The 14 Cubone Japanese Pokemon cards in Limitless TCG’s database are each either Common rarity or a set, promo, or starter-deck card with no numbered rarity shown in that database.
The 14 prints span sets from the Black & White era through 2024’s Scarlet & Violet era. Cubone #104 is a Common in Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) — a Scarlet & Violet-era set centred on the original 151 Kanto Pokemon. Later Cubone entries include Stellar Miracle (SV7) #48 and Starter Decks Generations (SVM) #61 from 2024.
Limitless TCG’s Japanese database lists 14 Cubone prints across eras from Black & White to Scarlet & Violet, and each is either Common rarity or a set, promo, or starter-deck card with no numbered rarity shown. Cubone #104 (Common) is part of Pokémon Card 151, the set behind the SV2a Pokémon Card 151 Japanese Booster Box.

Cubone Japanese Pokemon Cards by Set
Limitless TCG’s Japanese database lists these 14 Cubone prints, grouped by set:
| Set (code) | # | Rarity / status | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) | 104 | Common | Main set |
| Stellar Miracle (SV7) | 48 | Common | Main set |
| Starter Decks Generations (SVM) | 61 | Unranked | Starter-deck exclusive |
| Rapid Strike Master (S5R) | 40 | Common | Main set |
| GG End (SM10a) | 19 | Common | Main set |
| Awakened Heroes (SM4S) | 28 | Common | Main set |
| Double Blaze (SM10) | 45 | Common | Main set |
| Brock & Misty Trainer Battle Decks (SMK) | 12 | Unranked | Deck-exclusive |
| GX Ultra Shiny (SM8b) | 53 | No numbered rarity shown | Set card |
| Sun and Moon Promotional Cards (SMP) | 254 | Unranked | Promo |
| Red Light Flash (XY8r) | 34 | Common | Main set |
| Dragon Blade (BW5n) | 24 | Common | Main set |
| EX x MEGA x BREAK Champion Pack (CP4) | 68 | Unranked | Specialty pack |
| Starter Decks 100 (SI) | 214 | Unranked | Starter-deck exclusive |
Two things are consistent across the whole table. First, every main-set appearance is a straight Common — no Cubone card has been printed at Double Rare, Triple Rare, Secret Rare, or any alternate-art tier in the database. Second, roughly half the list isn’t a main-set pull at all: it’s a starter-deck exclusive, a Trainer Battle Deck insert, or a promo card, none of which carry a numbered rarity in Limitless’s own listings.
Scarlet & Violet Era: Pokémon 151 and Stellar Miracle
The print most people looking at this guide actually want is Cubone #104 from Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a), released in Japan on June 16, 2023 as a 210-card set built entirely around reprinting the original Kanto Pokemon — Cubone included — with new Scarlet & Violet-era artwork. It’s a Common, sitting alongside the rest of the set’s non-chase Pokemon. For the full card-by-card breakdown of what else is in the set, see our Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) card list and our wider Pokémon 151 Japanese card list.
Cubone also appears at #48 in Stellar Miracle (SV7), again as a Common, and as an unranked starter-deck-exclusive card at #61 in Starter Decks Generations (SVM). Across the whole Scarlet & Violet era, then, Cubone shows up three times — two Commons in main sets and one starter-deck-only card — and none of the three carries a rarity above Common.
Sun & Moon Era: Six Cubone Prints
The Sun & Moon era carries the largest cluster: GG End (SM10a) #19, Awakened Heroes (SM4S) #28, and Double Blaze (SM10) #45 are all Commons in their respective main sets. Alongside those, Cubone appears as card #53 in GX Ultra Shiny (SM8b), with no numbered rarity shown by Limitless, and as a deck-exclusive card at #12 in the Brock & Misty Trainer Battle Decks (SMK). A promo-card printing at #254 in the Sun and Moon Promotional Cards (SMP) pool rounds the era out.
That’s six Cubone appearances tied to the Sun & Moon era alone (counting SMP as part of the same broader promotional era) — more than any other era in this guide — and every single one of them is either Common or unranked. If you’re trying to identify which Sun & Moon-era Cubone you’re holding, the set logo and card number identify the print.
Sword & Shield, XY, and Black & White Prints
The Sword & Shield era contributes one print: Cubone #40, a Common in Rapid Strike Master (S5R). Going further back, the XY era carries Cubone #34 in Red Light Flash (XY8r), and the Black & White era carries the oldest print in this guide, Cubone #24 in Dragon Blade (BW5n). Both of those are also straight Commons.
Three separate eras, three separate sets, and the same result every time: Common rarity, no exceptions. If you’re building a print-history collection of Cubone specifically, these three are the harder ones to track down simply because they’re older, not because they were printed at a scarcer rarity tier.
Specialty Packs: Champion Pack and Starter Decks 100
Two remaining prints don’t fit cleanly into a single mainline era. Cubone #68 appears in the EX x MEGA x BREAK Champion Pack (CP4), a specialty pack that bundles reprints across multiple past eras rather than launching alongside a single expansion, and Limitless doesn’t list a numbered rarity for it. Cubone #214 appears the same way in Starter Decks 100 (SI), another starter-deck-exclusive slot without a numbered rarity code.
Both of these sit in the same bucket as the deck-exclusive and promo cards covered above: they were never part of the main-set rarity ladder to begin with, so there’s no Common-vs-something-rarer comparison to make for either one.
Chase Prints and What Makes Them Collectible
In the Japanese rarity system, a chase print typically means Super Rare, Special Art Rare, Art Rare, or Ultra Rare — tiers built around alternate art, foil treatment, or a curated character slot rather than a plain illustration. Of the 14 Cubone prints in the database, none lands in one of those tiers. Every main-set appearance is a Common, and the remainder are unranked promo, deck-exclusive, or specialty-pack cards that were never assigned a numbered rarity at all.
For collectors, that makes Cubone an accessible print-history project — fourteen cards across five eras, none of them gated behind a scarce pull — rather than a hunt for one expensive card. For our own Pokémon 151 vs Shiny Treasure ex comparison, the Cubone Common is one small data point in a set built around volume reprints rather than chase hits.
