Clefairy has been in the Japanese TCG since the game’s earliest sets. Thirty years later, its evolution just got a Mega form.
Clefairy (ピッピ, Pippi) and Clefable (ピクシー, Pixy) are the Fairy-type pair that debuted in the original Base Set and Jungle eras and have kept reappearing ever since — most recently as Lillie’s partner card in 2025 and as a Mega evolution in the 2026 Nihil Zero set. This guide walks through the notable Japanese printings, prices the cards currently listed, and points you to where to buy them.
Unlike some evolution lines that get one flagship reprint per era and then go quiet, Clefairy and Clefable have shown up in almost every generation of Japanese sets — base-set holos, a Gym-era Trainer’s-card variant, the Pokemon Card 151 throwback, and now two separate 2025–2026 chase-card runs. That makes it a reasonable line to track set by set rather than trying to pin down a single “best” card.
Clefairy is ピッピ (Pippi) and Clefable is ピクシー (Pixy) in Japanese. The current chase card is Lillie’s Clefairy ex SAR (SV9 126/100), PSA 10, currently listed at ¥43,250 (~$272) (更新：当前售罄 — 可通过 Quick Order 申请补货), and 2026’s Nihil Zero (M3) introduced a new Mega evolution for the line, Mega Clefable ex.

Notable Clefairy & Clefable Printings
Clefairy and Clefable have been reprinted across nearly every era of the Japanese TCG. The table below covers the entries that matter for collectors today — the earliest holos, the current Pokemon Card 151 base prints, and the two most recent chase cards.
| 卡牌 | JP Name | Set | Number | Rarity | Released |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clefairy | Pippi | Base Set era (JP: “扩展包”) | — | Rare Holo (EN) | original 1996-97 era |
| Clefable | Pixy | Jungle era (JP: “Pokemon Jungle”) | — | Rare Holo (EN) | original 1996-97 era |
| Pippi | Pippi | Pokemon Card 151 (SV2a) | 035/165 | Common | 2023-06-16 |
| Pixy | Pixy | Pokemon Card 151 (SV2a) | 036/165 | Uncommon | 2023-06-16 |
| Lillie’s Clefairy ex | リーリエのピッピex | Battle Partners (SV9) | 033/100 | Double Rare | 2025-01-24 |
| Lillie’s Clefairy ex | リーリエのピッピex | Battle Partners (SV9) | 126/100 | SAR | 2025-01-24 |
| Lillie’s Clefairy ex | リーリエのピッピex | Mega Dream ex (M2a) | 060/193 | Double Rare | 2025-11-28 |
| Mega Clefable ex | メガピクシーex | Nihil Zero (M3) | 030/080 | Double Rare | 2026-01-23 |
| Mega Clefable ex | メガピクシーex | Nihil Zero (M3) | 096/080 | SR | 2026-01-23 |
The pattern is consistent with most long-running Pokemon lines: a common base print in every generation’s reprint set, then a scarcer “ex” or evolved chase card once every couple of years. For Clefairy and Clefable, the current chase card is Lillie’s Clefairy ex, and the newest addition to the family tree is Mega Clefable ex.
What’s notable about this particular table is that Clefairy and Clefable have each taken turns being the headline print rather than always moving together. Clefable got its own Jungle-era Rare Holo one set after Clefairy’s Base Set debut, and in the current era it’s Clefairy’s turn again — both of the two most recent chase prints, Lillie’s Clefairy ex and Mega Clefable ex, arrived almost exactly a year apart — 2025-01-24 and 2026-01-23.
From Base Set to Pokemon Card 151
Clefairy’s English debut was Base Set 5/102, Rare Holo, and Clefable followed in the very next set, Jungle 1/64, also Rare Holo. The Japanese equivalents came out of the “扩展包” and “Pokemon Jungle” releases — the earliest era of the Japanese TCG, before Limitless card numbering was standardized the way it is today.
The most accessible modern printings sit in Pokemon Card 151 (SV2a), the 2023 base-set-throwback release that reprinted the original 151 alongside their evolutions. Pippi appears as a Common at 035/165, and Pixy as an Uncommon at 036/165 — both straightforward set-fill cards rather than chase pulls, which is exactly why they’re the easiest entry point for anyone starting a Clefairy/Clefable collection.
Our standard SV2A Pokemon 151 booster box isn’t currently listed, but a SV2A Pokemon 151 Booster Box (Damaged Box) is currently listed at ¥55,620 (~$350) for buyers who don’t need mint packaging. For just the Pippi or Pixy single, a request through our Quick Order page is the fastest route.
Between the original holos and the 2023 reprint sits an older gym-era card worth knowing about: Erika’s Clefairy, from the English Gym Heroes set, with a Japanese counterpart from the “Tamamushi City Gym” release. The exact Japanese card number for that printing wasn’t confirmed in our source review, so if you’re offered a copy, treat the number on the listing as the seller’s claim rather than something we’ve verified here.
This is a common gap for anything printed before the game’s early 2000s era — a lot of first-generation and gym-era Japanese sets simply predate the numbering conventions that later sets (and the databases that track them) standardized around. It doesn’t mean the cards aren’t real or collectible, just that pinning an exact card number to a specific print run takes more digging than it does for anything from the XY era onward, where every set has a clean, cross-referenceable number.
Lillie’s Clefairy ex: The Modern Chase Card
Lillie’s Clefairy ex is the current-generation chase print for this line, first appearing in Battle Partners (SV9), released 2025-01-24, as one of Lillie’s partner cards (English counterpart: Journey Together 56/159). It shows up at two rarity tiers in that set — a Double Rare at 033/100, and a Special Art Rare at 126/100. A second Double Rare printing followed in Mega Dream ex (M2a), released 2025-11-28, at 060/193 — the same set that carries N’s Zoroark ex, if you’re building out a broader Battle Partners-era collection.
We currently have two graded copies of the Battle Partners SAR listed. The standard PSA 10 SAR (126/100) is currently listed at ¥43,250 (~$272) (更新：当前售罄 — 可通过 Quick Order 申请补货), and a special “Battle Collection” style variant — part of the Start Deck 100 promotional line — is currently listed at ¥146,520 (~$922) (更新：当前售罄 — 可通过 Quick Order 申请补货). That price gap reflects how much scarcer a promotional Start Deck style print is compared to the standard set pull, both graded PSA 10.
The two are easy to mix up if you’re only going by the card name. The regular Battle Partners SAR (126/100) comes straight out of booster packs like any other special-art rarity in the set. The Start Deck 100 “Battle Collection” style copy, by contrast, comes from a separate promotional product rather than the main booster line, which is the structural reason it carries such a large premium over the standard pull even though both grade out identically at PSA 10. If you’re comparing listings elsewhere, checking which product a given copy actually came from — booster pack versus Start Deck — matters more than the grade alone.
If you want a sealed shot at pulling one yourself, the Battle Partners booster box is currently listed at ¥10,300–¥11,016 (~$65–$69), which also gives you a shot at N’s Zoroark ex from the same set — see our Zoroark cards guide for that side of the set. For the full rarity breakdown, our Battle Partners best cards guide covers every chase slot. The Start Deck 100 style copy comes from a separate promotional product, so if that’s specifically the print you want, buying the graded single directly is the more direct route than opening boosters.
Mega Clefable ex: Nihil Zero’s Fairy-Type Debut
Mega Clefable ex is a Mega evolution card for this line, introduced in Nihil Zero (M3), released 2026-01-23 (English counterpart: Perfect Order 31/088). It appears at two rarities in the set — a Double Rare at 030/080 and a Secret Rare at 096/080.
Neither single is currently listed, but the Nihil Zero booster box is currently listed under the product name “Munikis Zero” — the M3 Nihil Zero booster box is currently listed at ¥8,343–¥9,486 (~$52–$60), the cheapest sealed entry point on this whole page if you want a chance at pulling Mega Clefable ex yourself. For the set’s full chase-card rundown, see our Nihil Zero best cards guide and the M3 Nihil Zero complete guide.
Nihil Zero, released 2026-01-23, is part of the same MEGA-era run of Japanese sets as Mega Dream ex and Storm Emeralda, and Mega Clefable ex being a Mega-evolved printing for this line puts it in the same category as a number of other classic Pokemon getting Mega treatment this generation.
How to Collect Clefairy & Clefable Cards
Depending on your goal, there are a few reasonable ways to build this out. Laid out by rough spend:
- Under $60 — the Nihil Zero booster box, currently listed at ¥8,343–¥9,486 (~$52–$60), is the cheapest sealed entry point on this page, and it’s also your only current shot at pulling Mega Clefable ex. Set-fill collectors can pair that with a Pippi/Pixy Pokemon Card 151 request through 快速下单 for a full-spectrum starting point.
- $65–$70 — the Battle Partners booster box, currently listed at ¥10,300–¥11,016 (~$65–$69), gives you a shot at Lillie’s Clefairy ex at both its Double Rare and Special Art Rare slots, plus N’s Zoroark ex from the same set.
- ~$270 — the PSA 10 Lillie’s Clefairy ex SAR (126/100), currently listed at ¥43,250 (~$272) (更新：当前售罄 — 可通过 Quick Order 申请补货), is the more attainable of the two graded copies listed here, and the one most collectors chasing this specific card will want.
- ~$920 — the PSA 10 Start Deck 100 “Battle Collection” style Lillie’s Clefairy ex SAR, currently listed at ¥146,520 (~$922) (更新：当前售罄 — 可通过 Quick Order 申请补货), is the step up for collectors who specifically want the rarer promotional print rather than the standard set pull.
For anyone weighing raw versus graded, our general rule of thumb is the same one we’d give for any modern chase print: condition on textured Special Art Rare and Secret Rare foils is hard to judge from photos alone, which is a large part of why the graded copies above carry the premium they do. PSA independently determines authenticity and grade on every graded card we list, so the PSA 10 label on both Lillie’s Clefairy ex copies reflects PSA’s own grading, not a claim we’re making ourselves.
Where to Buy Clefairy & Clefable Cards from Japan
We ship Japanese sealed product and graded singles worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. For the two Clefairy and Clefable graded copies covered here, and for the sealed boxes that can pull the modern chase cards, the product pages above are the direct route. For anything else in the line — the Base Set era originals, the Pokemon Card 151 base prints, or other Lillie’s Clefairy ex rarities — our Quick Order page is the fastest way to request a single or build a mixed order, and our PSA 10 card list is where every graded single currently listed, across every set, appears in one place. That list is worth checking periodically even for cards not covered here, since graded inventory turns over as pieces sell and new copies come in from Japan.
If you’re building out the wider Battle Partners or Mega Dream ex sets rather than just this one evolution line, our Zoroark cards guide covers N’s Zoroark ex from those same two sets, and our Mega Dream ex best cards guide and M2a Mega Dream ex complete guide break down everything else in that set. For the Pokemon Card 151 side of things, see our Pokemon Card 151 best cards guide.
