set’s Shiny Vault sub-checklist, and the other doesn’t.
Charizard V, card number 307/190, is that first kind of card. It comes from the Shiny Vault inside Shiny Star V (S4a), the Japanese high-class pack Pokemon released on November 20, 2020, with 326 cards total. The “307” in its number sits well above the set’s 190-card base checklist — the tell that a print belongs to the Shiny Vault sub-set rather than the main set.
This guide covers what the card actually is, why you’ll see its rarity written two different ways, how Shiny Star V relates to the English-market Shining Fates release, and what our own PSA 10 copy is currently listed at.
Charizard V SSR (307/190) is a Shiny Vault print from Shiny Star V (S4a), Japan’s November 2020 high-class pack with 326 cards total. Limitless Card Database labels its rarity tier “Shiny Ultra Rare”; the shorthand overseas collectors commonly use for it is SSR. Our own PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥41,908 (~$264) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
Prices are converted at ¥159/USD (September 2026). The only price referenced in this guide is our own current listing — no third-party auction or marketplace prices have been verified for this specific card.
What Is Charizard V SSR 307/190?
The Japanese name printed on the card is リザードンV (Charizard V). It was illustrated by 5ban Graphics and carries card number 307/190. The “/190” is the base-set checklist total for Shiny Star V, and any card numbered above that count belongs to the set’s Shiny Vault sub-checklist rather than the main 190-card set.
Shiny Star V (S4a) itself is a Japanese “Shiny Vault” high-class pack, released on November 20, 2020, with 326 cards total across the full set once the base checklist and Shiny Vault sub-set are combined.
If you’re chasing the modern Mega Evolution mechanic instead, that’s a different lineage entirely — our Mega Charizard X ex guide covers every printing from the Inferno X MUR down to vintage XY prints. This 307/190 card predates that mechanic and uses the Pokemon V system instead, with no Mega Evolution involved.
Inside Shiny Star V’s Shiny Vault
The Shiny Vault is the reason Shiny Star V remains one of the most talked-about Japanese sets from the Sword & Shield era. It’s the block of cards numbered above the 190-card base checklist, running up through the set’s overall total of 326, and it groups shiny-color reprints of that generation’s key Pokemon V and VMAX cards together in one dedicated chase section.
Charizard V at 307/190 sits inside that block, and it isn’t alone. Its own VMAX evolution appears in the same Shiny Vault, alongside other Pokemon V/VMAX shiny reprints from the set.
Charizard VMAX at 308/190 evolves directly from Charizard V at 307/190, and both sit in the same Shiny Vault — a useful pairing if you’re building the evolution line rather than a single card.

SSR, Shiny Super Rare, or Shiny Ultra Rare?
One thing that trips up buyers researching this card is the rarity label itself. Limitless Card Database, which catalogues the card at card number 307, lists the tier as “Shiny Ultra Rare.” Overseas collectors, however, commonly render the same Japanese-side rarity as “Shiny Super Rare,” abbreviated SSR — and that’s the label our own listing and roster use.
These aren’t two different cards or two different tiers — it’s one rarity slot with two names circulating in English-language collector shorthand. When you see “SSR 307/190” and “Shiny Ultra Rare 307/190” used for the same card, they refer to the identical print.
We haven’t verified exact pull odds for the Shiny Vault SSR slot in Shiny Star V, so we won’t state a number here. If pull-rate data is something you need for opening product from this set, treat any figure you find elsewhere as unconfirmed unless it cites a source.
Shiny Star V vs Shining Fates: Related, Not Identical
Shiny Star V (S4a) is the Japanese-side product. Its English-market counterpart is Shining Fates, which localised the same Shiny Vault concept under its own English-side rarity naming for shiny cards.
It’s important not to treat these as the same release, though. Shiny Star V and Shining Fates are separate market products with separate print runs, sold in different regions on different schedules. A Shiny Star V 307/190 and a Shining Fates equivalent are not interchangeable copies of one print — they’re parallel releases of the same design concept in two languages.
