Two Pikachu ex cards share the same 106-card Japanese set. One is a Special Art Rare that lists north of ¥120,000 in PSA 10. The other sits three digits away in the print run and is a different animal entirely. Mixing the two up is the easiest mistake to make when shopping for this card — and the fastest way to overpay or undersell.
This guide covers Pikachu ex 132/106 (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청), the full-art Special Art Rare (SAR) from Super Electric Breaker (SV8), released in Japan on 18 October 2024. We’ll walk through how to identify it, how it differs from its set-mate at 122/106, what its English-language counterpart is, and where our own PSA 10 graded copy currently stands on price.
We ship Japanese singles and sealed product out of Tokyo, and PSA 10 132/106 is one of the graded chase cards listed directly on our site — which is where the pricing in this guide comes from.
Pikachu ex 132/106 SAR (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청) is the full-art Special Art Rare from Super Electric Breaker (SV8), illustrated by GIDORA and released in Japan on 18 October 2024. Our PSA 10 graded copy is currently listed at ¥121,000 (~$761) (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청). It is not the same card as Pikachu ex 122/106 SR from the same set — always check the card number before buying.
Identifying Pikachu ex 132/106 SAR
Pikachu ex 132/106 is a Lightning-type card with 200 HP, the ability “がんばりハート” and the attack “トパーズボルト.” The card is printed as a full-art Special Art Rare (SAR), with GIDORA’s artwork running edge to edge behind the attack text box — the format Japanese sets use for their headline ex chase pulls.
The card number to check is printed bottom-right: 132/106. Because the total card count of the base set (106) is lower than the printed number, that alone tells you it’s a secret-rare-style pull rather than a standard-numbered card — a pattern common to SAR and SR prints across recent Japanese Scarlet & Violet-era sets.
Look for GIDORA’s signature illustration style, the wide black textured border framing the artwork, and the ex rule box in the top corner alongside the HP line. Together, these three details — card number, border style, and rule box — are enough to confirm you’re looking at the SAR rather than any other Pikachu print from the same or a neighbouring set.
Super Electric Breaker (SV8): The Set It Came From
Super Electric Breaker is the eighth mainline Japanese expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era, released in Japan on 18 October 2024. Pikachu ex 132/106 is one of the set’s full-art SAR chase cards. For the complete card-by-card breakdown of the set, see our Super Electric Breaker (SV8) card list.
The two cards above sit either side of Pikachu ex in the SV8 print run, shown here for set context rather than as a species reference.
Two Pikachu ex Cards, One Set: 132/106 SAR vs 122/106 SR
Super Electric Breaker contains a second, entirely different Pikachu ex card at 122/106, printed as a Super Rare (SR). It is not a lower-grade version of the same artwork — it’s a separate print with its own card number, rarity, and English equivalent.
| 카드 | JP number | JP rarity | English equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pikachu ex (this guide) | 132/106 | SAR | Surging Sparks 238/191 (Special Illustration Rare) |
| Pikachu ex (different print) | 122/106 | SR | Surging Sparks 219/191 (Ultra Rare) |
Before buying or selling, confirm the number printed bottom-right on the card: 132/106 is the SAR covered in this guide; 122/106 is the separate SR. The two are easy to conflate in a listing title but are not interchangeable.
The English Version: Surging Sparks 238/191
Pikachu ex 132/106 SAR was printed in English as card 238/191 in the Surging Sparks expansion, at the rarity Special Illustration Rare. This is the direct English-language counterpart to the Japanese SAR — the same artwork and card, issued under Surging Sparks’ English rarity naming rather than Japan’s SAR designation.
As noted above, the other Pikachu ex in this set (122/106 SR) has its own separate English equivalent, Surging Sparks 219/191 (Ultra Rare) — a different card entirely, despite sharing an expansion with 238/191 on the English side too.
Grading This Card: What PSA 10 132/106 Is Worth
As a full-art SAR, 132/106 carries the wide black textured border that most modern Japanese Special Art Rares use, and edge or corner wear on that border is typically the first thing to look for when assessing a raw copy against a PSA 10 slab. Centring on the wide-border format is also worth checking closely before paying a premium for a raw copy over a graded one.
Our own PSA 10 graded copy of Pikachu ex 132/106 SAR is currently listed at ¥121,000 (~$761 at ¥159/USD) (업데이트: 현재 품절 — Quick Order로 재입고 요청). We haven’t sourced third-party sale data for this specific card and grade, so that listing is the price point we can speak to directly.
A slabbed PSA 10 also removes the guesswork around the card number question above — the grading company’s cert confirms 132/106 directly, which is useful given how similar the SAR and the 122/106 SR can look in a thumbnail photo before you check the corner numbering.
How 132/106 Compares to Other Japanese Pikachu Chase Cards
Pikachu ex 132/106 SAR sits within a wider group of Japanese Pikachu chase prints across different sets and eras. Two worth knowing for context:
Pikachu ex 764/742 SAR is a separate full-art SAR pulled from the blind-purchase Start Deck 100 Battle Collection product — a different distribution model to Super Electric Breaker’s booster packs. We cover its identification and grading in a dedicated guide: Pikachu ex SAR (764/742) card guide.
Pikachu 205/172 AR from VSTAR Universe is an Art Rare rather than an SAR — a different rarity tier illustrating the same Pokémon in a different set entirely.
