Black Kyurem ex has seven Japanese prints across two card generations: six rows in the official Pokémon Card Game database on pokemon-card.com as printed on September 30, 2026, plus the Freeze Bolt SR 062/059, which the database does not list and Bulbapedia does. Three rows are the older Black Kyurem EX (180 HP) and three are the newer Black Kyurem ex (230 HP).
The older prints cluster in the Black & White expansion Freeze Bolt (BW6), a Battle Strength Deck and EX Battle Boost; the newer ones sit in Paradise Dragona (SV7a) and a start deck. The Freeze Bolt SR 062/059 has no priced listing at the time of this update, and its dated SNKRDUNK ask is below; the other six prints follow with their English pairings.
We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.

Every Japanese Black Kyurem ex Print
The table lists every Japanese Black Kyurem EX and ex print, oldest first. Six rows come from the official database; the Freeze Bolt SR is marked as Bulbapedia-only. The English column is Bulbapedia’s print map.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BW6-Bf 045/059 | Black Kyurem EX | R | Eske Yoshinob | Boundaries Crossed 101/149 | Not listed |

One number needs a note. The database numbers the EX Battle Boost print 084/093, and Limitless groups it with Legendary Treasures #100; Bulbapedia’s Black Kyurem-EX card page lists that pairing as 085/093. The table uses the database number.
Freeze Bolt (BW6): The R and the SR
Freeze Bolt (BW6) is the expansion behind the two Freeze Bolt prints. Bulbapedia’s Boundaries Crossed page dates Freeze Bolt and its companion Cold Flare to July 13, 2012 in Japan and counts 130 Japanese cards across the two (a count that includes secret rares); it dates the English Boundaries Crossed to November 7, 2012.
Black Kyurem EX R 045/059 (BW6-Bf)
The regular EX carries 180 HP and an Eske Yoshinob credit in the database. Bulbapedia pairs it with Boundaries Crossed 101/149; Limitless credits Boundaries Crossed #101, Legendary Treasures #100 and Black & White Promos #62 to Eske Yoshinob, matching this credit.
Black Kyurem EX SR 062/059 (BW6)
The official database does not list this print. Bulbapedia records it as the SR of Freeze Bolt, numbered 062/059, paired with Boundaries Crossed 145/149 (Rare Ultra) and credited to 5ban Graphics as a full-art print. The card is a Basic Dragon Pokémon with 180 HP, Dragon weakness and a retreat cost of three, per Bulbapedia. Its attacks are Dragon Fang (りゅうのキバ, one Lightning and two Colorless, 60 damage, a coin flip for Paralysis) and Freeze Shock (フリーズボルト, one Water, two Lightning and one Colorless, 150 damage, and the Pokémon cannot attack during its next turn).
There is no priced listing for the 1st Edition print at the time of this update; sourcing requests go through Commande rapide. Limitless lists Boundaries Crossed #145 as Ultra Rare with a 5ban Graphics credit and groups it with the Freeze Bolt prints.
Battle Strength Deck and EX Battle Boost Prints
Two older prints come from a Battle Strength Deck (BKB) and EX Battle Boost (BW10-B).
Black Kyurem EX 008/018 (Battle Strength Deck)
The database lists this card with no product name, no rarity icon and a credit to Shizurow. Bulbapedia pairs it with Plasma Storm 95/135, and Limitless credits Plasma Storm #95 to Shizurow, matching this credit.
Black Kyurem EX 084/093 (EX Battle Boost)
The database lists this card with no product name and no rarity icon, credited to Eske Yoshinob and 180 HP. Limitless groups it with Legendary Treasures #100, which it credits to the same illustrator.
Paradise Dragona (SV7a) and the Start Deck: Black Kyurem ex
Paradise Dragona (SV7a) is the enhanced expansion behind the two newer expansion prints. Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026) gives September 13, 2024 as the release date and 64 cards in the main set, and describes the set as one third of Surging Sparks. Our guides are Paradise Dragona (SV7a) Complete Liste des cartes and Paradise Dragona Pull Rates, Best Cards & Box Value. All three Black Kyurem ex prints in this section list 230 HP. The Paradise Dragona booster box is listed in the Sealed option at ¥14,718 (~$96) (No Shrink option ¥13,512 (~$88)).
Black Kyurem ex RR 011/064 (SV7a)
The RR is credited to kawayoo. Bulbapedia pairs it with Surging Sparks 048/191 (Double Rare), and Limitless credits Surging Sparks #48 to kawayoo.
Black Kyurem ex SR 077/064 (SV7a)
The SR is numbered 077/064 and credited to N-DESIGN Inc. Bulbapedia pairs it with Surging Sparks 218/191 (Ultra Rare), which Limitless also credits to N-DESIGN Inc.
Black Kyurem ex 204/742 (Start Deck 100 Battle Collection)
The database lists this card in スタートデッキ100 バトルコレクション with no rarity icon and a kawayoo credit. The denominator 742 belongs to the product, and the MEGA Start Deck 100 Battle Collection is listed at ¥1,218 (~$8). Limitless groups it with the two Paradise Dragona prints.

How can I tell Black Kyurem EX from Black Kyurem ex?
Check the name line and HP. The database spells EX with a capital and 180 HP on the Black & White-era rows (BW6-Bf, BKB, BW10-B), and ex in lowercase with 230 HP on the SV7a and start-deck rows. The number and set mark then name the print.

Which English Black Kyurem card shares the N-DESIGN Inc. credit?
Limitless credits Surging Sparks #218, labelled Ultra Rare, to N-DESIGN Inc., matching SV7a 077/064, and Bulbapedia pairs the two. Surging Sparks #48 credits kawayoo, matching SV7a 011/064 and MC 204/742. Limitless labels #48 Double Rare; only the illustrator credit is stated as matching.
