Rika is one of four Elite Four supporters that came out of Paldea — her card looks four cards deep into your own deck and lets you keep the two you actually want. That’s a strong effect on paper, and it’s part of why her Raging Surf prints keep coming up in searches for Japanese Scarlet & Violet-era supporters.
This guide covers every current Japanese print of Rika (チリ), where each one comes from, and how to source them — through sealed Raging Surf product or as a Quick Order request. We deal in Japanese sealed product and singles sourcing out of Tokyo, so the set and print details here reflect what we track for this specific card family.
If you’ve searched for “Rika Pokemon card” and landed on a mix of English-set listings and Japanese scans without a clear sense of which print is which, that’s the gap this guide is meant to close. There are four distinct Japanese prints, they come from two different products, and two of them — the Secret Rare and the Special Art Rare — are easy to mix up despite being separate illustrations.
Rika has four confirmed Japanese prints — a standard Uncommon, a Secret Rare, a Special Art Rare, and a Promo — with the U, SR, and SAR all coming from the same September 2023 set, Raging Surf (SV3a). All three come from that set — sealed SV3A-Raging Surf Booster Boxes, currently listed at ¥12,480, are the direct route to chasing them. We don’t hold Rika singles in stock — specific prints and grades are sourced through Pesan Cepat.
This guide covers Japanese-language prints only. Set and print details are sourced from Limitless TCG’s English and Japanese card databases, cross-checked against Japanese set pages, as of August 2026.
Every Rika Print and Where It’s From
Four confirmed Japanese prints of Rika, spanning one main set and one promo:
| Kartu | Number | Rarity | Set | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rika | SV3a 060/062 | U | Raging Surf | 2023 |
| Rika | SV3a 083/062 | SR | Raging Surf | 2023 |
| Rika | SV3a 088/062 | SAR | Raging Surf | 2023 |
| Rika | SVP 128 | Promo | SV Promotion Cards | — |
Three of the four prints — the Uncommon, the Secret Rare, and the Special Art Rare — all come from the same set, Raging Surf, released September 22, 2023. That makes Raging Surf the single most direct route to Rika if you’re after any of her mainline prints. The fourth print is a standalone promo card outside the booster line. A Rika reprint also appears in the Generations starter deck (SVM 158), which we treat as a footnote rather than a separate chase print here.
Raging Surf: The Set Behind the Trio
Raging Surf (SV3a) is a Scarlet & Violet-era expansion that released in Japan on September 22, 2023, sitting in the same period as the game’s Paldea-region storyline. It’s the set that introduced Rika’s Uncommon, Secret Rare, and Special Art Rare together, alongside the rest of that release’s supporting cast of Trainer cards and Pokemon.
Because all three of those Rika prints come from the same set, Raging Surf functions as a single supply line for anyone trying to complete the trio — there’s no need to track down three different products. That’s also why sealed Raging Surf boxes are the CTA we point to throughout this guide rather than individual singles, which we don’t hold in stock.
For collectors building out the set rather than chasing Rika alone, Raging Surf is worth knowing on its own terms — it’s a full booster release with its own roster of Pokemon, Trainers, and rarity tiers beyond the Elite Four supporters. Our Raging Surf card list guide maps the rest of that set if you’re deciding whether to open a box for more than one target card.
What Rika’s Card Actually Does
Rika is a Supporter card. Her effect: look at the top 4 cards of your deck, put 2 of them into your hand, and put the rest at the bottom of your deck in any order. It’s a selective dig rather than a straight draw — you see four cards and choose which two matter, then bury the rest instead of leaving them on top.
In-game, that makes her a consistency piece for decks that want to find a specific combination of cards — an Energy plus a key Pokemon, or two pieces of a combo — rather than just drawing more cards in general. Rika’s card-selection angle is what sets her effect apart from generic draw support: a selective dig for a specific combination rather than raw card advantage.
The trade-off is built into the design: you’re guaranteed to find something useful within your next four cards, but you’re also committing to burying whatever you don’t pick at the bottom of the deck instead of leaving it on top for a later draw. That makes her strongest in decks with a clear target — you know what you’re digging for, and Rika gets you there in one Supporter play instead of several turns of incremental draw.
The Raging Surf Trio: U, SR, and SAR
The Uncommon (060/062), illustrated by GIDORA, is the standard version you’ll pull most often out of a Raging Surf box — the everyday playable copy of the card.
The Secret Rare (083/062) shares the same GIDORA artwork in a full-art secret-rare treatment. Limitless TCG’s own rarity label for this print is “Secret Rare,” which lines up with how the Japanese market shorthands it as SR.
The Special Art Rare (088/062) is a separate illustration by kantaro — a distinct alternate-art take rather than a foil variant of the same GIDORA artwork. This is the SAR print, distinct from the Secret Rare covered above.
The SR and SAR aren’t the same artwork in different finishes — the SR (083/062) uses GIDORA’s standard-pose art in a full-art frame, while the SAR (088/062) is a completely separate kantaro illustration. Check the artwork itself, not just the rarity stamp, before assuming you know which one you have.
All three of these prints come from the same set, so the Raging Surf card list guide covers where Rika sits alongside the rest of the set’s chase cards.
The Promo Print
Outside the Raging Surf booster line, Rika also has a promo print numbered SVP 128, part of Japan’s ongoing Scarlet & Violet promo card series. It carries GIDORA’s artwork — the same illustrator as the Raging Surf Uncommon, though we haven’t confirmed whether it’s an identical pose or a variant. The specific distribution event or product this promo came bundled with isn’t confirmed in our sourcing, so we’re not going to guess at how it was distributed.
Because promo cards typically move outside the booster-box supply chain, this print isn’t something you’ll pull from a Raging Surf box — it has to be sourced as an individual card. There’s also a separate Rika reprint in the Generations starter deck (SVM 158), which follows the same pattern — a starter-deck product rather than a booster pull, and one we treat as a footnote print here since we haven’t independently verified its rarity or artwork details.
Promo and starter-deck prints like SVP 128 and SVM 158 don’t come out of Raging Surf boxes. If either of those specific prints is what you’re after, that’s exactly the kind of request Quick Order is built for — sealed boosters won’t get you there.
Sourcing Rika Through Raging Surf
We don’t hold Rika singles in stock. For the Uncommon, Secret Rare, and Special Art Rare, sealed Raging Surf boxes are the direct route — all three prints come from the same set.
For the SVP 128 promo, or if you’re after a specific print, condition, or grade from the Raging Surf trio, Pesan Cepat is the way we handle sourcing requests — submit what you’re looking for and we’ll work the request from Tokyo. That’s the same path whether you want a single Uncommon copy to complete a playset or you’re specifically after the kantaro Special Art Rare.
Where to Buy Japanese Rika Cards
We ship Japanese sealed product worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery, and handle single-card sourcing requests through Quick Order. For Rika specifically, sealed Raging Surf booster boxes are the direct route to the Uncommon, Secret Rare, and Special Art Rare, while the SVP promo print and any graded copies are best requested through Pesan Cepat.
For more on the wider Scarlet & Violet era, see our Scarlet & Violet era Japanese Pokemon guide, and if you collect graded singles across sets, our PSA 10 trainer cards guide covers graded Japanese supporter and trainer cards. For another Paldea-era supporter, see our Shauntal Pokemon cards guide.
Whichever route you take — sealed boxes for the Raging Surf trio, or a sourcing request for the promo — the same Tokyo shipping and tracking applies to every order.
