The Entei Pokémon card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita exists in two Japanese prints: エンテイ XY 011/171 from the 하이클래스팩 “The Best of XY”, and エンテイ XY7 015/081 from Bandit Ring. The official Japanese card database credits Arita on both, lists HP 130 for each, and gives all three of its Arita Entei rows the same printed text. This guide follows that artist thread: what each database row says, how the two numbers differ, what the card text renders to in English, and which of the Entei cards in our store are his.

- The official database holds three Entei rows credited to Mitsuhiro Arita: two separate entries printed XY 011/171 (database ids 33563 and 33732) and one XY7 015/081 (id 30988). All three show HP 130.
- XY7 has a second Entei, 014/081, credited to Naoki Saito with HP 120. It is a different card from Arita’s 015/081.
- Our PSA 10 listing for the Arita print is PSA10 Entei [XY 011/171] at ¥41,088 (~$267).
Mitsuhiro Arita’s Entei Rows in the Official Database
The pokemon-card.com database lists 31 entries for Entei across all eras it covers. Three of them credit Mitsuhiro Arita, and they are laid out below. The database does not print rarity letters, so none is stated here.
| 카드 | Set · number | Illustrator | HP | Database id |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| エンテイ | XY 011/171 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 130 | 33563 |
| エンテイ | XY 011/171 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 130 | 33732 |
| エンテイ | XY7-B 015/081 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 130 | 30988 |
The two XY 011/171 entries have the same number, the same credit, the same HP and the same printed text. The database gives no field that separates the two entries; this guide treats them as two entries for one printed card.
For contrast, here are the two Entei rows credited to a different illustrator in the same XY era:
| 카드 | Set · number | Illustrator | HP |
|---|---|---|---|
| エンテイ | XY7-B 014/081 | Naoki Saito | 120 |
| エンテイ | CP4 016/131 | Naoki Saito | 120 |
The Saito prints (014/081 and CP4 016/131) carry a different text from the Arita prints, covered below.
What the Printed Text Says
All three Arita rows carry the same text. Rendered into English from the printed Japanese (rendering):
| Printed name | Type | Effect, rendered |
|---|---|---|
| 古代能力 Θ（シータ）ダブル | Ancient Trait | This Pokémon can have up to 2 Pokémon Tools attached to it. |
| フレイムバリア (30) | Attack | 30 damage. During your opponent’s next turn, damage from attacks done to this Pokémon is reduced by 30. |
| ヒートタックル (130) | Attack | 130 damage. Flip a coin; if tails, this Pokémon also does 30 damage to itself. |
The database prints these as a Basic Pokémon with HP 130. Attack costs and weakness symbols are image fields that the database text does not render, so they are not stated here; check the card image for them.
Why does this matter when you are choosing a print? Both Arita numbers share one rule text, so the decision between XY 011/171 and XY7 015/081 is about set and artwork presentation, not about what the card does. The same cannot be said for the Saito prints, XY7 014/081 (HP 120) and CP4 016/131, which carry a different pair of attacks, もえるほうこう and コンバットブレイズ, a different card text from the Arita text above.
Entei XY 011/171 (The Best of XY)
XY 011/171 is card 011 of 171 under set code XY, the 하이클래스팩 our listings call “The Best of XY”. Our Best of XY 하이클래스팩 guide covers the pack.
The Entei on this card is the Arita card from the text table above. Our PSA 10 listing for it is named “PSA10 Entei [XY 011/171] (하이클래스팩 “The Best of XY”)”, and it is currently listed at ¥41,088 (~$267). The same card is also offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥41,088 (~$267), sourced to order; each product page shows the current terms.
Entei XY7 015/081 (Bandit Ring)
XY7-B 015/081 is the same Arita card in the Bandit Ring set, numbered 015 of 81. The set code in the database is XY7-B; our earlier guide to all three beasts calls it “Entei 015/081, Bandit Ring (XY7)”, which is the name the card carries on our site.
The two images above are the same card; comparing them with a copy in hand is a quick check: the artwork, the HP of 130 and the Ancient Trait line should all line up with the text table above. We do not currently list a graded copy of the XY7 print; sourcing requests for a specific card go through 빠른 주문.
For where this print sits among the three beasts, see our legendary beasts guide, and for the whole Entei family our Entei cards guide.
Two Entei in One Set: 014/081 and 015/081
Bandit Ring prints two different Entei cards, and the official database separates them cleanly:
| Field | XY7-B 014/081 | XY7-B 015/081 |
|---|---|---|
| Illustrator | Naoki Saito | Mitsuhiro Arita |
| HP | 120 | 130 |
| Ability / trait line | None printed | 古代能力 Θ（シータ）ダブル |
| Attacks (printed) | もえるほうこう, コンバットブレイズ (20+) | フレイムバリア (30), ヒートタックル (130) |
| Database id | 30987 | 30988 |
The card text of 014/081, rendered (rendering): もえるほうこう discards the top 4 cards of your deck and attaches all Energy found among them to your Pokémon in any way you like; コンバットブレイズ does 20 damage plus 20 more for each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. That text is specific to this card and to CP4 016/131, and it is not the Arita card’s text.
If you are holding a Bandit Ring Entei, the number in the corner decides everything: 014/081 is the Saito card, 015/081 is the Arita card. The two numbers are one apart, and the artwork and HP differ.
Arita and the Other Legendary Beasts
Arita’s name appears on more of the trio than Entei. The same database credits him on these Raikou and Suicune rows:
| 포켓몬 | Set · number | Illustrator | HP |
|---|---|---|---|
| ライコウ | SM3p 033/072 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 120 |
| ライコウ | SMH 035/131 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 120 |
| ライコウ | SM8b 034/150 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 120 |
| スイクン | XY9-B 020/080 | Mitsuhiro Arita | 120 |
| スイクン | XYP 205/XY-P | Mitsuhiro Arita | 120 |
That makes five Arita rows for the other two beasts, against three for Entei. Our general Mitsuhiro Arita Pokémon cards guide covers his wider career (it cites Base Set Charizard 4/102 and Pikachu 58/102 among its examples) but does not list these beast cards, which is the gap this page fills for Entei.
Entei by Illustrator: Where Arita Sits in the 31 Entries
Setting the Arita rows against the rest of the database shows how the credit changes from era to era. The table groups the Entei entries from the XY block onward by illustrator, using only what the database prints.
| Illustrator | Entei rows (set · number) |
|---|---|
| Mitsuhiro Arita | XY 011/171 (two entries), XY7-B 015/081 |
| Naoki Saito | XY7-B 014/081, CP4 016/131 |
| kodama | S5I 009/070, SI 055/414, SO 008/030 |
| Shin Nagasawa | SM11a 011/064, SD 014/127 |
| kawayoo | SM8 022/095 |
| NC Empire | S6a 014/069 |
| Nisota Niso | S11a 014/068 |
| Ryuta Fuse | SV4a 213/190 |
| 5ban Graphics | SM3p 011/072 and 073/072 (Entei GX) |
| toriyufu | SV3 016/108, SV4a 028/190, SVJL 005/021 |
| PLANETA Mochizuki | S12a 019/172, SI 056/414 (two entries, Entei V) |
| Shigenori Negishi | S12a 213/172 (Entei V) |
| Kazumasa Yasukuni | M2a 020/193 |
Reading the table, the Arita rows are the ones that combine two features: a credit to an illustrator who, per our Arita guide, joined in the 1996 prototype era and the Ancient Trait Θ Double text. The Entei cards of the later eras print other attacks entirely, such as ヒートダッシュ and ほのおのキバ on the kodama cards and ブレイズボール on the toriyufu cards. So when you see an Entei in a binder, the attack names are a second check beside the number: フレイムバリア and ヒートタックル point to Arita, もえるほうこう points to Saito.
The database also lists older Entei entries before the XY block (for example the Reviving Legends combination cards credited to Shinji Higuchi, and DP and LP-era cards). They are beyond this guide, which keeps to the Arita thread; our Entei cards guide covers further Entei prints.
The Other Entei Cards We List
Besides the Arita print, our catalogue names other Entei cards. They are different cards from different eras, and our sources give no Arita credit for any of them; the table is here so the names and numbers are not confused.
| Listing (as named by us) | What it is | Our price |
|---|---|---|
| PSA10 Entei [XY 011/171] (하이클래스팩 “The Best of XY”) | The Arita print covered above | Currently listed at ¥41,088 (~$267) |
| PSA10 Entei V SAR [s12a 213/172] (하이클래스팩 “VSTAR Universe”) | Entei V, illustrated by Shigenori Negishi per the database | PSA 10 back order at ¥15,525 (~$101) |
| PSA10 Entei LV.24 : Old Back [PRMF-3 No.244] (Pokemon Card neo “Premium File 3”) | An old-back card | PSA 10 back order at ¥66,340 (~$431) |
| PSA10 Entei [PCG 001/009] (PokePark Premium File “Blue Sheet”) | The PokePark Premium File “Blue Sheet” listing | PSA 10 back order at ¥239,200 (~$1,553) |
| PSA10 Entei: 1ED [PCG4 019/106] (확장팩 “Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean”) | The 019/106 print our listing carries | PSA 10 back order at ¥2,570,400 (~$16,691) |
The back orders are sourced to order, and each product page shows the current terms. The Entei V is the subject of its own Entei V PSA 10 guide, and the XY-era Entei prints are also compared in our Entei 011/171 PSA 10 guide and our XY-era prints checklist.
How to Tell the Arita Prints Apart
Three checks sort every Entei you are likely to meet from this era:
- Read the number. 011/171 is the Best of XY card, 015/081 is the Bandit Ring Arita card, 014/081 is the Bandit Ring Saito card, and 016/131 is the Saito card from set code CP4.
- Read the HP. Both Arita prints show 130; both Saito prints show 120.
- Read the trait line. The Ancient Trait Θ Double line (two Pokémon Tools allowed) is on the Arita cards only.
| If the card shows | It is |
|---|---|
| 011/171, HP 130, Ancient Trait Θ Double | Arita, The Best of XY |
| 015/081, HP 130, Ancient Trait Θ Double | Arita, Bandit Ring |
| 014/081, HP 120 | Saito, Bandit Ring |
| 016/131, HP 120 | Saito, set code CP4 |
If your copy does not match any row, it is a different Entei. The official database lists 31 entries across the eras it covers, and our Entei cards guide covers further Entei prints.
A Note on the October 29, 2026 Trademark Reports
On October 29, 2026 fan sites reported a Japanese trademark filing for 「マグマの鼓動」 (working English translation: Magma Heartbeat; no official English name exists), which collectors read as a possible Entei set; nothing is announced. Our Entei hub article explains what is confirmed and what is not, and the overview sits in Pokémon ex★ 2027 Sets and Trademarks Explained.
