Serena appears on two different Japanese Supporter cards from the same 2022 set — not two eras, not two names, just two rarities of the same print run sitting a handful of numbers apart.
Serena is the character from the XY-era Pokemon anime, and her card appears in the Japanese expansion pack Incandescent Arcana (S11a) at two separate numbers: 081/068, labelled SR on our listing, and 089/068, labelled HR. Both were illustrated by Megumi Mizutani. This guide covers what each print is, what the card does, how the “past-068” numbering works, and where the Japanese and English markets actually connect — and where they don’t.
Serena has two confirmed Japanese prints from Incandescent Arcana (S11a): PSA 10 Serena SR 081/068, currently listed at ¥23,078 (~$145), and PSA 10 Serena HR 089/068, currently listed at ¥18,251 (~$115). Both come from a set whose sealed booster box is currently listed at ¥12,740 (~$80). The “081/068” and “089/068” numbering — higher than the set’s own “/068” count — is a standard Japanese secret-rare convention, not a printing error.
Prices are our own listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
Serena SR: The 081/068 Incandescent Arcana Print
The first print is Serena, card 081/068, labelled SR on our own listing, from the Japanese expansion pack Incandescent Arcana (S11a), officially released 2 September 2022. The illustration is credited to Megumi Mizutani.
Limitless’s own card database groups this print under its “Secret Rare” filter bucket — a catalogue category the database uses for sorting, rather than the literal rarity text printed on the card itself. We use our store’s SR label as the primary rarity term for this print throughout the guide.
A PSA 10 copy of this print is currently listed at ¥23,078 (~$145).
Serena HR: The 089/068 Incandescent Arcana Print
The second print is Serena, card 089/068, labelled HR on our listing, from the same set, the same release date, and the same illustrator, Megumi Mizutani. Limitless groups this specific print under its “Holo Rare” filter bucket — again a database category rather than printed rarity text.
Per Limitless’s card entry for this print, the effect lets you choose one of two options: discard up to three cards from your hand and draw until you have five, or switch one of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon V into the Active Spot. That gives the player a choice between refilling their hand or forcing a tempo swing, depending on the board state.
A PSA 10 copy of this print is currently listed at ¥18,251 (~$115).
Why Are Serena’s Card Numbers Above 068?
Incandescent Arcana (S11a) totals 94 cards, yet individual cards in the set — both Serena prints included — are numbered against a “/068” denominator. Numbers running past 068, like Serena’s 081 and 089, sit in the set’s higher-rarity block rather than reflecting a printing overrun or a listing mistake on our end. It’s the same convention that produces “above-the-set-count” numbering across Japanese TCG secret-rare tiers generally: the printed denominator marks the set’s base card count, and higher-rarity cards are numbered on top of it.
| Set | Card # | Rarity (our listing) | Illustrator | Our price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serena | Incandescent Arcana (S11a) | 081/068 | SR | Megumi Mizutani | ¥23,078 (~$145) |
| Serena | Incandescent Arcana (S11a) | 089/068 | HR | Megumi Mizutani | ¥18,251 (~$115) |
Both numbers, once you know the set they belong to, identify exactly which print you’re holding — there’s no ambiguity once you check the S11a set code alongside the card number.
Where SR and HR Sit in Japanese Rarity Tiers
Both Serena prints sit in Incandescent Arcana’s above-the-set-count numbering block, which is where Japanese sets place their higher-rarity Supporter and Trainer cards. Our own SR and HR labels track how the two prints are catalogued on our site. Limitless’s “Secret Rare” and “Holo Rare” filter buckets for 081/068 and 089/068 respectively describe the same two prints from its own database structure — not necessarily the literal Japanese rarity text printed on either card — so we lead with our own SR/HR terms and note the Limitless bucket names for reference.
For a broader view of where SR- and SAR-class Supporter prints sit across Japanese sets generally, our full-art SR/SAR trainer card guide and PSA 10 trainer card guide cover the wider rarity ladder in more depth than a single character card can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Serena on this Pokemon TCG card?
Serena is the character from the XY-era Pokemon anime, depicted here in a modern Japanese reprint set. Her card appears twice in Incandescent Arcana (S11a): as SR 081/068 and as HR 089/068.
What set is the Serena card from and when did it release?
Both prints are from Incandescent Arcana (S11a), a Japanese Pokemon expansion pack officially released on 2 September 2022, with 94 total cards.
What does the Serena card do?
Per Limitless’s card entry for the HR print (089/068), Serena lets you choose one of two effects: discard up to three cards from your hand and draw until you have five, or switch one of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon V into the Active Spot.
Why are Serena’s card numbers (081/068 and 089/068) higher than the set’s own count?
Incandescent Arcana totals 94 cards even though individual cards are numbered against a “/068” denominator. Numbers above 068, like Serena’s two prints, sit in the set’s higher-rarity block — a standard Japanese TCG numbering convention, not a printing error.
Is there an English-language version of the Incandescent Arcana Serena card?
We haven’t independently confirmed one. A Limitless summary for 081/068 surfaces cross-reference numbers to the English Silver Tempest set (#164, #193, #207), but these are reported figures that have not been re-verified, so treat them as unconfirmed. Incandescent Arcana itself is a distinct Japanese set from Silver Tempest — Silver Tempest compiles cards from several Japanese sources, of which Incandescent Arcana is only one.
Where can I buy a PSA 10 Serena card from Japan?
The SR (081/068) is currently listed at ¥23,078 (~$145) and the HR (089/068) at ¥18,251 (~$115), both shipped from Tokyo. The Incandescent Arcana sealed booster box, which contains both prints, is listed at ¥12,740 (~$80). Sourcing requests for anything else go through our Quick Order page.
