Regigigas Pokemon Card Guide: Every Japanese Printing

Every Regigigas Pokemon Card and Its Rarity

Nine card numbers across six Japanese sets, oldest to newest:

One set carries almost half the list on its own: VSTAR Universe reprinted the Time Gazer version as a standard rare, then added a V, a VSTAR, and a Special Art Rare on top of it — four Regigigas cards from a single 2022 release. The rest of the line is spread thin, with most sets stopping at a single rare-tier print.

The Heavyweight: Awakened Heroes

By Awakened Heroes (SM4S) in September 2017, Regigigas had grown into a proper attacker: Colorless, 180 HP, with an attack that costs five Energy for 160 damage — a genuinely heavy investment, in keeping with a Pokemon whose in-game stat spread is built around raw power rather than speed. It was released in English as Crimson Invasion #84. This print sits within the Sun & Moon era of Japanese sets; our Sun & Moon era Japanese Pokemon guide covers the full run of sets from that period.

The Full Lineup: VSTAR Universe

VSTAR Universe (S12a), released December 2022, is where Regigigas got its biggest single-set push: a reprint of the Time Gazer rare, plus a V, a VSTAR, and a Special Art Rare of the VSTAR — four cards under one Pokemon, three of them new for this set.

Regigigas V, S12a 124/172, Double Rare

Regigigas VSTAR, S12a 125/172, Triple Rare

Regigigas VSTAR, S12a 233/172, SAR

The V (124/172) and standard VSTAR (125/172) are both illustrated by PLANETA Mochizuki: Colorless, 240 HP for the V and 300 HP for the VSTAR. The VSTAR carries a VSTAR Power called Star Guardian, usable once per game and specifically once your opponent is down to their last Prize card — a board-clearing effect built for closing a game out rather than opening one. The Special Art Rare (233/172) is a separate full-art illustration by Aya Kusube of the same VSTAR card. In English, the trio corresponds to Crown Zenith #113, #114, and #GG55.

If you’re weighing whether to buy the SAR raw or hold out for a graded copy, our PSA 10 vs raw Japanese Pokemon cards guide walks through that tradeoff in more detail.

Which Print Fits What You’re Collecting

The right Regigigas print depends on what you’re actually after:

• Deckbuilding around the Regi legendaries. The Time Gazer print (S10D 054/067) is the Ancient Wisdom card, and Ancient Wisdom is specifically what makes it relevant — it’s the card to own if you’re building or completing a five-Regi bench.
• Display-grade full art. The VSTAR Universe Special Art Rare (S12a 233/172), illustrated by Aya Kusube, is the only full-art print in the lineup.
• Historical range. Phantom Gate (2014) and Legendary Holo Collection (2015) are the two oldest prints in this lineup — useful if you’re collecting by era rather than by card power.
• Scarlet & Violet-era print. Terastal Festival ex (SV8a 132/187) is the 2024 print and the one with the Jewel Break attack.

None of these are mutually exclusive — VSTAR Universe alone printed the reprint rare, the V/VSTAR pair, and the SAR.
