How to Read a Japanese Chase List
Start With the Set Code
Japanese sets go by codes such as SV2a (Pokemon 151), M5 (Abyss Eye) and S10b (Pokemon GO). Codes with different letters are different sets with their own posts: SV2P, SV2D and SV2a are three of them.
Then Read the Rarity Code
Rarity is written as a code. These are five codes you will meet in a chase list.
Our product and listing names add labels of their own. Sealed and No Shrink are the option names on our booster-box pages. SA, 1ED, Master Ball Mirror and No holo are our listing wording, not official terms, and they are not rarity codes, so check a label against the set’s post before reading it as one.
Each set name links to its official page at pokemon-card.com, the source for the suggested price per pack and the cards per pack. Release dates and main-set card counts follow Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026); for SV2a, the release date is also printed on its official page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Japanese Pokemon sets have a chase-card post on our site?

How do I find the right chase post for a Japanese set?
Read the set code printed on the Japanese box, such as SV2a or M5, and open the post for that set in the M, SV, S or SM series. If you know only an English set name, such as Astral Radiance or Prismatic Evolutions, find its post among the English-named posts, each paired with the Japanese sets it covers.
How do I read AR, SAR, SR, UR and MUR in a chase post?
Read each as a rarity code: AR is Art Rare, SAR is Special Art Rare, SR is Super Rare and UR is Ultra Rare. The official card database lists MUR as a rarity code, for example on M5 118/081, and the title of our Mega Evolution gold-card post carries it, so open that post to see the cards it covers.
When did SV2a Pokemon 151 release in Japan?
The official page at pokemon-card.com prints the release date as June 16, 2023, a Friday. It prints a suggested retail price of ¥290 per pack including tax and 7 cards per pack. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions, as of September 15, 2026, gives 165 cards in the main set.
How much does the SV2a Pokemon 151 booster box cost?
The Sealed option of the SV2a Pokemon 151 booster box is currently listed at ¥54,998 (~$357)(update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), as of October 21, 2026. The set has two chase-card posts and a card-list page on our site, so open a post to see the cards the set is known for.
How do Japanese pull rates work?
Our post How Japanese Pokemon Pull Rates Actually Work (2026) is the place to start. Each set also has its own chase-card or pull-rates post, so open the post for the set you are reading about, and read any figures there with its set code and rarity codes in mind.
How are English set names connected to Japanese sets?
An English-named post covers the Japanese versions of that set’s cards. For example, the title of our Astral Radiance post names the Japanese S10D, S10P and S9a versions, and the title of our Prismatic Evolutions post names the SV8a Terastal Festival ex versions. Delta Reign is paired with M6 through the title of our Storm Emeralda M6 complete guide.
