Charizard VSTAR Universe (S12a) Pokemon Card Guide: SARs and Radiant

This Charizard VSTAR Universe guide covers the Charizard cards in the Japanese High Class Pack “VSTAR Universe” (S12a): the Charizard V SAR 211/172, the Charizard VSTAR SAR 212/172 and the Radiant Charizard 015/172.

The facts come from the official Japanese card database and its card images, alongside our listings and a dated SNKRDUNK ask for each print. Rarity codes and regulation marks are as shown on the official card image; fields without a verified value are marked Not verified.

Key Takeaways

Both SAR prints show regulation mark F. We offer the V SAR as a PSA 10 back order at ¥14,688 (~$95) and the VSTAR SAR at ¥25,031 (~$163) — sourced to order; each product page shows the current terms. A VSTAR is not a VMAX, and the two are different cards in the database.

The database has one entry per number and does not record foil pattern, so the table shows only what each entry and card image state. The evolution line printed on the cards runs リザードンV → リザードンVSTAR.

Charizard V SAR 211/172: Official Database Facts

The リザードンV 211/172 is a Basic Fire Pokemon V with HP 220, illustrated by Oswaldo KATO. Attack and ability names in English are renderings of the Japanese text. Its attacks are Burn Away (やきつくす), 90 damage, which discards any Pokemon Tool attached to the defending Pokemon before damage is applied, and Heat Blast (ヒートブラスト), 180 damage. The card image shows the rarity code SAR and the regulation mark F.

Charizard VSTAR SAR 212/172: Official Database Facts

The リザードンVSTAR 212/172 is a VSTAR Pokemon with HP 280, evolving from リザードンV, illustrated by KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA. Explosive Fire (ばくれつファイヤー) does 130+ damage, with 100 more if the Pokemon has damage counters on it.

Radiant Charizard 015/172

The かがやくリザードン 015/172 is a Basic Pokemon with HP 160, illustrated by Kouki Saitou. Its Ability is Excited Heart (エキサイトハート) and its attack かえんばく does 250 damage. Its special rule, translated: you can have only 1 Radiant Pokemon in your deck.

Our listing labels this card K. The K label is not among the rarity filter codes on the official card search page, and no rarity or regulation mark is verified for this card, so we make no claim about either. Our listing carries the name “Radiant Charizard K [s12a 015/172]”.

How to Read the Card: Rarity and Regulation Mark

Rarity. The official card search lists SAR among its rarity filters, and both 211/172 and 212/172 show SAR on the card image. The official pages give the codes without prose definitions; our Japanese Pokemon card rarities guide covers how collectors use them.

Regulation mark. Both SAR prints show the mark F. The official regulation page lists H, I and J as the marks legal in Standard from January 23, 2026, so these prints are not in the current Standard regulation. That is all we state on the point. For reading numbers and symbols in general, see our guide to reading Japanese Pokemon cards.
