Iron Valiant is a „future“ Paradox Pokemon, and one of its Japanese cards is unusual in that its own attack text says so — a Cyber Judge printing that hits harder specifically when you’ve played a „future“ Supporter card that turn. That’s not the only wrinkle in this line. In the sets covered here, Iron Valiant picked up seven separate Japanese printings across two years and three sets, and the same ex card — identical Ability, identical attack — was illustrated as a Special Art Rare twice, fourteen months apart, by two different artists.
This guide runs through seven featured Japanese Iron Valiant prints: the four ex rarities from its Future Flash debut, the completely different non-ex version from Cyber Judge, and the second SAR reprint from Terastal Fest ex. It also covers our currently listed PSA 10 stock of the original Future Flash SAR. We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles out of Tokyo every week, and the pricing here reflects our own catalog.
Iron Valiant has seven Japanese printings across Future Flash (SV4M), Cyber Judge (SV5M), and Terastal Fest ex (SV8a), released between 2023 and 2024. Our PSA 10 Iron Valiant ex SAR (SV4M 089/066) is currently listed at ¥9,270 (~$57), and if you’re chasing the full SV4M rarity run, the Future Flash Booster Box is currently listed from ¥10,192 (~$63).
Prices reflect our own listed stock in Japanese yen, converted at ¥163/USD, as of August 2026.
Every Iron Valiant Card in This Guide
Seven prints across three sets, from the 2023 Future Flash debut to the 2024 Terastal Fest ex reprint:
| Karte | Number | Rarity | Set | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Valiant ex | SV4M 089/066 | SAR | Future Flash | 2023 |
| Iron Valiant ex | SV4M 038/066 | RR | Future Flash | 2023 |
| Iron Valiant ex | SV4M 080/066 | SR | Future Flash | 2023 |
| Iron Valiant ex | SV4M 093/066 | UR | Future Flash | 2023 |
| Iron Valiant | SV5M 035/071 | R | Cyber Judge | 2024 |
| Iron Valiant ex | SV8a 213/187 | SAR | Terastal Fest ex | 2024 |
| Iron Valiant ex | SV8a 074/187 | RR | Terastal Fest ex | 2024 |
Two patterns run through this list. First, four of the seven prints are the exact same card — same Ability, same attack — issued at four different rarity tiers within Future Flash alone. Second, that same ex card came back a year later in Terastal Fest ex with a brand-new SAR illustration, so „the Iron Valiant ex SAR“ isn’t a single answer — there are two of them. Cyber Judge’s non-ex Iron Valiant sits apart from both: different HP, different attacks, and no Ability at all.
The Launch Set: Four Rarities of the Same Iron Valiant ex
Iron Valiant’s Japanese debut came in the expansion pack Future Flash (SV4M), released October 27, 2023 — the set our PSA 10 stock comes from. All four ex printings share identical card text.

![Iron Valiant ex [SV4M 093/066] UR (Future Flash)](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/img_iron_sv4m_93_r_jp_9fc9ac8b9dbc-1.webp)
Iron Valiant ex is a Psychic-type, 220 HP Basic Pokemon ex. Its Ability, Tachyon Bit, triggers when this Pokemon moves from your Bench to the Active Spot: once, put 2 damage counters on 1 of your opponent’s Pokemon. Its attack, Laser Blade, does 200 damage but leaves the user unable to attack on your next turn. That text is identical across the RR (038/066), SR (080/066), UR (093/066), and the SAR covered below — only the illustration and rarity tier change. The regular RR print is credited to aky CG Works, who also illustrated the SR and UR; the SAR uses a separate illustration by kantaro.
With identical card text across four rarities, the only way to tell a Future Flash Iron Valiant ex apart is the card number in the corner and the illustration style — not the Ability or attack printed on the card.
The RR print in particular wasn’t just a collector’s copy — Tachyon Bit’s guaranteed bench-to-active damage made it a real tool, and it appeared in competitive decklists soon after Future Flash released.
Our Stock: PSA 10 Iron Valiant ex SAR, 089/066
![Iron Valiant ex [SV4M 089/066] SAR (Future Flash)](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/img_iron_sv4m_89_r_jp_3fe701be8de9-1.webp)
The Special Art Rare printing of Iron Valiant ex (SV4M 089/066) carries the same Tachyon Bit Ability and Laser Blade attack as the other three Future Flash rarities, set apart by kantaro’s Special Art illustration. This is the printing behind our own graded stock: a PSA 10 copy currently listed at ¥9,270 (~$57). It ships from Tokyo with tracked delivery.
A Different Card Entirely: Iron Valiant R from Cyber Judge
![Iron Valiant [SV5M 035/071] R (Cyber Judge)](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/img_iron_sv5m_35_r_jp_e1444e8d10ec-1.webp)
Cyber Judge (SV5M), released January 26, 2024, introduced a completely separate Iron Valiant — a Psychic-type, 130 HP non-ex Basic Pokemon at rarity R, illustrated by chibi. It carries no Ability. Its first attack, Enzan, does no damage and instead lets you look at the top 4 cards of your deck and rearrange them in any order. Its second attack, Majesty Sword, does 100 damage — and 100 more if you played a „future“-marked Supporter card from your hand and used its effect during that same turn.
That’s the detail worth knowing: Iron Valiant is one of the „future“ Paradox Pokemon introduced in the Scarlet & Violet era, and this Cyber Judge print is one of the few Iron Valiant cards whose own attack text directly references the „future“ card tag rather than just belonging to the archetype by name. Outside of that mechanic, this card has nothing in common with the ex line — different HP, different attacks, no Ability, and a standard R rarity rather than a Special Art or Ultra Rare treatment.
The Second SAR: Terastal Fest ex Reprint
![Iron Valiant ex [SV8a 213/187] SAR (Terastal Fest ex)](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/img_iron_sv8a_213_r_jp_d2cfaea5154c-1.webp)
Terastal Fest ex (SV8a), released December 6, 2024, brought Iron Valiant ex back with the same Tachyon Bit Ability and Laser Blade attack from Future Flash — but under a new Special Art illustration by danciao, at card number 213/187. The set also carries a standard reprint, Iron Valiant ex RR (074/187), for the non-Special-Art version of the same card.
That means two SAR illustrations of Iron Valiant ex exist about fourteen months apart: kantaro’s original from Future Flash (089/066, 2023) and danciao’s from Terastal Fest ex (213/187, 2024). Both carry identical Ability and attack text — the difference is purely the artwork and the set they come from. Our currently listed PSA 10 stock is the original 2023 kantaro SAR.
Pulling Iron Valiant ex From Sealed Product
The SAR, RR, SR, and UR rarities of Iron Valiant ex covered above all come out of the same product — Future Flash booster packs. Cyber Judge’s non-ex R and the Terastal Fest ex SAR/RR reprints are separate sets and aren’t part of a Future Flash box.
