Which Reshiram ex White Flare printing is which?

Scarlet & Violet—White Flare has four English Reshiram ex printings. They are the Double Rare #20/086, the Ultra Rare #158, the Special Illustration Rare #166/086 and the Black White Rare #173/086 . All four carry the same card name. On SnapHolo on 2026-10-23, their prices ran from $0.59 USD to $468.15 USD . A listing that says only "Reshiram ex" does not tell you which card you are getting, so check the collector number before you compare prices or buy.

Scarlet & Violet—White Flare is a Scarlet & Violet special expansion (Pokémon also calls it a split expansion). It came out with Scarlet & Violet—Black Bolt, whose featured card is Zekrom. The Pokémon Company International said the two sets were "available beginning today" at participating retailers worldwide on July 18, 2025 . The same release introduced Black White rare cards, "which feature card illustrations in a monochromatic black or white design" (source: Pokémon Press Site, 2025-07). On Limitless TCG the set uses the code WHT. On Pokémon's official card database it is listed under rsv10pt5.

For play, all four printings are the same card. Pokémon's official card database lists the Special Illustration Rare #166/086 like this :

• Type and HP: Basic Fire-type Pokémon ex with 230 HP.
• Slash: 50 damage.
• Blazing Burst: 130+ damage, plus 50 more for each Prize card your opponent has taken. You discard an Energy as part of the attack.
• Weakness: Water ×2.
• Retreat Cost: 2.

The database entry for the Black White Rare #173/086 shows the same name and the same 230 HP. Its listed rarity is "Black White rare" . The higher-rarity prints change only the artwork and finish, not how the card plays. That means the price gap reflects collector demand, not tournament use. A player building a deck can use the #20/086 Double Rare and get the same attacks and HP as the #173/086 (source: Limitless TCG, 2025-07).

Why does the Black White Rare cost so much?

The Reshiram ex Black White Rare #173/086 costs more than the other prints because collectors pay for its rarity and artwork. Its game text is the same as the cheaper prints. On SnapHolo, the #173/086 is priced at $468.15 . The Special Illustration Rare #166/086 is $169.70 , and the Double Rare #20/086 is $0.59 . (Source: SnapHolo, 2026-10.)

"Black White rare cards, which feature card illustrations in a monochromatic black or white design," — The Pokémon Company International (source: Pokémon Press Site)

Scarlet & Violet—White Flare and Scarlet & Violet—Black Bolt went on sale on July 18, 2025 . Pokémon has not said whether it will use the treatment again in later sets. The cited sources do not say so either. For now, the only places to find a Black White rare are these two sets.

Four details set the #173/086 apart from the other prints:

• Card number past the set count. Pokémon's card database lists it as 173/86. The set's regular numbering ends at 86 .
• Different artist. The database credits the illustration to 5ban Graphics . The #166/086 is credited to kawayoo .
• Last slot in the set list. Of the four English Reshiram ex prints, #173 has the highest number.
• High value across the whole set. MyDexTCG ranks the #166/086 as "the 3rd most valuable card in White Flare out of 173 priced cards" . The #173/086 sells for more than the #166/086 on SnapHolo, so it is also among the most valuable cards in the set.

Listings also show how much buyers will pay. On SnapHolo's tracking, TCGplayer listings for the #173/086 start at $368.93, observed on 2026-10-23. The TCGplayer sold price is $468.15 on the same date . When completed sales sit above the lowest asking prices, cheaper copies are selling first, and buyers are also paying more for other copies.

A note on pull rates: the sources used here give no verified pull rate for the #173/086, and Pokémon publishes no prices or rarity odds in its release materials. This article does not state a pull rate. Community estimates for this card are unofficial and should be treated that way.

It is a 230 HP Fire-type card with the attacks Slash (50) and Blazing Burst (130+) (source: Pokémon TCG card database). The game text is the same as on the cheaper prints.

How do Japanese SV11W Reshiram ex prices compare?

The Japanese Special Illustration Rare Reshiram ex from SV11W White Flare is card #168/086.

Some limits on this comparison:

• Japanese top rarity: The research for this article has no verified price for the Japanese counterpart of the English Black White Rare #173/086. So this article cannot say whether Japanese copies sell below the English card at the highest rarity.
• Snapshot data: The Japanese figures come from one aggregator snippet with no verified capture date. Read them as approximate October 2026 prices.
• Numbering: Japanese and English numbers do not match. The Japanese SIR is #168/086 and the English SIR is #166/086, so search for the exact set code and card number.
• Language and condition: Listings can mix languages and conditions. Before you compare, confirm that a sale is for a Near Mint Japanese copy.

If you are choosing between editions, check the live TCGplayer listing for SV11W #168/086 next to recent sold listings on the marketplace you plan to use. Both editions move daily, and a few sales can shift the gap between them.
