Noivern Pokemon Card Guide: The SV2D Clay Burst ex Pair & Every Japanese Print

The Japanese Noivern Cards Verified in This Guide

A Limitless TCG search for pokemon:noivern returns 23 Japanese prints across CP4, M2a, MC, S12, S7D, SI, SM11, SM3H, SM6, SM8b, SNPo, SV2D, SV4a, SV9, SVM, XY3 and XYP. This guide covers five of them in verified detail, the ones we can confirm card number, rarity, illustrator and HP for from Limitless’s own card pages:

Two things stand out. First, the two SV2D cards are both “Noivern ex” — the only ex-typed prints among the five — and both share the same 260 HP line despite one being a Double Rare and the other a Secret Rare. Second, the other three prints span three different eras entirely: a 2014 XY-era Rare, a modern Scarlet & Violet Uncommon, and a 2025–26 M-series print, none of them typed as ex.

The SV2D Clay Burst ex Pair: Double Rare 58/71 and Secret Rare 89/71

Clay Burst (SV2D) released in Japan on April 14, 2023, with a 99-card total — a 71-card base set plus a 28-card secret print run that includes 12 Art Rares. Noivern ex sits in the set twice, at opposite ends of that structure: the Double Rare at 58/71, illustrated by Nisota Niso, sits inside the main 71-card base run, while the Secret Rare at 89/71, illustrated by Eske Yoshinob, is numbered into the 28-card secret run above the base total. Both share the same attack line and the same 260 HP — the difference between them is entirely the print treatment and where each sits in the set’s numbering, not the card’s stats.

Clay Burst became a notable day-one sellout in Japan, driven in large part by demand for the set’s Iono Special Art Rare — a spike that pulled buyers toward the rest of the set’s rare slots as well, the Noivern ex pair included. For the full 99-card breakdown, see our Clay Burst SV2D card list.

The two Noivern ex prints map to different English cards, not the same one: the Double Rare (58/71) corresponds to Paldea Evolved (PAL), card #153, while the Secret Rare (89/71) corresponds to a separate full-art print, Paldea Evolved (PAL), card #246. If you’re cross-referencing the English side of this set, our Paldea Evolved Japanese card list and Paldea Evolved chase cards guide cover how the two versions line up.

Chase Prints and What Makes Them Collectible

Of the five prints in this guide, the SV2D pair is the one built to be chased, and the set’s own numbering explains why. Clay Burst’s 71-card base run holds the Double Rare at 58/71 — a tier above a standard Rare, but still inside the set’s regular numbered sequence. The Secret Rare at 89/71 sits eighteen numbers past that base total, placing it inside the 28-card secret print run alongside the set’s 12 Art Rares — the block of cards Japanese Scarlet & Violet-era sets number above the printed set size to mark them as the set’s top chase slots.

That’s the pattern worth knowing when you’re comparing any two SV-era Japanese prints of the same card: a number that runs past the set’s printed total (the “/71” in this case) is the tell that you’re holding a secret-rarity print rather than a standard one, regardless of what the card’s name or attack text looks like.
