Vivid Voltage Booster Box vs Japanese Amazing Volt Tackle S4 (Pokemon)

The Official English Vivid Voltage Products

The official product gallery lists one sealed Vivid Voltage product, the Elite Trainer Box, launched November 13, 2020. The page prints its contents but no price, so the figures below are contents only.

The official set overview describes the expansion as adding “Unique new Amazing Pokémon” with a rainbow splash, the Mythical Pokémon Zarude, and “6 enormous Pokémon VMAX” including Gigantamax Pikachu, plus “More than 15 Trainer cards and 4 new Special Energy cards”. Those Amazing Pokémon are the cards the Japanese S3a box supplies, as the Amazing Rare section below shows.

The Japanese boxes in the following sections are booster boxes, so the sleeves, dice, markers and collector’s box in the table belong to the English product only.

Which Japanese Boxes Feed Vivid Voltage

Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (snapshot September 15, 2026) names S4 Amazing Volt Tackle as the closest Japanese set to Vivid Voltage and S3a Legendary Heartbeat as part of it. Card-level matches below are attributed to Limitless TCG, which lists for each English card the Japanese cards that share its game text.

Our live card lists show 111 cards for S4 and 85 for S3a. The SR prints are numbered 101/100 to 111/100 in S4 and 077/076 to 085/076 in S3a, and those SR prints are the Japanese cards the English Ultra Rare V and Supporter cards line up with.

The store title of our S4 box reads “S4-Amazing V Charge”, while the Bulbapedia snapshot romanizes the set as Amazing Volt Tackle; both names sit on the S4 code. The S3a box is titled Legendary Heartbeat.

Pokemon V Ultra Rares: EN 166–178

English cards 166 to 178 are the thirteen Pokémon V listed as Ultra Rare by Limitless. Each has two Japanese prints: a regular RR card inside the main set and a full-art SR numbered above the main list. The SR print is the one that carries the same illustrator credit as the English card, so it is the card to compare.

Eight of the thirteen V cards match S4 prints and five match S3a prints, so neither Japanese box holds the whole English V lineup. The Japanese Pikachu V SR 104/100 is credited to Saki Hayashiro, the same name Limitless shows for English card 170. The Vivid Voltage chase cards article lists the chase cards of the set with their Japanese versions.

Rainbow Rare and Secret Rare Cards: EN 186–203

Limitless labels EN 186 to 197 Rainbow Rare and EN 198 to 203 Secret Rare. The numbered order is six VMAX cards, six Supporters (the same six characters as the Ultra Rare Supporters, minus Pokémon Center Lady), then six Secret Rare cards (two Pokémon and four Trainer Tools). These 18 English cards have no verified Japanese counterpart at the same tier, so the table shows only the regular Japanese print of the same card where one exists.

Our listing for the Japanese Pikachu VMAX RRR (S4 031/100), the regular print of EN 188, is a PSA 10 currently listed at ¥8,527 (~$55), and the same card is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥8,363 (~$54).

The Rainbow Rare Supporters, EN 192 to 197, are Allister, Bea, Beauty, Leon, Nessa and Opal. Their Japanese prints are the same SR cards shown in the Supporter table, at S3a 084, S4 109, S3a 083, S4 110, S4 111 and S3a 085.

Our catalogue also lists S4 singles under the HR code: Pikachu VMAX HR 114/100, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥82,783 (~$538), and Nessa HR 118/100, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥15,300 (~$99). These are Japanese singles in their own right and are not paired with an English card.

English or Japanese: A Print Checklist

A card from the Vivid Voltage era can be an English card, a Japanese S4 card or a Japanese S3a card. Four printed details separate them.

• Number against set size. English Ultra Rare cards are numbered 166 to 185 in a set whose numbered total is 185. Japanese SR prints are numbered above their set’s main list, such as 104/100 in S4 or 077/076 in S3a.
• Set code. The Japanese cards carry S4 or S3a; the English cards carry the Vivid Voltage set.
• Rarity mark. The official Japanese database shows an SR icon on the full-art prints and no rarity icon on the S3a Amazing Rare cards.
• Illustrator credit. A matching credit, such as 5ban Graphics on Rayquaza, supports an English-to-Japanese match but does not prove that the artwork is identical.
