Card Facts: Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR SAR (234/172)
Here’s what’s verified for this specific print:
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Name (JP) | ヒスイ ゾロアークVSTAR — Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR |
| Card number | 234/172 |
| Rarity | Special Art Rare (SAR) |
| Illustrator | SIE NANAHARA |
| Set | VSTAR Universe |
| Set code | S12a |
The 234/172 numbering places this card outside the set’s base 172-card checklist — that’s the number as printed on the card itself. We’re not extending that into a claim about how the rest of the set’s cards are numbered.
SIE NANAHARA is credited as illustrator on this specific SAR. That’s a distinct piece of commissioned artwork — not a foil treatment of an existing print — which matters for the comparison in the next section.
The Other Two Prints in the Set
VSTAR Universe printed Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR twice more at lower rarities, both by a different illustrator than the SAR:
The regular VSTAR, 129/172, is a Triple Rare inside the set’s normal 172-card run, and the V print, 128/172, a Double Rare directly ahead of it. Both are illustrated by aky CG Works.
The SAR (234/172, SIE NANAHARA) and the regular VSTAR/V prints (129/172 and 128/172, aky CG Works) do not share an illustrator. This is a separate alt-art commission, not a foil variant of the same artwork — worth knowing if you’re trying to identify which print you’re holding from the art style alone.
Its Place in VSTAR Universe
Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR’s SAR is part of VSTAR Universe (S12a), a 262-card set. Its number, 234/172, is verified directly on the card itself; beyond that specific fact, we’re not making claims about how the rest of the set’s checklist is structured.
For the complete rundown of every card in the set — base prints, SARs, and everything between — see our VSTAR Universe (S12a) complete card list, which covers all 262 cards. If you’re tracking Hisuian Zoroark specifically across sets rather than just within this one, that’s what our Zoroark & Hisuian Zoroark cards guide is for.
