Everything we know (so far) about the Fusion Strike NON-HOLO Absol in Traditional/Simplified Chinese

At first glance, all these cards look the exact same. And you would be right if you weren't insane like me.
In today's collection post we will be going through everything we need to know about the S/T-Ch non-holo Fusion Strike Absol card.

Traditional Chinese — 阿勃梭魯

027/067: This card has been completely confirmed by the official Taiwanese Pokémon TCG database and is listed under the expansion set, 摩天巔峰 (S7D Skyscraping Perfection).
The Traditional Chinese release explicitly pairs S7D 摩天巔峰 with S7R 蒼空烈流. The official Taiwan Pokémon site presents the two expansions together and describes S7D as the Single Strike-oriented side and S7R as the Rapid Strike-oriented side.

004/028: Likewise, the official Traditional Chinese database confirms its product as 特別牌組組合 蒼響・藏瑪然特VS無極汰那 (J Special Deck Set: Zacian & Zamazenta vs. Eternatus)

The Special Deck Set: Zacian & Zamazenta vs. Eternatus (特別牌組組合 蒼響・藏瑪然特VS無極汰那) is a Traditional Chinese Pokémon TCG product based on the Japanese SJ Special Deck Set, originally released in Japan in November 2021. The set features two opposing 60-card decks themed around Zacian V and Zamazenta V on one side and Eternatus VMAX on the other, with its cards using the SJ set code and a 028-card numbering system. The Traditional Chinese edition was released in January 2022 and closely follows the card selection and structure of the original Japanese product. Unlike paired expansions such as S7D and S7R, SJ is a standalone deck product with no corresponding sister set.

Traditional Chinese — 阿勃梭魯 / Simplified Chinese — 阿勃梭鲁

267/414: Explicitly listed by the official database as belonging to 初階牌組100 (Start Deck 100)
267/414: This belongs to the simplified Simplified Chinese Start Deck 100 series (初阶牌组100) and this set number exists in both s-ch AND t-ch.

Absol 267/414 originates from Start Deck 100 (初階牌組100 / 初阶牌组100), a Sword & Shield-era product originally released in Japan in 2021. Rather than a booster set, Start Deck 100 consists of numerous preconstructed 60-card decks distributed at random, with cards sharing a large 414-card numbering system. The product was later localized for both Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, making Absol 267/414 available in both Chinese scripts with the same set number and artwork.

096/159: Isn’t listed on the site but we know exists in the V起始牌組 強大 (Strength V Starter Deck)

Absol 096/159 originates from the V Starter Deck: Strength (V起始牌組 強大), a Sword & Shield-era randomized starter deck released in Traditional Chinese in 2021. Each 60-card deck was randomly assembled from a 159-card pool and guaranteed at least one Pokémon V, with the possibility of also containing a Pokémon VMAX. Absol appears as 096/159 within this card pool. Unlike many Traditional Chinese releases, this product was created specifically for Asian markets rather than being a direct localization of a single Japanese set.

Simplified Chinese — 阿勃梭鲁

077/132: This is an expansion printing from the set, Nine Colors Gathering: Origin (九彩汇聚：源)

Absol 077/132 originates from the Simplified Chinese expansion Nine Colors Gathering: Origin (九彩汇聚：源), released in Mainland China in March 2024 as part of the Sword & Shield series. The set contains 132 main cards and combines cards drawn primarily from the international Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies era. Unlike the deck-exclusive Chinese Absol printings, 077/132 was distributed through booster packs and is available in both standard and reverse-holo versions.
