Salamence ex closes out 30th CELEBRATION’s SAR block at the highest number in the tier: 133/103. It’s a Dragon-type attacker with no listed Weakness or Resistance at all — unusual in a set built almost entirely around type match-ups — and it was one of the cards PokeBeach revealed on 4 September 2026, ahead of the full set-list publication five days later.
Here’s what’s confirmed about Salamence ex 133/103: its numbering and status inside the SAR block, the attack text it shares with the regular 088/103 print, and what comparable graded Salamence prints are currently listed at. Samurai Sword Tokyo ships Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo, and every price below is dated and sourced — not a guess about an unreleased card.
Salamence ex carries the SAR (Special Art Rare) treatment at 133/103 in M6a 30th CELEBRATION, the highest-numbered card in the ten-card SAR tier and one of seven already revealed via official images. The regular Salamence ex print is 088/103, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Its Japanese SAR counterpart from Battle Partners (SV9) is currently listed in our PSA10 collection: PSA10 Salamence ex SAR (SV9 129/100) at ¥10,709 (~$70).
Prices checked September 2026. Yen figures convert at ¥154/USD. Every figure attached to an M6a 30th CELEBRATION card in this guide is either an official set-list fact or a current live listing price — the set has not released, and Pokémon has not published pull rates or a real secondary-market sale for any 30th CELEBRATION single.
What Is Salamence ex SAR 133/103?
The official card list for 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) was published on 9 September 2026 and covers the main set 001–103, the Classic Collection 136–165 and the eight Basic Energy. Salamence ex’s regular print, 088/103, is inside that officially listed main set. Its SAR, 133/103, is not — the AR/SAR/FUR block spanning 104–135 is compiled from official promotional images and PokeBeach’s set-list article, and Salamence ex was one of the AR/SAR cards PokeBeach’s 4 September 2026 coverage revealed, ahead of the 9 September full-list publication.
As with every AR/SAR/FUR card in this set, the SAR illustrator is not published — only the regular 088/103 print carries a credited illustrator (5ban Graphics, per the official database).
Card Details: Attacks and Stats
Salamence ex SAR 133/103 shares its full attack text with the regular 088/103 print, per PokeBeach’s 9 September 2026 translation of the official card list:
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card number | 133/103 (SAR); regular print 088/103 |
| Type | Dragon |
| HP | 330 |
| Stage | Stage 2, evolves from Shelgon |
| Attack 1 | [C] Booming Call — put up to 3 Dragon Pokémon from your discard pile onto your Bench |
| Attack 2 | [R][W] Dragon Pulse — 240 damage, discard the top 2 cards of your deck |
| Weakness | none |
| Resistance | none |
| Retreat cost | 2 |
At 330 HP, Salamence ex is one of the tankiest attackers in the set, and Dragon Pulse’s 240 damage is enough to knock out most non-ex Pokémon in one hit for just two Energy types. Booming Call also lets a Dragon-heavy deck refill its Bench from the discard pile, which matters because Salamence ex is a Stage 2 — it needs Bagon and Shelgon in play first.
Where Salamence ex Sits in the SAR Block
30th CELEBRATION’s SAR tier runs 124–133, one card per each of the set’s ten Pokémon ex — and Salamence ex, at 133, is the highest number in that block. Seven SAR cards are shown as of 11 September 2026; three (128 Mewtwo ex, 129 Mew ex, 131 Gengar ex) are expected but not yet shown anywhere.
| N. | Carta | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 124 | Fuecoco ex | shown |
| 125 | Greninja ex | shown |
| 126 | Pikachu ex (day) | shown |
| 127 | Pikachu ex (night) | shown |
| 128 | Mewtwo ex | expected, not yet shown |
| 129 | Mew ex | expected, not yet shown |
| 130 | Sylveon ex | shown |
| 131 | Gengar ex | expected, not yet shown |
| 132 | Jirachi ex | shown |
| 133 | Salamence ex | shown |
The wider secret-rare run also includes 20 AR cards (104–123) and two FUR cards (134–135, Mewtwo ex and Mew ex, both by YOSHIROTTEN). For the full numbering logic across every block, see our 30th CELEBRATION secret-rare numbering guide.
The No-Weakness Attacker
Salamence ex is notable within this main set for having neither a Weakness nor a Resistance listed — most Pokémon ex in 30th CELEBRATION carry at least a Weakness that doubles incoming damage from a specific type. That makes Salamence ex more consistent to keep on the field across different match-ups, though it doesn’t change what’s on the card itself: same stats and text apply to both the regular 088/103 print and the SAR 133/103, rarity aside.
The only difference between the two printings is presentational: the SAR trades the regular print’s standard card-frame artwork for a full-bleed illustration extending past the card’s usual borders. Either copy plays identically in a constructed deck.
What Graded Salamence Prints Are Listed At Today
M6a hasn’t released, so there’s no real sale or graded population to cite for Salamence ex 133/103 yet. Our own PSA10 collection currently lists graded Salamence prints, both from the Japanese SV9 Battle Partners set:
Separately, SNKRDUNK — a Japanese resale marketplace — showed a lowest live asking price of ¥4,000 for that same SV9 129/100 SAR (49 listings) and ¥1,000 for the SR (11 listings) as of 11 September 2026. Asking prices are seller listings, not sales, and none of that data tells you anything about 133/103’s price after the set releases — it’s a different card from a different set, and there’s no comparable data for an unreleased Japanese secret rare.
