Card number 764 out of 742. That is not a typo — it is how you know a Japanese chase card was built for a blind-pull product rather than a standard set.
The Pikachu ex Special Art Rare numbered 764/742 is a chase pull from Start Deck 100 Battle Collection, a Japanese release built around individually-sold theme decks rather than booster packs. The same Pikachu ex artwork and stat line also exists as a plain reprint in the same product, and as an entirely different card overseas — which makes this one of the more confusing “which Pikachu is this” situations in the current market.
This guide covers what the 764/742 card actually is, how it fits into the wider print history of this Pikachu ex, how it compares to another SAR Pikachu ex on the market, and what a PSA 10 copy is going for right now.
The Pikachu ex Special Art Rare 764/742 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is the chase pull from Start Deck 100 Battle Collection, illustrated by booota, and it is not guaranteed in any single deck. It sits alongside an ordinary reprint of the same card (227/742) in the same product. We currently list a PSA10 copy at ¥322,850 (~$2,031 at ¥159/USD) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).
What Is the Pikachu ex SAR 764/742?
The card is a Lightning-type Pikachu ex with 200 HP and the attack “10まんボルト” (100,000 Volt), which deals 120 damage. The full-art illustration is credited to booota. The copyright line printed on the card reads ©2025 Pokémon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK.
What sets this particular printing apart from every other Pikachu ex on the market is the card number: 764/742, with regulation mark H. A number higher than the set total is a signature of Japanese “special” or “secret” rare slots — the SAR sits outside the base numbering of the product it belongs to, Start Deck 100 Battle Collection.
Inside Start Deck 100 Battle Collection
Start Deck 100 Battle Collection released in Japan on 19 December 2025. Unlike a standard booster set, it is built around more than 100 individually-sold “theme decks” — each one a blind purchase, similar in concept to a booster pack but built around a small, complete deck rather than random singles.
The Special Art Rare full-art Pikachu ex is the chase pull distributed across that entire line of theme decks. It is not tied to a specific deck and it is not guaranteed with any individual purchase — opening one deck does not mean you are getting this card, and opening many does not guarantee it either. We have not verified a pull rate for this SAR, so we are not going to invent one; treat it as a genuine chase pull rather than a predictable one.

Print History: From a Deck Kit to Ascended Heroes
This exact Pikachu ex — same stat line, same attack — has a longer print history than the SAR alone suggests. It was first printed in the Japanese “Pokémon Card Game Battle Academy” Deck Kit (Pikachu deck, card 018/066), and released in English as an SVP Black Star Promo (SVP 106) in the Battle Academy 2024 Deck Kit.
Start Deck 100 Battle Collection then reprinted the same card twice: once as an ordinary card at 227/742, and once as the full-art SAR at 764/742 covered in this guide. Those two numbers sit in the same product but are very different cards to own — one is a standard-frame reprint, the other is the chase full art.
Internationally, the SAR full-art treatment of this Pikachu ex appears in the US Ascended Heroes special expansion. If you’re tracking the English-market equivalent, our Ascended Heroes card list covers that release.
This SAR vs. Another Pikachu ex Chase Card
The 764/742 SAR is not the only full-art Pikachu ex chase card on the market. A separate SAR — Pikachu ex 132/106 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) from Super Electric Breaker (SV8) — uses different artwork and comes from a different set entirely.
| 카드 | Card # | Set | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pikachu ex (booota art) | 764/742 | Start Deck 100 Battle Collection | Special Art Rare |
| Pikachu ex (booota art, ordinary print) | 227/742 | Start Deck 100 Battle Collection | Regular |
| Pikachu ex (different artwork) | 132/106 | Super Electric Breaker (SV8) | Special Art Rare |
They share a rarity tier and a rule box (both are “ex” cards), but the artwork, set, and print run are unrelated. If you’re comparing the two before buying, check the card number and set code first — “SAR Pikachu ex” alone is not enough to identify which card you’re looking at. Full detail on the SV8 card sits in our Super Electric Breaker card list.
It’s also worth placing this alongside older Japanese Pikachu promos to see how numbering conventions have shifted over time — earlier releases such as Pikachu 001/S-P (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) and Pikachu GX 393/SM-P (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) used their own promo-specific numbering rather than a set-relative chase-card number like 764/742.

Current Value: What a PSA 10 Costs
We are not going to cite third-party auction results for this specific card and grade — we have not verified any, and this is a chase pull rather than a card with a deep public sales history. What we can tell you is our own listing.
We currently have a PSA 10 Pikachu ex SAR (764/742) listed at ¥322,850 (~$2,031 at ¥159/USD) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). That price reflects a graded Gem Mint example of a card that was never a guaranteed pull, printed to a Japan-only theme-deck product.
Confirm the card number reads 764/742 and the set code is MC (Start Deck 100 Battle Collection) before comparing prices anywhere else. The 227/742 ordinary print and the SV8 132/106 SAR are both easy to mix up with this card if you’re going off “Pikachu ex full art” alone.
