Entei PSA 10 searches for the XY-era card lead to one specific print: エンテイ XY 011/171, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, from the High Class Pack "The Best of XY". The official Pokemon Card Game database on pokemon-card.com lists it as a Basic Pokemon with 130 HP, and it is the Entei in our catalogue with a visible PSA 10 listing (database as printed on October 29, 2026).
This guide covers the card itself, the Arita credit, the card text rendered into English, how it relates to the Entei prints in the XY7 Bandit Ring set, and what we currently list. We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD and are approximate; we quote only our own listed prices.
- Entei XY 011/171 is credited to Mitsuhiro Arita, has 130 HP and carries the Ancient Trait Θ Double. The database holds two entries for it, with IDs 33563 and 33732.
- We currently list the PSA 10 at ¥41,088 (~$267).
- Arita also illustrated Entei XY7-B 015/081, with the same 130 HP and the same card text; the other XY7 Entei, 014/081, is credited to Naoki Saito.
What Entei XY 011/171 Is
The database page for エンテイ at XY 011/171 prints the values below. Both of its database entries show identical values, so the table covers either.
| Field | Official database value |
|---|---|
| Name | エンテイ |
| Number and set code | 011/171, XY |
| Stage | Basic (たね) |
| HP | 130 |
| Illustrator | Mitsuhiro Arita |
| Ancient Trait | 古代能力 Θ（シータ）ダブル |
| Database card IDs | 33563 and 33732 |
| Rarity letter | Not printed in the database |
| Our listing name | PSA10 Entei [XY 011/171] (High Class Pack "The Best of XY") |
The database does not print a rarity letter for this card, and our listing name does not state one either, so we do not name a rarity. The identifying facts are the number, the set name on our listing and the illustrator credit. The existing Entei cards guide and the Entei V PSA 10 guide cover the other Entei types; this page is about the XY print.
The Mitsuhiro Arita Credit
Mitsuhiro Arita has illustrated cards since the 1996 prototype era; our Mitsuhiro Arita Pokemon cards guide follows his career from the Base Set, where his credits include Charizard 4/102 and Pikachu 58/102, to later eras. That guide does not list an Entei among the cards it names, so the Entei credit here comes from the official database rather than from the guide.
The official database credits him with further beast cards beyond this Entei. The table lists the Entei, Raikou and Suicune prints that carry his name.
| Beast | Set and number | HP |
|---|---|---|
| エンテイ | XY 011/171 (two database entries) | 130 |
| エンテイ | XY7-B 015/081 | 130 |
| ライコウ | SM3p 033/072 | 120 |
| ライコウ | SMH 035/131 | 120 |
| ライコウ | SM8b 034/150 | 120 |
| スイクン | XY9-B 020/080 | 120 |
| スイクン | XYP 205/XY-P | 120 |
The Arita credit is the reason this Entei is searched for by name: collectors who follow an illustrator look for every card carrying his credit. That is a collecting reason, not a market statement, and we attach no price effect to it.
The Card Text, Rendered
The printed text of XY 011/171, rendered into English from the Japanese (rendering). Energy costs are shown as icons on the card and are not stated here.
| Printed name | Type | Effect, rendered |
|---|---|---|
| 古代能力 Θ（シータ）ダブル | Ancient Trait | This Pokemon can have up to 2 Pokemon Tools attached to it. |
| フレイムバリア | Attack | 30 damage. During your opponent’s next turn, damage done to this Pokemon by attacks is reduced by 30. |
| ヒートタックル | Attack | 130 damage. Flip a coin. If tails, this Pokemon also does 30 damage to itself. |
The English attack names are our renderings (roughly “Flame Barrier” and “Heat Tackle”), not official English names. The Ancient Trait is the notable line: it is a rule of this printing that lets one Entei carry two Tools. Nothing here says how the card performs in play, and we make no competitive claim about it.
The XY-Era Entei Prints Compared
The official database lists four distinct Entei numbers from the XY era, plus the duplicate entry for XY 011/171. Two of the four credit Arita and two credit Naoki Saito.
| Set and number | Illustrator | HP | Ancient Trait | Attacks, rendered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XY 011/171 (IDs 33563, 33732) | Mitsuhiro Arita | 130 | Θ Double | 30 with a damage reduction; 130 with a coin-flip recoil |
| XY7-B 015/081 (ID 30988) | Mitsuhiro Arita | 130 | Θ Double | Same two attacks as XY 011/171 |
| XY7-B 014/081 (ID 30987) | Naoki Saito | 120 | None shown | An Energy-acceleration attack; 20 plus 20 for each of the opponent’s Benched Pokemon |
| CP4 016/131 (ID 31881) | Naoki Saito | 120 | None shown | Same two attacks as XY7-B 014/081 |
The practical reading is that XY 011/171 shares its illustrator credit, HP and card text with XY7-B 015/081, while the other XY7 Entei and the CP4 print form a second pair credited to Saito. The XY7 set therefore has two Entei prints, 014/081 (Saito) and 015/081 (Arita), and either can be what a seller means by “the XY7 Entei”. Whether the XY 011/171 artwork is identical to the 015/081 artwork is not stated by the credit alone; compare the two images and the card numbers rather than assuming it. A deeper look at the XY7 pair is in our XY7 Bandit Ring Entei guide, and the Arita-only view is in Mitsuhiro Arita’s Entei cards.
The High Class Pack "The Best of XY"
Our listing places the card in the High Class Pack "The Best of XY". Our The Best of XY High Class Pack guide covers the product itself, including its contents; this article stays with the card, so it gives no release date or card count for the pack.
The set code on the database entry is simply XY, with the 171 in 011/171 as the printed set count. That is the number to check on a card in hand: a card that reads 011/171 belongs to this print, whereas a card that reads 015/081 or 014/081 is from the XY7 Bandit Ring set.
| If the card shows | It points to |
|---|---|
| 011/171 | The Best of XY print, credited to Mitsuhiro Arita |
| 015/081 | The XY7 Bandit Ring print credited to Mitsuhiro Arita |
| 014/081 | The XY7 Bandit Ring print credited to Naoki Saito |
| 016/131 | The CP4 print credited to Naoki Saito |
The PSA 10 We List
For a card whose appeal is its artwork, the slab is a way to keep that artwork protected and the condition on record. The slab photo on the product page shows the label wording, which is the thing to read before you buy.
The slab is the physical card the listing describes, so the number printed on the slab label is the first thing to match against 011/171. If you would rather have a different Entei, the table in the next section shows the others we carry, and sourcing requests for anything not listed go through Pesan Cepat.
Other Entei PSA 10 Listings (Different Cards)
Our catalogue also names other Entei cards that are not the XY print. They are listed here only so the names are not confused. These are PSA 10 back orders, sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.

|---|---|
| PSA10 Entei V SAR [s12a 213/172] (High Class Pack "VSTAR Universe") | PSA 10 back order at ¥15,525 (~$101) |

The V print has its own guide in Entei V PSA 10 in Japanese, and the wider Entei history is in the Entei, Raikou and Suicune card value guide. For the SM3p Entei GX prints, see our Entei GX guide.
How the Arita Entei Compares with Later Regular Entei Prints
If you are deciding between this card and a newer plain Entei, the database lets you compare them on the printed facts. The table sets XY 011/171 beside four later Basic Entei prints, using only the stats and illustrator credits in the database.
| Illustrator | HP | Defining text, rendered | |
|---|---|---|---|
| XY 011/171 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 130 | Ancient Trait Θ Double; 30-damage attack that reduces incoming damage by 30; 130-damage attack with coin-flip recoil |
| SM8 022/095 | kawayoo | 130 | Burn attack for 20; an attack that counts Energy among the top cards of both decks |
| SV3 016/108 | toriyufu | 130 | Ability that reduces damage from the opponent’s Active Pokemon’s attacks by 20; attack that scales with attached Energy |
| SV4a 028/190 | toriyufu | 130 | Same ability and attack as SV3 016/108 |
| M2a 020/193 | Kazumasa Yasukuni | 140 | An attack that adds 90 damage when you have 4 or more Energy in play |
Two things stand out from the comparison. First, the Arita print is the only one of the five with an Ancient Trait; the two SV prints carry an ability instead, and the M2a print has a single attack. Second, HP differs by only ten points across the five, so the stats are not what separates them. The things that do separate them are the illustrator credit, the set and the number.
None of these newer Entei cards is listed by us as a PSA 10 at the moment, so the comparison is about the cards, not about our prices. For a checklist of every regular Entei the database holds from 2023 to 2026, the regular Entei prints checklist is the place to start.
A short checklist before you buy a slabbed Entei
- Match the number. The slab label should show the 011/171 number, and the card name should be Entei without a V, GX or EX suffix.
- Match the set name. The listing names it "The Best of XY"; an Entei from XY7 Bandit Ring carries an 081 denominator instead.
- Read the grade. PSA 10 is the grade named on our listing; the label photo on the product page is the thing to read.
- Check the illustrator if it matters to you. The Arita credit is on 011/171 and on XY7-B 015/081; the other XY Entei prints in the database are credited to Naoki Saito.

Where Entei Sits in the October 2026 Trademark Reports
On October 29, 2026 fan sites reported a Japanese trademark filing for 「マグマの鼓動」, which collectors read as a possible Entei set; nothing is announced. Our Magma Heartbeat trademark guide (working English translation of マグマの鼓動; no official English name exists) explains what is confirmed and what is not, and the ex★ 2027 sets and trademarks round-up covers all four reported names.
