Zekrom ex, numbered 174/086, is the highest-numbered Zekrom ex print in SV11B, the Japanese expansion pack “Black Bolt.” The official card database lists it under the BWR rarity — a rarity label the card face itself prints, though the database gives no explanation of what the letters stand for.
This guide covers what the official database states about the card’s stats and attacks, how it compares to the set’s other Zekrom ex prints, and a Reshiram ex PSA10 we also list; the PSA 10 graded Zekrom ex itself is sold out at the time of this update.
Zekrom ex 174/086 is a Lightning-type Basic Pokémon with 230 HP, illustrated by takuyoa, from SV11B “Black Bolt” (released June 6, 2025). Its rarity is BWR — the card face prints this label, but the official database does not spell out what it stands for. A PSA 10 graded copy is sold out at the time of this update — sourcing requests go through Quick Order. The lowest raw asking price on SNKRDUNK on September 18, 2026 was ¥39,500.

What Is Zekrom ex 174/086?
The official Japanese card database lists this card as ゼクロムex, numbered 174/086, illustrated by takuyoa, from the expansion pack 拡張パック「ブラックボルト」 (SV11B). The card’s own product page states a release date of Friday, June 6, 2025, a recommended retail price of ¥290 (tax included) per pack, and 7 cards per pack.
The card’s own artwork renders Zekrom in monochrome black-and-silver line work — an observation of the image itself, not text printed on the database page. The database’s rarity icon for this print is labelled “BWR,” matching the rarity text printed on the card face, though the database does not define what the letters stand for; treat “BWR” strictly as the printed rarity label rather than an official expansion. Reading the card image directly, the regulation mark is I and the copyright line reads ©2025.

- [L][L][C] Voltage Burst 130+ — This attack does 50 more damage for each Prize card your opponent has already taken. This Pokémon also does 30 damage to itself.
This card’s special rule: when Zekrom ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Other Zekrom ex Prints in SV11B Black Bolt
The official database lists six ゼクロムex entries in total; the older BW-era ゼクロムEX (capital EX) prints — BWP 159/BW-P, BKZ 009/018, and BW10-B 044/093 — are a different card that the database lists separately. Within SV11B Black Bolt alone, the same Zekrom ex character appears across four rarities:
| Number | Rarity | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|
| 037/086 | RR | takuyoa |
| 161/086 | SR | takuyoa |
| 169/086 | SAR | danciao |
| 174/086 | BWR | takuyoa (this card) |
The 174/086 BWR print is the highest-numbered Zekrom ex in the set, and it shares its illustrator, takuyoa, with the RR and SR prints — only the SAR at 169/086 uses a different artist, danciao. Beyond SV11B, the database also lists this same Zekrom ex at M2a 051/193 RR (high-class pack “MEGA Dream ex,” takuyoa) and MC 259/742 (Start Deck 100 Battle Collection, takuyoa).
For a collector deciding which of the four SV11B rarities to pursue, the database gives no basis for ranking them against each other — it records numbering, illustrator, and rarity icon, not a value order. What it does make clear is that takuyoa illustrated three of the four prints, with only the SAR breaking from that pattern, which is a useful fact if you are trying to build a set around a specific artist’s work rather than a specific rarity tier.
A Reshiram ex Comparable
PSA10 Reshiram ex 168/086 SAR, currently listed at ¥28,038 (~$182), is also available on our site.
Zekrom and Reshiram also appear together on a separate TAG TEAM card, Reshiram & Zekrom-GX, from an earlier set — see our Reshiram & Zekrom-GX SR 064/049 card guide for that separate card’s details.
That TAG TEAM card is a separate, older print — it is not part of SV11B Black Bolt, and it is not the same card as Zekrom ex 174/086. It is sold out at the time of writing. For a wider look at Zekrom prints across sets, see our Zekrom cards guide and our Reshiram cards guide.
