“Red and blue tag team” can refer to the Japanese Red & Blue Supporter from Alter Genesis (SM12), and no official source prints a TAG TEAM label on it — the Japanese database files it only under the category Supporter, and pokemon.com lists the English card as “Trainer-Supporter.” In Japan the same card is printed as レッド&グリーン (“Red & Green”), so check the set code and number rather than the name.
Three card names matter: Red’s own Pikachu promo, the Red & Blue Supporter, and the related Red’s Challenge Supporter. The Tag Team connection is real but sits in the product names: Red’s Challenge was reprinted in the SM12a high-class pack whose Japanese name is 「TAG TEAM GX タッグオールスターズ」 (Tag All Stars), and in a Tag Team GX starter set. The official Japanese card database lists 11 rows for these three names, from a 2018 Pokemon Center campaign promo to later starter-deck and trainer-box reprints.
Red’s own card is Red’s Pikachu (SM-P 270/SM-P (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order)), a 2018 Pokemon Center campaign promo, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥161,495 (~$1,049) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms (see how PSA 10 back orders work). The Red & Blue card itself is the Alter Genesis Supporter Red & Blue; its secret-rare full art, SM12 108/095, is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥20,427 (~$133).
- Print table rebuilt from the official Japanese card database: 11 rows for the three card names, with the database’s own rarity icons.

Every Red & Blue Card and What to Know
As of October 5, 2026, the official Japanese card database (pokemon-card.com) lists 11 rows across レッドのピカチュウ, レッド&グリーン and レッドの挑戦. Rarity below is the database’s own rarity icon; where a row shows no icon, none is printed in the database:
| Card | Number | Rarity icon | Product | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red’s Pikachu | 270/SM-P | no rarity icon | Pokemon Center campaign (Aug 2018) | Ken Sugimori |
| Red & Blue (レッド&グリーン) | SM12 090/095 | U | Alter Genesis (SM12) | Megumi Mizutani |
| Red & Blue (レッド&グリーン) | SM12 108/095 | SR | Alter Genesis (SM12) | Hitoshi Ariga |
| Red’s Challenge | SM10 088/095 | R | Double Blaze (SM10) | Megumi Mizutani |
| Red’s Challenge | SM10 107/095 | SR | Double Blaze (SM10) | Naoki Saito |
| Red’s Challenge | 370/SM-P | no rarity icon | SM-P, 新弾バトル July 2019 | Megumi Mizutani |
| Red’s Challenge | SM12a 159/173 | no rarity icon | Tag All Stars (SM12a) | Megumi Mizutani |
| Red’s Challenge | SM12a 201/173 | SR | Tag All Stars (SM12a) | TOKIYA |
| Red’s Challenge | SMM 029/031 | no rarity icon | Tag Team GX starter set | Megumi Mizutani |
| Red’s Challenge | SB 022/024 | no rarity icon | Sword & Shield Premium Trainer Box | Megumi Mizutani |
| Red’s Challenge | SD 123/127 | no rarity icon | V Start Deck Lightning: Pikachu | Megumi Mizutani |
Red’s Challenge accounts for eight of the eleven rows, and two of them, SM10 107/095 and SM12a 201/173, carry the SR icon. For the full numbering of each set, see the SM12 card list and the SM10 card list.
Red & Green in Japan, Red & Blue Everywhere Else
The card printed in Japan reads レッド&グリーン — literally “Red & Green.” pokemon.com prints the English cards as “Red & Blue”: Cosmic Eclipse 202/236 (Uncommon) for the SM12 090/095 print and Cosmic Eclipse 234/236 (Ultra Rare) for the SM12 108/095 full art.
“Red & Green” and “Red & Blue” are the same Supporter under two names. A listing may use either name. Check the set code and number (SM12 090 or 108) rather than the name.
Red’s Challenge keeps its name across languages: Limitless TCG lists it as Unbroken Bonds #184 (Holo Rare) and #213 (Ultra Rare), matching the Japanese SM10 088 and 107.
Red’s Pikachu: The Pokemon Center Promo
Red’s Pikachu is a Lightning-type, 70 HP Basic Pokemon illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Its attack Volt Tackle does 100 damage and 30 damage to itself; weakness is Fighting (×2) and resistance is Steel (−20). It stands apart from the Red & Blue Supporter pair: the official database lists its product line as 「ポケモンセンター キャンペーン（2018/8）」, a Pokemon Center campaign in August 2018, and shows no rarity icon.
The database prints nothing more about the campaign, and Limitless TCG lists no international print of this card, so “Red’s Pikachu” is our translation of the Japanese name. For how Pokemon Center promos of this kind are distributed, see our Pokemon Center Pikachu promo guide and the wider SM-P promo best cards guide.
On SNKRDUNK the lowest Red’s Pikachu ask as of October 5, 2026 is ¥45,000 (~$292) for a raw copy, and the lowest PSA 10 ask is ¥155,000 (~$1,006). The PSA 10 Red’s Pikachu [SM-P 270] is offered as a back order at ¥161,495 (~$1,049).
Red & Blue SR: The Alter Genesis Full Art
Red & Blue is a Supporter: search your deck for a Pokemon GX that evolves from 1 of your Pokemon in play and put it onto that Pokemon to evolve it, then shuffle. It can’t be used on your first turn or on a Pokemon just put into play. When you play it, you may discard 2 other cards from your hand; if you do, you attach up to 2 basic Energy cards from your deck to the Pokemon you evolved. It is a fast GX-evolution piece, not a damage dealer.
Alter Genesis (SM12) launched on September 6, 2019, as a 5-card pack at ¥150 plus tax per the official page. The standard print, 090/095, is Uncommon and illustrated by Megumi Mizutani. The secret rare, 108/095, is the SR full art, illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga. Its English counterparts are the two Cosmic Eclipse prints above. For the rest of the set, see our Alter Genesis best cards guide and the comparison of the Cosmic Eclipse box and Japanese Alter Genesis.
The lowest SNKRDUNK ask for the 108/095 SR as of October 5, 2026 is ¥7,399 (~$48) raw and ¥20,500 (~$133) for PSA 10. SNKRDUNK has no Japanese listing for the 090/095 Uncommon, so no ask is stated for it. The PSA 10 Red & Blue SR [SM12 108/095] is offered as a back order at ¥20,427 (~$133).
Red’s Challenge: The Double Blaze Supporter
Red’s Challenge is a separate Supporter, released earlier in Double Blaze (SM10) on March 1, 2019. You can play it only by discarding 2 other cards from your hand; in exchange you search your deck for any card, put it into your hand and shuffle. The standard print, 088/095, is rarity R in the official database and illustrated by Megumi Mizutani. The secret rare, 107/095, is a full art by Naoki Saito, matching Unbroken Bonds #213 in English. The PSA 10 Red’s Challenge SR [SM10 107/095] is offered as a back order at ¥29,274 (~$190).
The same Mizutani artwork recurs in the later prints: 370/SM-P (database product line 「新弾バトル 2019年7月」, with nothing else printed about its distribution), SM12a 159/173 in the Tag All Stars high-class pack (October 4, 2019, 11 cards per pack), the Tag Team GX starter set SMM 029/031, the Sword & Shield premium trainer box SB 022/024 and the V Start Deck Lightning SD 123/127. The SM12a pack also holds a full-art SR, 201/173, illustrated by TOKIYA; our Red’s Challenge SR 201/173 guide covers it, and the PSA 10 Red’s Challenge SR [SM12a 201/173] is offered as a back order at ¥77,520 (~$503).
For the Double Blaze box itself, the SM10 Double Blaze box is listed at ¥100,181 (~$651) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). Red’s Challenge sits in the trainer-card group collectors track across sets; our PSA 10 trainer cards guide covers how Supporter prints are graded and priced across the Japanese market.

SNKRDUNK shows no Japanese listing for Red & Blue SM12 090/095, Red’s Challenge SM12a 159/173, SM-P 370, SB 022/024 or SD 123/127, so those prints carry no ask here. The SM10 088/095 and SMM 029/031 rows are single listings with only one condition grade priced, which makes them weak signals.
Among these rows, the SM12a 201/173 SR has the highest PSA 10 ask after Red’s Pikachu, at ¥76,000 (~$494). The Red & Blue 108/095 SR shows a raw ask of ¥7,399 (~$48) in grade B and a PSA 10 ask of ¥20,500 (~$133). Box-level prices for the whole Sun & Moon family are in the Sun & Moon booster box price index.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Red & Blue Pokemon card?
Red & Blue is a Supporter card from the Alter Genesis expansion (SM12, September 6, 2019) that lets you evolve a Pokemon in play into a Pokemon GX from your deck. In Japan it is printed as “Red & Green”; the English Cosmic Eclipse cards are named “Red & Blue.”
Is Red & Blue a Tag Team card?
No. Red & Blue is a Supporter; the official database lists only that category, and pokemon.com prints “Trainer-Supporter.” The Tag Team link is through products: Red’s Challenge was reprinted in the SM12a Tag All Stars pack, whose Japanese name includes 「TAG TEAM GX」, and in a Tag Team GX starter set.
Why is the card called Red & Blue instead of Red & Green in English?
The official Japanese database prints the card as レッド&グリーン (“Red & Green”), while pokemon.com prints the English Cosmic Eclipse cards as “Red & Blue”: 202/236 for the Uncommon and 234/236 for the Ultra Rare. They are the same Supporter under two names, so check the set code and number rather than the name when you buy.
