Ethan’s Adventure is a Trainer — Supporter card, and the print examined here is the Special Art Rare (SAR) numbered 089/063 from the Japanese Enhanced Expansion Pack Heat Wave Arena (SV9a).
In Japanese the card is printed as ヒビキの冒険 — Hibiki’s Adventure, Hibiki being Ethan’s Japanese name — and it belongs to a small run of “Ethan’s [Pokemon]” support cards that Heat Wave Arena built around the character. We currently list a PSA 10 copy of the 089/063 SAR, and this guide covers what the card does, where 089/063 sits inside Heat Wave Arena, how the set compares to its English release, and where the SAR print sits on the set’s rarity ladder.
The PSA 10 listing for Ethan’s Adventure SAR 089/063 is ¥25,078 (~$158). It comes from Heat Wave Arena (SV9a), a Japanese Enhanced Expansion Pack released 14 March 2025 with a main numbered run of 63 cards. Heat Wave Arena also carries 063/063 U and 084/063 SR versions, while Mega Dream ex later reprinted the card at 174. If you want the sealed source product for the SAR, see the SV9A-Heat Wave Arena Japanese Pokemon Booster Box.

The Card: Ethan’s Adventure 089/063 SAR
Ethan’s Adventure is a Trainer — Supporter card. Its effect reads: “Search your deck for up to 3 cards in total consisting of Ethan’s Pokemon and basic Fire Energy cards, reveal them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your deck.” It is a deck-thinning, resource-fetching Supporter built specifically around the “Ethan’s [Pokemon]” sub-theme that Heat Wave Arena introduced.
The 089/063 print is illustrated by Kariya and carries the Special Art Rare (SAR) treatment. Its position at #089 in a set whose main numbering runs to 063 — well past the set’s own card count — follows the standard Japanese convention for placing a card in the secret/special-rarity range above the main run rather than inside it.
Our own graded copy of this print is currently listed at ¥25,078 (~$158), PSA 10.
Print History: Ethan’s Adventure and the Ethan’s Family
The SAR at 089/063 is one of three Ethan’s Adventure prints in Heat Wave Arena: 063/063 is Uncommon, 084/063 is Secret Rare and 089/063 is Special Art Rare. The card was also reprinted as Mega Dream ex 174. Heat Wave Arena contains a broader group of “Ethan’s [Pokemon]” cards, and Ethan’s Adventure is the Supporter entry connected to them.
