One Supporter, three Japanese high-class packs, three different illustrators — and not one of them shares artwork with either of the other two.
Melony is the Galar region’s Ice-type Gym Leader, and her Japanese name, メロン (Melon), has appeared on a Trainer – Supporter card three separate times across 2021 and 2022: a Super Rare in Silver Lance, a second Super Rare in VMAX Climax, and a Special Art Rare in VSTAR Universe’s “Galarian Gallery” subset. This guide covers all three verified Japanese prints — set, card number, illustrator and release date for each — and how they line up against the English-language Chilling Reign release.
Three Japanese Melony Supporter prints are currently listed as graded singles on our site, spanning three separate High Class Packs released between April 2021 and December 2022. The newest and highest-tier of the three — PSA 10 Melony SAR (244/172, VSTAR Universe, “Galarian Gallery”) — is currently listed at ¥14,649 (~$92). If you’d rather open the set that introduced the card to Japan, the Silver Lance booster box is currently listed at ¥19,000.
Prices are our own listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
Melony SR — Silver Lance (S6H) 083/070
Melony’s first Japanese Supporter print appeared in Silver Lance (S6H), a High Class Pack released 23 April 2021 with 83 cards in the set. The card is numbered 083/070, Super Rare (SR), and the illustration is credited to Taira Akitsu.
A PSA 10 copy of this print is currently listed at ¥13,923 (~$88). Silver Lance itself — the set that introduced Melony to the Japanese card pool — is currently listed as a sealed booster box at ¥19,000. For a full rundown of what else the set contains, see our Silver Lance (S6H) card list.
Melony SR — VMAX Climax (S8b) 274/184
Eight months on, Melony reappeared in VMAX Climax (S8b), a High Class Pack released 3 December 2021 with 277 cards. This second SR is numbered 274/184 and is illustrated by nagimiso, a different artist from the Silver Lance print.
The Silver Lance and VMAX Climax prints are both SR-tier full-art Supporters from the same general season, and it’s easy to assume they share artwork. They don’t: 083/070 is illustrated by Taira Akitsu, 274/184 by nagimiso. Treat them as two distinct prints rather than one card reprinted twice.
A PSA 10 copy of the VMAX Climax print is currently listed at ¥8,259 (~$52). The VMAX Climax booster box itself is currently listed at ¥39,900; our VMAX Climax booster box buying guide covers what else is inside.
Melony SAR — VSTAR Universe (s12a) 244/172, Galarian Gallery
A year later, Melony’s third and highest-tier Japanese print arrived in VSTAR Universe (s12a), a High Class Pack released 2 December 2022 with 254 cards. This is a Special Art Rare (SAR), numbered 244/172, sitting inside the set’s “Galarian Gallery” subset — a themed run of alternate full-art Trainer cards built around Galar-region characters. The illustration is credited to saino misaki; our saino misaki illustrator guide is a single-artist hub covering multiple cards, where this Melony guide is a single-trainer deep dive.
A PSA 10 copy of this print is currently listed at ¥14,649 (~$92). For the rest of the set, see our VSTAR Universe (s12a) card list; the sealed booster box is currently listed at ¥30,870.
On all three prints, the card’s Japanese name is メロン (Melon). If you’re checking Japanese marketplaces or grading population data, search that name rather than the English localisation “Melony,” which is only used internationally.
Where the SR and SAR Sit in Japanese Rarity Tiers
Both of Melony’s SR prints and her SAR print belong to the upper full-art tiers used across Japanese Sword & Shield–era High Class Packs. SR (Super Rare) covers the full-art Trainer and Supporter treatment used in Silver Lance and VMAX Climax. SAR (Special Art Rare) sits a tier above SR and is built around alternate, often more elaborate full-art illustrations — in VSTAR Universe’s case, grouped into the set’s named “Galarian Gallery” subset rather than scattered through the main print run.
| Set | Card # | Rarity | Release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Lance (S6H) | 083/070 | SR | 2021-04-23 |
| VMAX Climax (S8b) | 274/184 | SR | 2021-12-03 |
| VSTAR Universe (s12a), Galarian Gallery | 244/172 | SAR | 2022-12-02 |
Melony sits alongside a wider category of female Gym Leader Supporter cards carrying full-art SR and SAR treatments across these same eras; our female Pokemon trainer card roundup covers more of that category, and our broader PSA 10 trainer cards guide covers graded Japanese Trainer cards in general.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Melony in the Pokemon games?
Melony is the Galar region’s Ice-type Gym Leader. Her Japanese name is メロン (Melon); “Melony” is the official English localisation used internationally.
How many Japanese Melony Supporter cards are there?
The verified Japanese prints are three: Silver Lance (S6H) 083/070 SR, VMAX Climax (S8b) 274/184 SR, and VSTAR Universe (s12a) 244/172 SAR from the Galarian Gallery subset.
Are the Silver Lance and VMAX Climax SR prints the same artwork?

Chilling Reign (CRE) carries Melony across three English rarities: #146 (standard), #195 (full art), and #218 (secret rare). The Japanese Galarian Gallery SAR artwork was later reprinted internationally in Crown Zenith’s own Galarian Gallery subset as card GG64.
