Every headline chase card in Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown came from a single Japanese set. There was no second source set to check, no compilation puzzle to untangle — Stellar Crown is a direct 1:1 English version of Japan’s SV7 Stellar Miracle, released two months earlier on 19 July 2024.
This guide maps the seven chase cards collectors chase in the English set back to their exact Japanese print — set, number and rarity — and explains how the Japanese rarity names (AR, SAR, gold UR) line up with the English ones (Illustration Rare, Special Illustration Rare, Hyper Rare). For the full 135-entry Japanese catalogue with pricing, see our Stellar Crown Japanese card list — this article is a curated seven-card deep dive on the chase cards specifically, not the full set.
Stellar Crown’s chase cards all trace back to one Japanese set — SV7 Stellar Miracle, released 19 July 2024, with no secondary JP source set (per PokeBeach). Three golden Ultra Rares (Terapagos ex, Charm of Courage, Area Zero Underdepths) match SV7’s numbers 133–135, and four Special Illustration Rares (Hydrapple ex, Lacey, Kofu, Briar) match SV7’s Secret Rares at 115 and 124–126. The SV7 Stellar Miracle Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥10,192 (~$64) if you want to chase these pulls yourself. For the complete catalogue, see our Stellar Crown Japanese card list.

Which Japanese Set Stellar Crown Was Built From
Unlike compilation sets that pull chase cards from two or three separate Japanese releases, Stellar Crown has a single source.
| EN set | JP set code | JP name | JP release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scarlet & Violet—Stellar Crown | SV7 | Stellar Miracle | 19 July 2024 |
SV7 Stellar Miracle is an Expansion Pack carrying 135 catalogued entries, split across Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, Art Rare, Double Rare, Rare, Uncommon and Common tiers. Stellar Crown released in English on 13 September 2024, almost two months after the Japanese set — and per PokeBeach’s reporting, it’s an English version built on SV7 alone, not a blend of multiple Japanese releases the way some other Scarlet & Violet-era sets are.
One naming note before we go further: SV7 “Stellar Miracle” is not the same set as SV7a “Paradise Dragona” — that’s the Japanese source for a different English set, Surging Sparks. The “Stellar” name also overlaps coincidentally with S12a “VSTAR Universe”, an unrelated earlier set. Our SV7 vs SV7a box guide covers the distinction between the two “SV7” codes in detail.
Stellar Crown Chase Cards and Their Japanese Prints
SV7 runs two back-to-back “chase” bands late in its number sequence: a 12-card Secret Rare run from 115 to 126, and a 3-card gold Ultra Rare run closing the set at 133 to 135. Between them, seven of those cards are the ones English collectors know as Stellar Crown’s headline pulls.
Hydrapple ex — SV7 115, Secret Rare
Hydrapple ex sits at the very start of SV7’s 12-card Secret Rare run. In Stellar Crown, it’s printed as a Special Illustration Rare — the English name for the same alt-art treatment.
Lacey — SV7 124, Secret Rare
The Elite Four trainer Lacey is one of two supporter cards in the middle of SV7’s Secret Rare run, printed in Stellar Crown as a Special Illustration Rare.
Kofu — SV7 125, Secret Rare
Kofu sits directly ahead of Briar in SV7’s numbering and shares the same Special Illustration Rare treatment in the English set.
Briar — SV7 126, Secret Rare
Briar closes out SV7’s 12-card Secret Rare run at 126, the last of the four Secret Rares covered here that carried over into Stellar Crown as Special Illustration Rares.
Terapagos ex — SV7 133, Ultra Rare
Terapagos ex is the set’s cover Pokémon and opens SV7’s three-card gold Ultra Rare run. In Stellar Crown it carries the English set’s Hyper Rare designation.
Charm of Courage — SV7 134, Ultra Rare
Charm of Courage is the middle card of SV7’s gold Ultra Rare trio, printed as a Hyper Rare item card in the English set.
Area Zero Underdepths — SV7 135, Ultra Rare
Area Zero Underdepths closes SV7 at number 135, the last of the gold Ultra Rares and the final chase card on this list. It’s a stadium card in both languages, printed as a Hyper Rare in Stellar Crown.
| EN card (Stellar Crown) | EN rarity name | JP set + number | JP rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrapple ex | Special Illustration Rare | SV7 115 | Secret Rare |
| Lacey | Special Illustration Rare | SV7 124 | Secret Rare |
| Kofu | Special Illustration Rare | SV7 125 | Secret Rare |
| Briar | Special Illustration Rare | SV7 126 | Secret Rare |
| Terapagos ex | Hyper Rare | SV7 133 | Ultra Rare (gold) |
| Charm of Courage | Hyper Rare | SV7 134 | Ultra Rare (gold) |
| Area Zero Underdepths | Hyper Rare | SV7 135 | Ultra Rare (gold) |
Rarity Names: English vs Japanese
The Scarlet & Violet era uses a consistent naming convention between the two languages — once you know the pairing, you can translate any SV-era rarity name on sight.
| Japanese rarity | English equivalent |
|---|---|
| AR (Art Rare) | Illustration Rare |
| SAR (Special Art Rare) | Special Illustration Rare |
| UR (gold Ultra Rare) | Hyper Rare |
None of Stellar Crown’s seven chase cards in this guide are AR/Illustration Rare pairs — the four Secret Rares (SV7 115, 124–126) map to Special Illustration Rare, and the three gold Ultra Rares (SV7 133–135) map to Hyper Rare. Note that Japan’s “Secret Rare” as a rarity label and the English “Special Illustration Rare” name describe the same physical card here; SV7’s own internal category for those four cards is listed as Secret Rare, not SAR, in the set’s official rarity breakdown.
