Rosa’s Encouragement SR: Market Watch & Price Analysis

While the SAR version of Rosa is grabbing all the headlines with its massive price tag, the standard Full Art SR is quietly putting up numbers that would make most other cards jealous.

Released in Munikis / Nihil Zero on January 23, 2026, Rosa’s Encouragement SR proves that when it comes to Unova’s favorite heroine, even the “runner-up” rarity is a heavy hitter.

Here is the current market breakdown from Akihabara.

Why the Hype? The “Tier 1” Waifu Tax

Why is a standard SR trading for nearly ¥6,000 on day one? It comes down to the sheer starving demand for Rosa cards.

1. The Long-Awaited Return

Rosa (Mei) is arguably one of the most popular trainers in Pokémon history. Her previous Full Art card (from 2019’s Dream League) currently sits in the ¥40,000 ($270+) range.

For the vast majority of collectors who can’t drop hundreds of dollars on the new SAR or the vintage card, this SR represents the “accessible” way to own a premium Rosa card. The artwork by Atsushi Furusawa captures her signature high-energy vibe perfectly—she looks like she’s about to give you a halftime pep talk, embodying the card’s name, “Encouragement.”

2. The “Max Rarity” Sweet Spot

For competitive players, there is a concept known as “Max Rarity”—playing with the most expensive versions of cards. However, with the SAR being incredibly expensive, many players settle for the SR to “bling out” their decks without breaking the bank.

This SR offers the perfect balance: it features stunning full-art texturing but is far more obtainable than the SAR.

3. Powerful Tech for 2026 Decks

Don’t forget, the card is actually strong. Its ability to accelerate multiple energy cards in a single turn (under the right conditions) opens up new deck archetypes.

If this card becomes a staple in the meta—which seems likely—we will see a “double demand” scenario where both collectors and players are fighting over copies. Opening at ¥4,000 is high for an SR, but given it’s Rosa, this might actually be the floor.
