What the 138/103 Misty Reprint Actually Is
30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at ¥360 per six-card foil pack. The official card database lists the main set 001–103, the Classic Collection 136–165 and the eight Basic Energy (140 entries as of October 21, 2026); it has no rows for the AR, SAR and FUR numbers 104–135. Misty 138/103 sits in the Classic Collection: 30 cards, numbered 136–165, which the official page presents as cards symbolising the game’s history returning in a special specification. PokeBeach describes the block as carrying a sparkling holofoil and gold-border treatment. The official page says these cards cannot be used in the current Standard regulation, only where the original card is legal.
The official card database lists 138/103 with the Japanese name カスミ (Kasumi, localised as Misty), the card type サポート (Supporter) and illustrator Ken Sugimori.
The Original Misty Print
The official 30th CELEBRATION page captions card 138 with 「1998年発売 ポケモンジム第1弾「ハナダシティジム カスミ」」: the first Pokémon Gym product, released in 1998 in Japan. Per Limitless TCG, the English card with the same name is Misty from Gym Heroes, #18/132, Holo Rare, illustrated by Ken Sugimori; compiled English checklist sites (Bill’s Archive, thornberrymedia) list that printing as the original for slot 138/103. Both sites flag it as “reported”, and only Charizard and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX among the 30 are Pokémon Company-confirmed in those lists.
| Field | Misty 138/103 in the official card database |
|---|---|
| Card type | Supporter (サポート) |
| Illustrator | Ken Sugimori |
| Rules text | “You can’t play this card unless you discard 2 cards from your hand. During this turn, damage from attacks used by Misty’s Pokémon to the opponent’s Active Pokémon is increased by 20 (damage to Benched Pokémon is unchanged).” |
Per Limitless TCG’s transcription of Gym Heroes #18: “Discard 2 of the other cards in your hand in order to play this card. If this turn’s attack does damage to the Defending Pokemon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), and if the attacking Pokemon has Misty in its name, the attack does 20 more damage to the Defending Pokemon.”
Misty Among the 30 Classic Collection Cards
The official page describes the block as 30 cards that symbolise the game’s history, each shown with its original product and year. Misty’s illustrator credit on 138/103 is Ken Sugimori, the same credit Limitless lists on Gym Heroes #18. The next number, 139, is Erika’s Jigglypuff, captioned with the 1998 Gym expansion “Leaders’ Stadium”: Erika’s Jigglypuff 139/103 has its own guide. See our 30th Anniversary reprints list for the 136–165 range.
