Lucario VSTAR PSA 10 in Japanese means S-P 305/S-P, the promo from the Lucario HR争奪戦 distribution: HP 270, Fighting, credited to aky CG Works in the official Pokémon Card Game database on pokemon-card.com as printed on October 7, 2026. The database shows no rarity icon for it, so the “HR” in our product name is not an official rarity code.
The promo is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥292,730 (~$1,901). Two other Japanese Lucario VSTAR prints exist in the database: the SAR 226/172 from VSTAR Universe (S12a, released 2022-12-02 per Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions, snapshot of September 15, 2026) and a starter-set card, SLL 005/021. The English counterpart of the promo is not verified.
We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
- The subject is Lucario VSTAR S-P 305/S-P, illustrator aky CG Works, HP 270. The database shows no rarity icon. The PSA 10 is offered as a back order at ¥292,730 (~$1,901).
- Three Japanese prints share the name: the promo S-P 305, the SAR S12a 226/172 and the starter-set card SLL 005/021. The SAR is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥16,125 (~$105).
- The lowest PSA 10 ask on SNKRDUNK on October 7, 2026 was ¥250,000 (~$1,623) for the promo and ¥29,999 (~$195) for the SAR. These are asking prices, not sales.
Database rows and the SNKRDUNK asks are as printed on October 7, 2026. Our listing prices are the prices shown on the product pages at the time of this update.
What Lucario VSTAR S-P 305/S-P Is
The official database row for the subject card is number 42923 on pokemon-card.com. The table lists each field the row prints and the fields it leaves out.
| Field | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Card name | ルカリオVSTAR (Lucario VSTAR) | Official database, October 7, 2026 |
| Set and number | S-P 305/S-P | Official database |
| Rarity | No rarity icon on the row (promo) | Official database |
| Illustrator | aky CG Works | Official database |
| HP, type, stage | 270 HP, Fighting, VSTAR (the stage field reads V進化) | Official database |
| Product line | ルカリオHR争奪戦 | Official database |
| Regulation mark | Not printed as text on the database page | Official database |
| Release date | Not verified | No official page for the promo distribution |
| Limitless TCG page | No page for S-P 305 as of October 7, 2026 | Limitless TCG, October 7, 2026 |
The product line, ルカリオHR争奪戦, is the name of the distribution the card came from; the database prints it as the product. It is a label for how the promo was given out, not a rarity. S-P is the Sword & Shield promotional series, and promo numbers print as 305/S-P rather than as a fraction of a set total.
Every Japanese Lucario VSTAR Print in the Database
The official database lists three cards named ルカリオVSTAR as of October 7, 2026. The last column compares each with the promo using only what the database prints.
| Number | Rarity icon | Illustrator | 商品 | Release | Compared with S-P 305 | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S-P 305/S-P | None | aky CG Works | ルカリオHR争奪戦 | Not verified | Subject | PSA 10 back order ¥292,730 (~$1,901) |
| S12a 226/172 | SAR | hncl | ハイクラスパック「VSTARユニバース」 | 2022-12-02 | Different illustrator printed | PSA 10 back order ¥16,125 (~$105) |
| SLL 005/021 | None | aky CG Works | スターターセットVSTAR「ルカリオ」 | Not verified | Same illustrator printed; artwork sameness not printed | Not listed |
Two of the three credit aky CG Works. Whether the promo and the starter-set card share artwork is not printed by any official source, so compare the official images below. The SAR credits hncl and is the only one of the three from a high-class pack.
Lucario VSTAR S-P 305/S-P (promo)
The promo is the subject. Our PSA 10 is offered as a back order at ¥292,730 (~$1,901), sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms.
Lucario VSTAR SLL 005/021 (starter set)
The starter-set print is credited to aky CG Works, the same credit as the promo, and has no rarity icon. Its release date is not verified. We do not list it.
The SAR in VSTAR Universe (S12a 226/172)
The SAR is a different print from the promo, with a different illustrator, a different product and a different number series. Its details, from Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (snapshot of September 15, 2026), are below.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Set | VSTARユニバース (VSTAR Universe, S12a) |
| Release date | 2022-12-02 |
| Type | High-class pack (HC) |
| Pack price | ¥550 |
| Cards per pack | 10 |
| Cards in the main set | 172 |
The SAR is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥16,125 (~$105). The set’s box guide is VSTAR Universe Booster Box Guide: S12a Japanese Pokemon Box Prices, and the English-set comparison is Pokemon Crown Zenith ETB and Bundle vs the Japanese VSTAR Universe Box.
Reading the Listing Name: Why the Promo Says HR
Our product name for the promo reads “HR: PROMO” and the S-P 305 number. Our listing says HR: PROMO; the official database gives no rarity icon for the card and names the product ルカリオHR争奪戦.
This matters when you compare listings. HR in a listing name for this promo is not a database rarity. Match S-P 305/S-P and the name instead of the code. The SAR 226/172 is a different card with a real rarity code, and it sits in a different price band, as the price table shows. For the rarity codes themselves, see Japanese Pokemon Card Rarities Explained.
English Counterpart: Not Verified for the Promo
The English counterpart of S-P 305 is not verified. Limitless TCG has no page for S-P 305 as of October 7, 2026. For context only, and for a different print, Limitless lists the SAR 226/172 as VSTAR Universe #226, a Special Art Rare credited to hncl with an F regulation mark.
| English print (Limitless TCG) | Illustrator | Linked to |
|---|---|---|
| Sword & Shield Promos #214 | aky CG Works | Listed by Limitless among the international prints of the SAR 226/172 page; Limitless does not list S-P 305 among its Japanese prints |
| Sword & Shield Promos #291 | hncl | Listed by Limitless among the international prints of the SAR 226/172 page |
The illustrator credit on Promos #214 matches the promo’s credit, aky CG Works, but Limitless does not tie that English card to S-P 305, so it is shown here as context and not as the counterpart. For the wider picture of Japanese against English printings, see Japanese vs English Pokemon Cards: Every Difference Explained.
What PSA 10 Means for This Card
A PSA 10 slab certifies the card’s condition at the top of the PSA scale; it does not change which print is inside. For this card, match S-P 305/S-P against the product name and the slab photo; the number is the first detail to check against the table above. The condition standard is explained in PSA Grading Scale Explained: What Does PSA 10 Mean on a Pokemon Card?.
We do not quote PSA label wording or population figures; each PSA 10 shows its slab photo on the product page, which is where to read the label.
Because the promo has no rarity icon and no set total, it gives you fewer cross-checks than a main-set card: the name and the number 305 are the identifiers, and the slab photo is the confirmation. The SAR 226/172 can also be checked against its rarity code and the 172-card main-set count.
How to Tell the Three Lucario VSTAR Prints Apart
The three prints share one name, so the number and the product name separate them.
| What the card shows | Print it points to |
|---|---|
| Number 305/S-P | The promo from the ルカリオHR争奪戦 distribution, credited to aky CG Works |
| Number 226/172 | The SAR from VSTAR Universe (S12a), credited to hncl |
| Number 005/021 | The starter-set card from スターターセットVSTAR「ルカリオ」, credited to aky CG Works |
| Rarity icon SAR | S12a 226/172 only |
| No rarity icon | S-P 305/S-P or SLL 005/021 |
Series pages for the Lucario line are collected in Mega Lucario ex & Lucario Cards: Japan Price Guide, and the older GX print is in Lucario GX SSR 224/150 (GX Ultra Shiny): Pokemon Prints, PSA 10.
Price Table: Our Listings and the Dated SNKRDUNK Asks
Store prices are present-tense listings. The SNKRDUNK figures are the lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 7, 2026; they are asking prices, not sales, as of October 7, 2026.
| Our listing | Lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 7, 2026 (PSA 10) | Lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, October 7, 2026 (product row, ungraded) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucario VSTAR S-P 305/S-P (promo) | PSA 10 back order ¥292,730 (~$1,901) | ¥250,000 (~$1,623), thirteen SNKRDUNK PSA 10 listings | ¥250,000 (~$1,623) |
| Lucario VSTAR SAR S12a 226/172 | PSA 10 back order ¥16,125 (~$105) | ¥29,999 (~$195), three SNKRDUNK PSA 10 listings | ¥2,700 (~$18), ungraded |
For the SAR, SNKRDUNK also showed ungraded used listings with condition letters, as displayed on October 7, 2026.
| SNKRDUNK condition letter | Asks for the SAR 226/172 |
|---|---|
| A | Eight asks, from ¥4,000 to ¥8,500 |
| B | One ask, ¥3,500 |
| C | One ask, ¥4,000 |
For the promo, the ungraded product-row ask and the lowest PSA 10 ask were the same figure, ¥250,000 (~$1,623), on October 7, 2026.
Checklist Before You Order a Lucario VSTAR Slab
The checks use only fields printed on the card or visible in the slab photo. They are written for the promo and the SAR, the two prints we offer as back orders.
| Check | Promo S-P 305/S-P | SAR S12a 226/172 |
|---|---|---|
| Name | ルカリオVSTAR or Lucario VSTAR | ルカリオVSTAR or Lucario VSTAR |
| Number | 305/S-P | 226/172 |
| Rarity field in the database | None printed | SAR icon |
| Illustrator credit | aky CG Works | hncl |
| Product line | ルカリオHR争奪戦 | ハイクラスパック「VSTARユニバース」 |
| Our product name | HR: PROMO [S-P 305] | SAR [s12a 226/172] |
| Order terms | Back order: sourced to order; terms on the product page | Back order: sourced to order; terms on the product page |
The practical rule is to match the number before the rarity word. A listing that says HR and shows 305/S-P is the promo; a listing that says SAR and shows 226/172 is the VSTAR Universe card. Their prices differ by a wide margin in both the back-order listings and the dated asks, so a wrong match is easy to spot against the price table above.

常見問題
How many Japanese Lucario VSTAR cards are there?
The official database lists three cards named ルカリオVSTAR on October 7, 2026: the promo S-P 305/S-P, the SAR S12a 226/172 from VSTAR Universe, and the starter-set card SLL 005/021. Two of the three credit aky CG Works; the SAR credits hncl.
Is Lucario VSTAR S-P 305 a Hyper Rare?
Not in the official database. The row for S-P 305/S-P shows no rarity icon, and ルカリオHR争奪戦 is the name of the distribution printed as the product line. Our product name says HR: PROMO, but that is a naming label, not an official rarity code.
How much does a PSA 10 Lucario VSTAR cost?
The promo S-P 305 PSA 10 is offered as a back order at ¥292,730 (~$1,901), sourced to order, and the SAR 226/172 at ¥16,125 (~$105). The lowest PSA 10 asks on SNKRDUNK on October 7, 2026 were ¥250,000 (~$1,623) and ¥29,999 (~$195). They are asking prices.
When was VSTAR Universe released in Japan?
Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (snapshot of September 15, 2026) gives 2022-12-02 as the release date of VSTAR Universe (S12a), a high-class pack with 172 cards in the main set, ten 張／包 at ¥550. The SAR is numbered 226/172.
Is there an English Lucario VSTAR promo?
Not verified. Limitless TCG has no page for S-P 305, so no English counterpart is stated. For context, Limitless lists Sword & Shield Promos #214, credited to aky CG Works, among the international prints on the SAR 226/172 page, without linking it to the promo.
How do I tell the promo from the SAR on a slab?
Read the number. The promo prints 305/S-P and has no rarity icon in the database; the SAR prints 226/172 and carries the SAR icon. The illustrator credit also differs: aky CG Works for the promo and hncl for the SAR.
Can I order the Lucario VSTAR starter-set card?
We do not list SLL 005/021, and no SNKRDUNK PSA 10 ask is quoted for it on October 7, 2026. Sourcing requests for a print we do not list go through 快速訂購; the product page of each listed print shows the current terms.
