Flygon has never been the loudest card in a Japanese set — no Mega Ultra Rare, no shiny secret. What it has is a quiet, steady run: a GX, a V, and an ex, spread across three very different eras of the Pokemon TCG.
This guide catalogues every Japanese Flygon printing we could independently verify on Limitless TCG, from the 2014 uncommon in Rising Fist through the 2025 Paradise Dragona ex. We flag anything Bulbapedia mentions but Limitless could not confirm today, so you’re not chasing a card number that doesn’t check out. All four verified prints ship as Japanese cards out of Tokyo, and we’ve mapped each one to the sealed box that contains it.
What makes Flygon worth a dedicated guide isn’t a single headline card — it’s that its four verified prints happen to line up with three consecutive generations of “special mechanic” card design in the Pokemon TCG, plus one plain pre-mechanic Uncommon. That makes it a useful case study for anyone trying to understand how rarity slots for the same Pokemon have shifted over an eleven-year span, from a standard 2014 card with no special treatment to a 310 HP Stage 2 ex in 2025. Collectors building out a Hoenn-region binder, or anyone assembling a Ground/Dragon-type page, will find all four printings sit in three different sealed products currently listed further down.
Four Flygon printings are independently verified across Limitless TCG: the Rising Fist (XY3) uncommon, the Alter Genesis (SM12) GX, the Star Birth (S9) V, and the Paradise Dragona (SV7a) ex — the newest, a 310 HP Stage 2. Flygon singles are not currently in our stock across any printing; the four boxes that contain them are, with prices currently listed from ¥14,768 to ¥63,000.
Prices below are our own listed prices for Japanese sealed product, converted at ¥159/USD as of August 2026. Flygon is a Ground/Dragon-type Pokemon fully evolved from Trapinch and Vibrava, part of the Hoenn region’s original roster.
Every Verified Flygon Printing
Four Japanese Flygon cards are confirmed on Limitless TCG with matching set, number, and rarity. Each entry below is cross-checked against its individual Limitless card page rather than a general set list, which is why some older printings mentioned later in this guide are flagged as unconfirmed instead of numbered here.
| Kaart | Set | Number | Rarity | Release |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flygon | Rising Fist (XY3) | 071/096 | Uncommon | 2014 |
| Flygon GX | Alter Genesis (SM12) | 044/095 | Double Rare | 2019-11-08 |
| Flygon V | Star Birth (S9) | 072/100 | Double Rare | 2022-01-14 |
| Flygon ex | Paradise Dragona (SV7a) | 027/064 | Double Rare | 2025 |
The English counterparts, for reference, are Furious Fists 76/111 (Rising Fist), Cosmic Eclipse 110/236 (Alter Genesis), Brilliant Stars 106/172 (Star Birth), and Surging Sparks 106/191 (Paradise Dragona). Every one of these is a Double Rare or lower in its Japanese printing — Flygon has never landed a Special Art Rare or Secret Rare treatment in a verified Japanese set.
Read across the table and a pattern shows up: three of the four verified Flygon cards carry a “special mechanic” suffix — GX, V, and ex — and each belongs to a different design era. GX cards ran roughly 2016–2019 and let a Pokemon use one attack per game that could take extra prizes on knockout. V cards took over for the Sword & Shield block starting in late 2019. The ex format (lowercase, distinct from the 2003–2007 EX era) became the standard special-rarity slot starting with the Scarlet & Violet block. Flygon has a verified entry in all three formats, plus the plain Uncommon from Rising Fist that predates any of them, which is part of why this particular lineup is worth tracking as a set rather than chasing one card at a time.
The 2014 Original: Rising Fist
Rising Fist (XY3) is where the earliest independently verified Japanese Flygon sits: card 071/096, printed at Uncommon rarity. Its English equivalent, Furious Fists 76/111, came out the same year. This is the plainest of the four verified prints — standard frame, no holo treatment noted — and the only one from the XY era.
Flygon evolves from Vibrava, which evolves from Trapinch — a three-stage line, which is part of why Rising Fist prints it at Stage 2 with the standard-frame treatment rather than a special-mechanic card. An Uncommon slot generally signals a wider print run than the GX, V, or ex cards that came later for this Pokemon, which is consistent with it being the most accessible entry point of the four if you’re building a set-by-print collection rather than chasing the newest card.
We don’t currently have a sealed Rising Fist box in stock, so if you’re after this specific print, a restock request via our Quick Order page is the way to track it down.
Flygon GX: Alter Genesis
Five years after Rising Fist, Flygon got its GX treatment in Alter Genesis (SM12), released 2019-11-08. Card 044/095 sits at Double Rare, the standard GX slot for that generation. The English counterpart is Cosmic Eclipse 110/236.
GX cards from this era carry a Pokemon-GX rule box and one GX attack usable once per game, which is what made this generation of special-rarity card distinct from the plain Uncommon that came before it for Flygon. Among the four printings verified in this guide, it’s the GX-format entry — the format was later replaced by V cards, which is where Flygon’s next verified appearance falls.
A sealed Alter Genesis Booster Box is currently listed at ¥63,000 (~$396), the way to open for this GX yourself. If you want proof the set still moves in singles form without chasing Flygon specifically, a same-set PSA 10 — Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX RR (SM12 065/095, not Flygon) — is currently listed at ¥12,867 (~$81).
Flygon V: Star Birth
Star Birth (S9), released 2022-01-14, carries Flygon’s V card at 072/100, Double Rare, illustrated by PLANETA Mochizuki. The English equivalent is Brilliant Stars 106/172. No Flygon VMAX or VSTAR has been verified in this or any other set — the V card stands alone in this generation.
V cards dropped the two-attack GX rule box in favor of a simpler single-effect design, and stopped short of the VMAX/VSTAR upgrade path that some Pokemon received in the same block. Flygon’s V print is a clean example of that base-tier V design without a follow-up evolution card, which keeps this particular lineage to a single card rather than a multi-card VMAX chain.
A Star Birth Booster Box is currently listed at ¥22,890 (~$144) (update: uitverkocht — vraag restock aan via Quick Order). This is the same box we point to in our Raichu cards guide, since Star Birth also carries Raichu V — one box, two chase targets. For a fuller breakdown of what else is in the set, see our Star Birth best-cards breakdown.
Flygon ex: Paradise Dragona
The newest verified Flygon is Flygon ex, 027/064, Double Rare, from Paradise Dragona (SV7a), a 2025 release. It’s a Stage 2 evolving from Vibrava with 310 HP — the highest HP total of the four verified prints, and typical of the “ex” card design that replaced GX and V across recent Scarlet & Violet-era sets. The English counterpart is Surging Sparks 106/191.
Note the lowercase “ex” here is a different format from the uppercase EX cards Pokemon printed between 2003 and 2007 — same abbreviation, two unrelated design eras roughly two decades apart. This modern ex format is what carries Flygon into the current Scarlet & Violet block, alongside the GX and V cards covered above, giving Flygon a verified card in each of the three most recent special-mechanic generations.
A sealed Paradise Dragona Booster Box is currently listed at ¥14,768–16,728 (~$93–$105) — a variable-price listing, so the figure moves with our current stock. This is the most affordable of the three GX/V/ex box anchors in this guide, and the box to open if Flygon ex is the specific target.
Earlier Prints & the Delta-Species Flygon
Bulbapedia documents Flygon appearing earlier than any of the four cards above — an EX Dragon-era print from 2003, and a delta-species Flygon δ from the Holon Phantoms era around 2006. Both are real entries in Flygon’s English-language card history, but we could not independently confirm their Japanese set codes or card numbers on Limitless TCG as of this writing, so we’re not printing specific numbers or images for either one here. If you’re trying to identify an older Flygon card by its Japanese set marking, treat any number you find elsewhere as unconfirmed until it checks out against a primary database.
This is a deliberate gap in the table above, not an oversight. We cross-check every card number against Limitless TCG’s individual card pages before publishing a guide, and where that page returns a 404 or the data doesn’t line up with the secondary source, we leave the card out rather than guess at a number. For a Pokemon with a card history stretching back over two decades, that means some older printings — including these two — sit outside what we can currently confirm, even though their existence isn’t in question.
How to Collect Flygon Cards
None of the four verified Flygon printings are currently in our singles stock — not the Rising Fist uncommon, the Alter Genesis GX, the Star Birth V, or the Paradise Dragona ex. The two practical routes to a Flygon card right now are:
- Restock request. If you want a specific printing as a single, submit a restock request via our Quick Order page, specifying the set, number, and rarity.
- Open the box yourself. Each verified Flygon has a matching sealed box currently listed: Alter Genesis for the GX, Star Birth (update: uitverkocht — vraag restock aan via Quick Order) for the V, or Paradise Dragona for the ex. The Rising Fist box isn’t currently stocked, so that one is restock-request only either way.
Laid side by side, the three currently-stocked boxes span a wide range:
| Box | Contains | Currently listed |
|---|---|---|
| Paradise Dragona (SV7a) | Flygon ex 027/064 | ¥14,768–16,728 (~$93–$105) |
| Star Birth (S9) | Flygon V 072/100 | ¥22,890 (~$144) (update: uitverkocht — vraag restock aan via Quick Order) |
| Alter Genesis (SM12) | Flygon GX 044/095 | ¥63,000 (~$396) |
Paradise Dragona is both the newest set and the cheapest currently-listed entry point of the three, which makes it the practical starting point if the goal is simply pulling a Flygon card rather than a specific older print. Alter Genesis, an older Sun & Moon-block box, is currently listed well above the other two.
For a broader view of PSA-graded Japanese cards across sets, including graded singles from the same sets covered here, our PSA10 card list hub is a useful starting point even though it doesn’t currently list a graded Flygon.
Where to Buy Flygon Cards from Japan
We ship Japanese sealed product out of Tokyo with tracked delivery. If you’re set on pulling the newest Flygon yourself, Paradise Dragona is the box to start with — it’s the most recent print and the lowest-priced of the three GX/V/ex boxes.
If your interest is a specific older printing — the Rising Fist Uncommon, or a particular condition or grade of any of the four verified cards — a box isn’t going to guarantee that exact result, since box contents vary by pull. In that case, a restock request via our Quick Order page, naming the set, number, and rarity, is the more direct route.
For Alter Genesis, Star Birth, or a mixed order across sets and singles, our Quick Order page is the fastest way to put together what you need, including restock requests for any Flygon printing not currently listed.
