Entei Pokemon Cards Checklist: Every Print in the Official Japanese Database (2007–2026)

The Full Checklist: All 31 Database Entries

Rows follow the source-record order. The number cell links to the entry’s official database page. No prices appear in this table.

Row 4 (SV4a 213/190), row 7 (S12a 213/172) and row 19 (SM3p 073/072) are the three entries numbered above their set’s printed count in the V, GX and plain categories. The two LEGEND rows are single cards in two halves: the database lists the upper and lower numbers together because the cards are played as a pair. Our LEGEND cards guide explains that format.

The Oldest Entries: DP3, LP, MPS and the L2-B LEGENDs

Four groups of entries come from the database’s earliest records.

The DP3 DPBP#294 entry (row 31) is a LV.43, 80 HP Entei credited to Ryo Ueda. It carries a Poke-Body (rendered “Burning Fur”) that trashes the top 3 cards of the opponent’s deck each time damage from this Pokemon’s attack Knocks Out one of the opponent’s Pokemon, and an attack whose rendering reads “Flame Roar”: 60 damage, 20 damage to one Benched Pokemon, and on tails you trash 2 of your Energy (rendering).

The two LP entries (rows 25 and 26) are 80 HP and 90 HP cards by Yuri Umemura. The 80 HP card has a single attack, “Flare Drive” (rendering), that deals 80 and trashes all Energy attached. The 90 HP card has a Poke-Body that lowers its retreat cost by its attached Energy and a 70-damage attack that trashes the top 3 cards of your own deck (rendering).

The MPS entry (row 27) is the only one named 結晶塔のエンテイ (“Entei of the Crystal Tower”, rendering); the database credits it to Kagemaru Himeno at 80 HP and shows no card number. The L2-B entries (rows 29 and 30) are the two LEGEND pairs, credited to Shinji Higuchi. Our legendary-beasts guide places the L2 set, Reviving Legends, in 2010.

S and SV Codes: V, Start Deck and Regular Prints

The S-code and SV-code entries are the largest block: rows 2 to 15 of the checklist. They include the four Entei V, the Start Deck 100 prints, a Special Deck Set print and the regular Entei prints that followed.

All four Entei V entries (S12a 019/172, S12a 213/172, SI 056/414 ×2) are 230 HP with the same text: an ability rendered “Quick Dash” that draws a card once per turn while the Pokemon is in the Active Spot, and an attack rendered “Burning Rondo” for 20 plus 20 for each Benched Pokemon on both sides (rendering). S12a 213/172 is the Shigenori Negishi print; the other three credit PLANETA Mochizuki. The set is S12a, VSTAR Universe, and our legendary-beasts guide dates it to Friday, December 2, 2022. Our Entei V PSA 10 guide covers the four rows in depth.

SI 055/414 and SI 056/414 are the Entei entries in the SI set, Start Deck 100; our Start Deck 100 guide covers the product. SO 008/030 is the Entei in the SO set, a Special Deck Set. Both the SI 055 and SO 008 entries are credited to kodama, as is S5I 009/070.

The SV-code entries (SV3 016/108, SV4a 028/190, SV4a 213/190, SVJL 005/021) share one text: 130 HP, an ability rendered “Pressure” that lowers the damage of the opponent’s Active Pokemon’s attacks by 20 while this Pokemon is Active, and an attack rendered “Blaze Ball” for 60 plus 20 for each Energy attached to it (rendering). The SV4a 213/190 is numbered above the set’s printed 190; Ryuta Fuse is its credited illustrator, while the other three credit toriyufu. Our sibling guide to the 2023–2026 regular prints, Every Regular Entei Print 2023–2026, goes through them one by one.

The M2a 020/193 closes the checklist at the newest end. It is 140 HP, credited to Kazumasa Yasukuni, with a single attack rendered “Flare Fall” for 30 plus 90 more if you have 4 or more Energy in play (rendering). Its set is the Mega Dream ex high class pack.

Entei Cards That Are Not in the Database

The database starts at the Diamond & Pearl era, so the older Entei prints our guides cover are not among the 31 entries. This section names them only as far as our own published guides record them; none of their numbers, HP values or illustrators is added to a count above.

The last row matters for a common question. Among the 31 database entries there is exactly one upper-case Entei EX (BW4-B 009/069, row 28) and no lower-case Entei ex; the lower-case cards in the table belong to the 2003–2005 era and sit outside the database. For the Old Back format see our Old Back cards guide.

Where This Fits With the October 2026 Trademark Reports

On October 29, 2026 fan sites reported a Japanese trademark filing for 「マグマの鼓動」, which collectors read as a possible Entei set; nothing is announced. Our Magma Heartbeat trademark guide (working English translation of マグマの鼓動; no official English name exists) explains what is confirmed and what is not, and the ex★ 2027 trademark round-up compares the four reported names.
