“Entei V GG36 Crown Zenith” is how English-language collectors search for an English Entei V, and the Japanese card they are usually comparing it with is エンテイV (Entei V) 213/172 from VSTAR Universe (S12a), credited to the illustrator Shigenori Negishi. This guide keeps the two sides apart: the Japanese facts come from the official Japanese card database and from our store, while the English print is treated only as a name collectors search for, because this guide has no sourced card details for it.
It covers which Japanese Entei V prints exist, what each one’s database row says, how the card plays according to the printed Japanese text, and how our PSA 10 back order for the 213/172 print is worded. Facts are as of October 29, 2026, and USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
- The official database lists three distinct Entei V numbers in Japan: S12a 019/172 (PLANETA Mochizuki), S12a 213/172 (Shigenori Negishi) and SI 056/414 (PLANETA Mochizuki, entered twice).
- All carry HP 230; the 213/172 is numbered above the set’s 172, and our listing names it a SAR (as our listing names it). A PSA 10 copy is offered as a back order at ¥15,525 (~$101) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
- “GG36” is a collector search term for the English print; this guide states no English card number, price or illustrator for it.
What “GG36” Means in the Search Box
“Entei V GG36 Crown Zenith” is a phrase English-language collectors type into search boxes when they look for an Entei V print in English. This guide uses it only as a search name and does not state the English card’s number, set details, artwork credit, HP, release date or any price.
That limit shapes how the comparison below works. The Japanese side is fully documented: the official database lists each Entei V by set code, number, illustrator, HP and printed text. The English side is a label. If you are deciding between an English slab and a Japanese one, the first job is to confirm from the slab’s own label which card you are looking at, and to treat any claim that the two share artwork as something to verify against the images, not something this guide asserts.
For the English-language side of the Pokémon world generally, the English counterpart of a Japanese set is a separate product with its own numbering, which is why our legendary beasts guide marks Japanese numbers “(JP …)” whenever it mixes the two. The same discipline applies here: 213/172 is a Japanese number and belongs to S12a.
Every Japanese Entei V Print in the Database
The official Japanese card database lists four rows for the name エンテイV. Two are in VSTAR Universe (S12a) and two are in Start Deck 100 (set code SI), where the same printed number appears under two different database entries.
| Set and number | Illustrator | HP | Database card ID | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S12a 019/172 | PLANETA Mochizuki | 230 | 42280 | Inside the set’s 172 count |
| S12a 213/172 | Shigenori Negishi | 230 | 42863 | Numbered above 172; the database prints no rarity letter |
| SI 056/414 | PLANETA Mochizuki | 230 | 40350 | Start Deck 100 |
| SI 056/414 | PLANETA Mochizuki | 230 | 40546 | A second database entry with the same printed number |
Only the 213/172 credits Shigenori Negishi. The three other rows credit PLANETA Mochizuki, so by the credit alone they are by a different hand. Whether the three PLANETA Mochizuki rows share artwork is not established by the credit, and this guide does not say they do.
The wider family of Entei prints, from the 2007 Diamond & Pearl era onward, is walked through in our Entei cards guide, and the Entei V on its own is the subject of our Entei V PSA 10 guide.
The 213/172 Card Up Close
The 213/172 sits above the set’s printed count of 172. In Japanese sets, a number past the count marks the secret or special rarities, and the database does not print the exact rarity letter. Our own listing names the card “Entei V SAR [s12a 213/172]” within the 高級卡包 “VSTAR Universe”, so SAR is the letter as our listing names it, and the guide uses it only in that sense.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | エンテイV |
| Set and number | S12a 213/172 |
| Set release | Friday, December 2, 2022 |
| Illustrator | Shigenori Negishi |
| Stage | Basic (たね) |
| HP | 230 |
| Rule box | Pokémon V: when it is knocked out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards |
The set itself is a 高級卡包. VSTAR Universe is also the home of the Raikou V SAR 218/172 (illustrator nagimiso, HP 200) and the Suicune V SAR 215/172 (illustrator Atsushi Furusawa), which makes the three beast Vs a natural trio; our S12a card list is the listing page for the set.
How the Printed Japanese Text Reads
The database prints the same text on the 019/172 and the 213/172, and on the Start Deck 100 rows. The renderings below are of the printed Japanese for this card only; they are not general rules and are not advice about play.
| Part | Printed Japanese name | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Ability | しゅんそく | If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may use this once during your turn: draw 1 card (rendering) |
| Attack | バーニングロンド | 20 damage, plus 20 more for each Benched Pokémon on both sides (rendering) |
Two points follow from the text alone. The ability needs Entei V in the Active Spot, and it works once per turn. The attack’s damage scales with the number of Benched Pokémon on both sides of the table, not only your own. This guide makes no statement about how strong that is in any format; the official text is all it relies on.
The 019/172 and SI 056/414 Prints
The 019/172 is the regular print in VSTAR Universe, inside the set’s 172 count and credited to PLANETA Mochizuki. Our guide to the Entei V lists it as an RR print. It is the print to look at if what you want is the playable card and its standard artwork rather than the 213/172 artwork.
The SI 056/414 belongs to Start Deck 100, the starter product whose cards carry the set code SI and a /414 count. The database holds two separate entries, with IDs 40350 and 40546, for this same printed number. Our Start Deck 100 guide covers the product.
English Search Term vs Japanese Card: What Can Be Compared
This table lists what a buyer can and cannot establish from our sources when weighing the English print collectors search as “Entei V GG36 Crown Zenith” against the Japanese 213/172.
| Question | Japanese 213/172 (S12a) | English “GG36” (Crown Zenith) |
|---|---|---|
| Official number | 213/172 | Not stated here |
| Illustrator | Shigenori Negishi | Not stated here |
| HP | 230 | Not stated here |
| Ability and attack text | Rendered above from the database | Not stated here |
| Set release | Friday, December 2, 2022 | Not stated here |
| Our price | PSA 10 back order, ¥15,525 (~$101) | No listing is named here |
| Language of the card | 日語 | English |
The right-hand column is empty on purpose. Rather than fill it with remembered numbers, the guide leaves it as a checklist: when you see an English listing, read the slab label, then compare the card image to the official Japanese image above.
Language is the one difference that does not need checking. A Japanese card is printed in Japanese, with the text shown above. Our Delta Reign versus Storm Emeralda guide shows how we handle an English and a Japanese set side by side in a more recent case.
Our PSA 10 Back Order, Read Line by Line
The listing is titled PSA10 Entei V SAR [s12a 213/172] (高級卡包 “VSTAR Universe”). It is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥15,525 (~$101) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
- PSA10 — the grade named in the title.
- Entei V SAR — the card name and the rarity letter as our listing names it.
- [s12a 213/172] — the set code and Japanese number, which match the database row for ID 42863.
- 高級卡包 “VSTAR Universe” — the product the card comes from.
The fact that this is a back order, not a card on a shelf, is part of the listing. The copy is sourced to order, and the product page states the terms. We do not give a quantity, a lead time or a promise about timing here, because the product page is the place those terms live.
Which Print to Choose
The choice depends on what you collect, not on a ranking this guide could defend.
- You collect the Shigenori Negishi artwork. Only the 213/172 carries that credit among the Entei V rows, so it is the Japanese card to look for. Our PSA 10 back order for this version is at ¥15,525 (~$101) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
- You want the regular VSTAR Universe artwork. The 019/172 is credited to PLANETA Mochizuki and is the in-count print of the same set.
- You are building a Start Deck 100 collection. The SI 056/414 print belongs to that product; note the two database entries under one number.
- You are comparing with an English slab. Use the table above: confirm the label, then confirm the artwork against the official Japanese image.
If you want the three beasts of the same set together, the Raikou V SAR 218/172 is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥18,574 (~$121) and the Suicune V SAR 215/172 as a PSA 10 back order at ¥18,620 (~$121), both sourced to order. Each page shows the current terms.
The Three Beast V SARs of VSTAR Universe Side by Side
Because the Entei V 213/172 shares its set with the Raikou and Suicune V SARs, buyers often weigh all three. The table sets out only what our sources state for each, with our back-order prices and the illustrator credits.
| 卡牌 | Japanese number | Illustrator | HP | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entei V SAR | S12a 213/172 | Shigenori Negishi | 230 | PSA 10 back order, ¥15,525 (~$101) |
| Raikou V SAR | S12a 218/172 | nagimiso | 200 | PSA 10 back order, ¥18,574 (~$121) |
| Suicune V SAR | S12a 215/172 | Atsushi Furusawa | Not stated here | PSA 10 back order, ¥18,620 (~$121) |
The three numbers, 213, 215 and 218, all sit above the set’s 172 count, so all three belong to the same secret-numbered group of the set. Each card has a different illustrator, which means the three are not variations of one picture. If you collect by artist, our Atsushi Furusawa artist guide covers the Suicune credit, and our Raikou V PSA 10 guide covers the Raikou.
The prices in the table are our own back-order prices only. They are listed to show how the three listings are worded, not to rank the cards, and this guide makes no claim about how any of them will move.
A Checklist Before You Buy Either Language
Whether the slab on your screen is English or Japanese, the same short routine avoids most mix-ups.
- Read the number on the label. A Japanese S12a card reads 213/172. If the label shows a different number format, it is a different product.
- Compare the picture to the official image. The Shigenori Negishi artwork is the one shown above in the official database image. A different picture means a different card, even with the same name.
- Check the language of the text. The Japanese card prints the ability and attack in Japanese; the renderings in this guide translate that text for reference only.
- Read the listing terms. For our back orders, the product page shows the current terms.
- Do not read a price from one language into the other. The only prices in this guide are our own listed prices, and each sits next to the card it belongs to.
None of this requires knowing anything about the English card beyond what its own label and image say. That is deliberate: the guide would rather leave a question open than answer it from memory.
The October 29, 2026 Trademark Report
On October 29, 2026 fan sites reported a Japanese trademark filing for 「マグマの鼓動」, which collectors read as a possible Entei set; nothing is announced. Our Magma Heartbeat trademark article (working English translation of マグマの鼓動; no official English name exists) explains what is confirmed and what is not. The round-up of the 2027 trademarks places it next to the others, and our legendary beasts guide covers selected Entei prints. The Gold Star print of 2005 has its own guide: Entei Gold Star PCG4 019/106.
