N’s Plan PSA 10 in Japanese means the Supporter Nの筋書き in Black Bolt (SV11B): the SAR 173/086 credited to REND and the SR 165/086 credited to hncl, two of the four prints in the official Pokémon Card Game database on pokemon-card.com as printed on October 7, 2026. The other two are the SV11B Uncommon 083/086 and the Start Deck 100 print 701/742.
Both prints we list are offered as PSA 10 back orders, and both have dated SNKRDUNK asks. The English name N’s Plan comes from the English cards Limitless TCG pairs with the Japanese prints; the database prints only the Japanese name.

What N’s Plan Is: The Database Row
Nの筋書き is a Trainer card, a Supporter (サポート) in the database’s terms; the database prints no HP or type for it. Both prints we list are from the expansion pack 「ブラックボルト」. Limitless TCG labels both with regulation mark I; the database page does not print the letter. The database prints the set code as SV11B.
| Database field | SAR 173/086 | SR 165/086 |
|---|---|---|
| Card name as printed | Nの筋書き | Nの筋書き |
| Set code and number | SV11B 173/086 | SV11B 165/086 |
| Rarity mark | SAR | SR |
| Illustrator | REND | hncl |
| Card type | Supporter (サポート) | Supporter (サポート) |
| Product | 拡張パック「ブラックボルト」 | 拡張パック「ブラックボルト」 |
| Release in Japan (Bulbapedia, as of September 15, 2026) | 2025-06-06 | 2025-06-06 |
Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions gives Black Bolt 86 cards in the main set and pairs it with the English Black Bolt & White Flare. The official Black Bolt product page lists ¥290 per pack and 7 cards per pack. Both prints are numbered above the printed 086 total: 165/086 and 173/086.
Every Japanese Nの筋書き Print
The official database lists four rows named Nの筋書き. The table orders the four by number within each product.
| Set · number | Rarity | Illustrator | Product (as the database prints it) | Release in Japan | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SV11B 083/086 | U | hncl | 拡張パック「ブラックボルト」 | 2025-06-06 | Not listed |
| SV11B 165/086 | SR | hncl | 拡張パック「ブラックボルト」 | 2025-06-06 | PSA 10 back order ¥7,796 (~$51) |
| SV11B 173/086 | SAR | REND | 拡張パック「ブラックボルト」 | 2025-06-06 | PSA 10 back order ¥16,911 (~$110) |
| MC 701/742 | Not given | hncl | スタートデッキ100 バトルコレクション | Not given | Not listed |
Three of the four rows credit hncl; only the SAR credits REND. The database does not state whether the three hncl prints share artwork.
Black Bolt (SV11B): U, SR and SAR
Black Bolt’s box is SV11B-Black Bolt Japanese Pokemon Booster Box, and the complete set list is in Black Bolt (SV11B) Complete Card List: All 174 Cards & Rarities. The buying angle is in SV11B-Black Bolt Booster Box Buying Guide.
N’s Plan U 083/086 (SV11B)
The Uncommon credits hncl. We do not list a PSA 10 of it.
N’s Plan SR 165/086 (SV11B)
The SR is numbered 165/086 and credits hncl, like the Uncommon; Limitless TCG labels the Japanese print Secret Rare. The PSA 10 is offered as a back order at ¥7,796 (~$51).
N’s Plan SAR 173/086 (SV11B)
The SAR is numbered 173/086 and credits REND, the one print of the four not credited to hncl; Limitless labels the Japanese print Special Art Rare. The PSA 10 is offered as a back order at ¥16,911 (~$110).
Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (MC) Print
Start Deck 100 Battle Collection (MC) carries the fourth row. The database lists the MC print without a release date.
N’s Plan 701/742 (MC)
The MC print shows no rarity icon in the database and credits hncl, the same credit as the SV11B Uncommon and SR. We do not list a PSA 10 of it.
English Counterparts: Black Bolt
Per Limitless TCG, as of October 7, 2026, the Japanese SAR and SR link to three English N’s Plan cards, all from Black Bolt (BLK), dated 18th July 2025 on Limitless, 172 cards. Limitless groups prints by card text, so the illustrator columns are the only art-related facts; a matching credit is not a statement that the artwork is identical.
| English card (Limitless) | English rarity label | Illustrator | Same credit as JP SAR 173/086 (REND) | Same credit as JP SR 165/086 (hncl) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black Bolt #83 | Uncommon | hncl | No | Yes |
| Black Bolt #163 | Ultra Rare | hncl | No | Yes |
| Black Bolt #170 | Special Art Rare | REND | Yes | No |
Limitless also lists the Japanese cards: SV11B #173 is labelled Special Art Rare and SV11B #165 Secret Rare there. Those are Limitless’s own labels; the database codes SAR and SR are used throughout. Because hncl also drew the Uncommon, a shared credit with the SR does not identify which English card matches it.
What a PSA 10 Means for These Prints
A PSA 10 is the top grade on PSA’s scale; the standard is explained in What Does PSA 10 Mean on a Pokemon Card?, and the Japanese label and service are covered in PSA Japan: Label, Service and What “Graded in Japan” Means.
PSA’s label details for these prints are not reproduced here; the slab photo on each back-order page shows a PSA label for the print.
Raw-condition points before grading are in Pokemon Card Condition Guide: Raw vs PSA 10 (Japanese Cards).
Dated Asks and Our PSA 10 Back Orders
The store prices are back-order prices: each PSA 10 is sourced to order, and the product page shows the current terms. The process is explained in Back Order a PSA 10 Card from Japan. The SNKRDUNK columns are asking prices as of October 7, 2026, not sales. “Raw” is the lowest ask on the ungraded product row.
| SNKRDUNK product as named there | Raw ask, Oct 7, 2026 | Lowest PSA 10 ask, Oct 7, 2026 | Our PSA 10 back order | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The ungraded figure is the lowest price on SNKRDUNK’s product row, shown as a reference only.

How to Tell the Four Prints Apart
All four rows carry the same card name, so the set code, the number and the illustrator decide.

| SV11B 165/086 | SR, hncl, Black Bolt |
| SV11B 173/086 | SAR, REND, Black Bolt |
| MC 701/742 | No rarity icon, hncl, Start Deck 100 Battle Collection |
| Number above the printed 086 total | SR 165/086 or SAR 173/086 |

When did Black Bolt (SV11B) release in Japan and in English?
Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions, as of September 15, 2026, gives June 6, 2025 for SV11B and pairs it with the English Black Bolt & White Flare. Limitless TCG dates the English Black Bolt set to 18th July 2025, 172 cards. The database lists the Start Deck 100 print without a release date.

The SAR 173/086 PSA 10 is offered as a back order at ¥16,911 (~$110) and the SR 165/086 at ¥7,796 (~$51). Back-order cards are sourced to order, and the product page shows the terms. Prices are as printed on the product pages on October 8, 2026.
How can I tell the SAR 173/086 from the SR 165/086?
Check the number and the illustrator. The SAR is SV11B 173/086, credited to REND; the SR is SV11B 165/086, credited to hncl. Both are Supporters from Black Bolt, numbered above the printed 086 total, so the number and the artist credit are the deciding details.

On October 7, 2026 the lowest PSA 10 listing ask on SNKRDUNK was ¥18,400 (~$119) for the SAR 173/086 and ¥7,888 (~$51) for the SR 165/086. The raw (ungraded) asks on the same rows were ¥4,200 (~$27) and ¥1,000 (~$6). They are asking prices, not sales.
Is N’s Plan a Pokémon card or a Trainer card?
It is a Trainer card, a Supporter (サポート) in the database. The database prints no HP or type for it. The database prints only the Japanese name Nの筋書き; the English name N’s Plan comes from the English cards that Limitless TCG pairs with the Japanese prints.
Which English N’s Plan card matches the Japanese SAR?
Per Limitless TCG on October 7, 2026, Black Bolt #170 is labelled Special Art Rare and credits REND, matching the Japanese SAR’s credit. Black Bolt #83 and #163 credit hncl, which matches the Japanese SR and Uncommon credits. A matching credit does not prove identical artwork.
