Raikou ex SAR is the name collectors type for the ライコウex numbered 108/076 in Storm Emeralda (M6), one of three ライコウex entries the official Pokemon Card Game database lists for that set. The other two are 024/076 and 092/076. This guide puts the three side by side: the numbers, the illustrator credits (Oku on 108/076, aky CG Works on the other two), the card text rendered into English, and the one thing the database does not print for you, the rarity letter.
Everything about the cards comes from the database rows on pokemon-card.com, read on October 29, 2026. Every yen figure for our own products is the price listed on that date, converted at ¥154/USD (approximate).
- The official database lists three ライコウex prints in M6: 024/076, 092/076 and 108/076. All three show HP 200. Illustrator credits: aky CG Works on 024/076 and 092/076, Oku on 108/076.
- The card text on the three entries is the same. What separates them is the number, the illustrator credit and the database card ID, not an attack or an ability.
- The database prints no rarity. The labels SR 092/076 and SAR 108/076 are reported by Bulbapedia; our Legendary Beasts guide labels 024/076 as RR.
- The set’s booster box is currently listed at Sealed ¥8,926 (~$58) / No Shrink ¥8,853 (~$57).
The Three Raikou ex Prints in One Table
The official database lists three ライコウex cards, all in M6. Their fields are below, as the database prints them.
| Card | Illustrator | HP | Database card ID | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ライコウex M6 024/076 | aky CG Works | 200 | 50362 | Not printed; RR per our Legendary Beasts guide |
| ライコウex M6 092/076 | aky CG Works | 200 | 50533 | Not printed; reported as SR |
| ライコウex M6 108/076 | Oku | 200 | 50549 | Not printed; reported as SAR |
Two of the three numbers, 092 and 108, are larger than the set’s printed total of 76. That is how the database shows a secret-numbered print: the card exists in the set but is numbered past the main list. The database does not add a rarity letter to it, which is why the last column reads the way it does.
The image above is the 108/076 print, the card people mean when they write “Raikou ex SAR”. The 092/076 print is shown further down, next to the credit that links it to the regular 024/076.
What the Card Text Says, Rendered From the Japanese
All three database entries carry the same text. The rendering below is our English reading of the Japanese (rendering); it is not an official translation.
| Field | Japanese in the database | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Stage | たね | Basic Pokemon |
| HP | 200 | 200 |
| First attack | いかずちをまとう | Clad in Lightning (rendering): this attack can be used even on the first player’s first turn. Choose an Energy card from your deck, attach it to this Pokemon, then shuffle your deck. |
| Second attack | パワーラッシュ200 | Power Rush, 200 damage (rendering): flip a coin; if tails, this Pokemon cannot use attacks during your next turn. |
| Rule box | ポケモンexがきぜつしたとき、相手はサイドを2枚とる。 | When a Pokemon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. |
| Weakness / Resistance | 弱点 ×2 / 抵抗力 — | Weakness ×2 (type shown as an icon); Resistance none; the retreat cost is shown as icons and is not stated here |
The database text for 092/076 and 108/076 is the same in every line, so what is said here about 024/076 applies to the other two prints of this card, and to no other card. We do not generalise it to other ex cards of the era, and we make no claim about how the card plays in a deck.
One detail is worth reading twice. The first attack’s wording says it can be used on the first player’s first turn, a line that is written into the card itself rather than into a general rule. It is the kind of phrase that is easy to lose in a quick translation, which is why the table gives it in full.
Oku Versus aky CG Works: What the Credits Tell You
The database credits the regular 024/076 and the secret-numbered 092/076 to aky CG Works, and the secret-numbered 108/076 to Oku. That is a short sentence, but it carries two practical consequences.
- The illustrator credit does not separate 024/076 from 092/076. Both read aky CG Works. The shared credit cannot tell them apart, so if you are buying either one, read the number printed on the card and compare the image, not the artist line.
- The credit does separate 108/076 from the other two. A ライコウex with the credit Oku is the 108/076 print in this set, according to the database.
The database does not describe the artwork, and we do not describe it here beyond what the images show. If you are choosing between the prints by look, open the three official images side by side; the images carry the difference more clearly than a sentence could.
Comparing this image with the 108/076 above shows what a different credit on the same card text looks like. The attacks, the HP and the rule box do not change between them; the frame and the illustration do.
Why 092 and 108 Sit Above the Set’s 76
The set’s printed total is 76, yet the database shows prints numbered 92 and 108 for Raikou ex. 092/076 is 16 above the total and 108/076 is 32 above it. We do not have a card list for M6 in our sources that explains the full secret range, so we do not claim to know how many cards sit above 76. What our own listings show is that the range runs at least as far as 113: we list two other M6 cards by name with those numbers.
| Listing (as named by us) | Our price |
|---|---|
| PSA10 MEGA Rayquaza ex SAR [M6 110/076] (Expansion Pack “Storm Emeralda”) | Offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥72,895 (~$473) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms |
| PSA10 MEGA Rayquaza ex MUR [M6 113/076] (Expansion Pack “Storm Emeralda”) | Offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥225,177 (~$1,462) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms |
These are different cards from the Raikou ex prints, listed here only so the numbers above 76 have a concrete reference. They show that in this set a larger number than the printed total is normal for the special prints, and that the rarity letters appear in our listing names, not in the database.
The practical rule: a number higher than the second figure in the fraction means a secret-numbered print. Two of the three Raikou ex prints follow that rule.
SAR and SR: What Is Reported and What Is Not Printed
The official database does not print a rarity for any card. The letters used for these prints come from three different places, and it helps to keep them apart.
| Label | Where the label comes from | |
|---|---|---|
| 024/076 | RR | Our Legendary Beasts guide |
| 092/076 | SR | Reported by Bulbapedia; not printed in the database |
| 108/076 | SAR | Reported by Bulbapedia; not printed in the database |
This is why this guide often writes “the 108/076 print, numbered above the set’s 76” instead of repeating a letter as if the card printed it. The search term Raikou ex SAR is the one collectors use, and it is a fair way to find the card, but the database row for 108/076 holds the number, the credit and the text, and nothing else on rarity.
What is not known from our sources is just as plain: the print run of any of the three, the odds of opening one, and the price of a single copy. We do not publish an odds figure for any box, and we do not quote single-card market figures here.
The Set: Storm Emeralda (M6)
Storm Emeralda (ストームエメラルダ, set code M6) was released on Friday, July 31, 2026, according to the official product page, at an official price of ¥200 per pack. The three Raikou ex prints are among its cards, which is why the set’s listing page, our M6 card list, is the place to see them next to the rest of the set. Our longer overview of the set is the Storm Emeralda complete guide.
If you read our other Raikou pieces, the 024/076 print has its own page, Raikou ex 024/076 (Storm Emeralda) card guide, and the English set name collectors search when comparing is covered in Raikou ex 92/95 (Delta Reign) versus Japanese 024/076.
A box gives you the set; it does not give you a particular card. The odds of any one print are not published in the sources behind this article, so we put no number on the chance of opening the 092/076 or 108/076. If one of the three prints is what you want, the way to ask is through Quick Order, covered in the last section.
Other Raikou Cards That Are Not These Cards
Search results for “Raikou ex” mix several different cards. The table keeps them apart using the database rows.
| Card | Illustrator | HP | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| ライコウEX BW4-B 025/069 | shizurow | 170 | Upper-case EX, a different generation of the rule; its rule box says that when a Pokemon-EX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards |
| ライコウV S12a 218/172 | nagimiso | 200 | A V card, not an ex; numbered above the set’s 172 |
| ライコウV SI 137/414 | PLANETA Mochizuki | 200 | The database holds two entries printed with this number |
| ライコウ M6a 162/103 | Hideki Ishikawa | 110 | A regular Raikou, not an ex |
| ライコウ M1S 030/063 | Takumi Wada | 120 | A regular Raikou, not an ex |
The upper-case EX card can be confused with the ex cards in M6. Its attacks are かみなりのキバ30 (flip a coin; on heads the opponent’s Active Pokemon is Paralyzed, rendering) and ボルテージアロー, which discards all Energy from the Pokemon and does 100 damage to one of the opponent’s Pokemon (rendering). We list a PSA 10 of that generation under the name “PSA10 Raikou EX SR :1ED [BW4 071/069]”, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥148,720 (~$966) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The number 071/069 is the one in our listing name; the database rows we hold for the set show 025/069.
For the V cards, our Raikou V PSA 10 guide goes through the database rows. We list the S12a 218/172 print as “PSA10 Raikou V SAR[s12a 218/172]”, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥18,574 (~$121) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
The M6a 162/103 card is a reprint in the 30th CELEBRATION set; the story of that card is in our Raikou 162/103 guide. The wider history of the three legendary beasts is in the legendary beasts cards guide.
How to Identify the Print in Your Hand
Hold the card and read three things in this order: the name line, the number in the bottom corner, and the rule text. The table maps what you see to what it points to.
| What the card shows | Print it points to |
|---|---|
| ライコウex, number 024/076, set code M6 | The regular-numbered ex print, credited to aky CG Works |
| ライコウex, number 092/076, set code M6 | A secret-numbered print, credited to aky CG Works; reported as SR |
| ライコウex, number 108/076, set code M6 | A secret-numbered print, credited to Oku; reported as SAR |
| ライコウEX with a 170 HP line and the number 025/069 | The Dark Rush card, not Storm Emeralda |
| ライコウV | A V card from S12a or the Start Deck 100 set, not an ex |
If the card is graded, the label on the slab repeats the name and the number; check the number against the table before you trust the title on a listing page. Two prints credited to the same artist can differ only in that number.
Where This Fits With the Raikou Trademark Report
On October 29, 2026 fan sites reported a Japanese trademark filing for 「イナズマの衝撃」 (working English translation: Lightning Impact; no official English name exists), which collectors read as a possible Raikou set; nothing is announced. Our Lightning Impact trademark guide explains what is confirmed and what is not.
