CHR Pokémon cards (Character Rare)
CHR stands for Character Rare: a Pokémon shown together with its trainer or in a scene, printed in late Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield era Japanese sets. English sets carry the same art as Trainer Gallery cards. These are ungraded Japanese singles we can source right now, priced live from our Japanese suppliers, each listed with its condition grade.
Condition is graded on every card: A+ near perfect · A mint · A- tiny flaw · B light wear · C/D visible wear. Ungraded Japanese singles, sourced live from Japan. Please treat every card as play-grade, not for grading submission — even at A+. Raw singles minimum: ¥3,000 per order. Buying in bulk and grades don't matter? Send us a request for a cheaper source (10+ singles).

Questions
- What does CHR mean on a Pokémon card?
- Character Rare. The card shows the Pokémon with its trainer or in a scene. The rarity mark CHR is printed at the bottom of Japanese cards; CSR (Character Super Rare) is the full-art version with the trainer.
- What condition are raw singles in?
- Every raw single is listed with a condition grade: A+ near perfect, A mint, A- a tiny flaw, B light wear, C/D visible wear. Treat them as play-grade cards rather than grading candidates, even at A+.
- Is there a minimum order for singles?
- Raw singles are sourced per order, so there is a ¥3,000 minimum for raw singles, and the whole order has a ¥10,000 minimum. Singles ship in the same parcel as any boxes or slabs you order.
- How much is shipping, and are there import taxes?
- Shipping is calculated at checkout by country and weight (FedEx, or DHL to Australia and New Zealand when it is much cheaper) and added to your JPY total. US orders include import duty at checkout; elsewhere any import tax or GST is charged by the courier on delivery.
- How do I pay?
- Prices are in Japanese yen. Place the order, then pay the JPY total through Wise in your own currency, by bank transfer, or by card through Stripe (5% processing fee). There is a ¥10,000 minimum order.
