Fuecoco is one of only two characters in this series whose card list sits entirely inside one volume, and the more complete of the two. Nine Fuecoco cards exist in the Chinese-only sets, all nine are in the Gem Pack Vol. 1 group, and eight of them carry a PSA 10 price — the single gap is one treatment in the middle of the number run.
The two artwork slots at the end of that run take 43 percent of the character. #309 is the horizons full art at $101 and #308 the full art at $77, and the six foils underneath them sit between $35.00 and $42.57. Fuecoco is a Paldea starter, so Collect 151 prints none of it and there is no second product to compare against — the entire name is one group.
How this list was built
Three rules, applied in this order.
- The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CBB1C. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
- The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Nine Fuecoco cards exist across these sets and eight have a PSA 10 price on record. The one that does not is the stars pattern at CBB1C #303, which has no graded sold record yet — and a card with no price cannot be ranked.
- The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.
One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Fuecoco exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.
The five, ranked
5. Fuecoco [Pokeball] #302 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $39
Raw $2.21 · grade 9 $13.41
The Poké Ball foil and the lowest-priced card in this top five. Raw copies at $2.21 becoming $39.39 in a PSA 10 holder is a multiple of 17.8, and its grade 9 record is 34 percent of the PSA 10 value — the shape almost every set-checklist foil in this series has. It finishes ahead of the base print at #301 despite carrying the same treatment family.
4. Fuecoco [Rotary] #304 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $40
Raw $2.39 · grade 9 $13.66
The rotary pattern, one number above the unpriced stars slot at #303. Its raw price of $2.39 is the second highest of the six foils, and it clears the Poké Ball foil beneath it by $0.67 as a PSA 10. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how a group like that is built.
3. Fuecoco [Stamped] #307 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $43
Raw $2.99 · grade 9 $14.59
The stamped foil and the last card before the two artworks. Its raw price of $2.99 is the highest of the six foils and the third highest of the eight priced cards, and the jump from the rotary pattern at #304 to this card is $2.51 — small in absolute terms, but it is the widest step between any two adjacent foils in this ranking.
2. Fuecoco [Full Art] #308 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $77
Raw $7.99 · grade 9 $15.18
The first of the two artwork slots. Its grade 9 record of $15.18 is worth 20 percent of its PSA 10 value — the lowest ratio of any artwork slot on the six Paldea starter lines, where the equivalent card is priced at 34 to 56 percent on the other five. That is what it looks like when a card’s graded sales are concentrated almost entirely in the top grade. The full art of this group is also one of the two cards the Vol. 1 layout gives a starter line at the end of its run.
1. Fuecoco [Horizons Full Art] #309 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $101
Raw $22.10 · grade 9 $32.00
The horizons full art, the last number in the group, and the only Fuecoco card in the language above $80. It holds 25 percent of the character’s total, and together with the full art directly below it — #308, one number down — the two artwork slots account for $177.93, or 43 percent of everything Fuecoco is worth in these sets. Raw copies at $22.10 are the highest raw price of the eight priced cards. We hold this card in PSA 10: the Vol. 1 Fuecoco and Roy listing is here.
What the ranking shows
Fuecoco has the most completely priced single-volume card list in this series. Nine cards, one product, eight prices, and no second volume to spread the name across.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 – $250 — ranked 1 | 1 | $101 | 24.6% |
| $70 – $100 — ranked 2 | 1 | $77 | 18.8% |
| $40 – $45 — ranked 3 to 4 | 2 | $83 | 20.2% |
| $36 – $40 — ranked 5 to 7 | 3 | $114 | 27.9% |
| Under $36 — ranked 8 | 1 | $35 | 8.5% |
| Every priced Fuecoco card | 8 | $410 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
The Vol. 1 group prints nine consecutive numbers and eight of them are priced. #301 to #309 is one Gem Pack group — the base print, a Poké Ball foil, the stars pattern, the rotary pattern, the Master Ball foil, the shiny pattern, the stamped foil, the full art and the horizons full art at the top. Ranked by value the priced eight come out #309, #308, #307, #304, #302, #301, #305, #306. The stars pattern at #303 is the only card in the group with no tracked price, and it is the only card in the entire Fuecoco list that cannot be ranked — eight of the nine carry a price, a completeness no other character confined to a single volume matches.
The two artwork slots take 43 percent and the raw prices land almost level. Between them the full art and the horizons full art hold $177.93 of $409.96. In raw copies the horizons full art at $22.10 is barely above the combined raw price of the seven cards beneath it, which come to $21.36 — so on raw paper the top card and the entire rest of the character are worth the same money, and the ranking only opens up once the cards are graded.
Where Fuecoco is printed
| Product | Set code | Fuecoco cards |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Pack Vol. 1 | CBB1C | 9 |
| Total | 9 |
Gem Pack Vol. 1 is the only product that prints Fuecoco in these sets, and it supplies all nine cards and all $410 of the total. Fuecoco is a Paldea starter, which is why there is no Collect 151 entry: that set prints only the original 151 Pokémon. There is also no second Gem Pack volume in the list, unlike the middle and final evolutions of the same starter line, which are reprinted in Vol. 5.
The Vol. 1 artwork is printed as a pairing with a trainer, and collecting a character through its trainer pairings covers that angle. If the goal is the group rather than the single card, completing a Simplified Chinese set sets out what a full Vol. 1 run involves.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: the horizons full art at #309, at $101. It is the only Fuecoco card in the language above $80 and the highest-numbered card in the group. The Vol. 1 Fuecoco and Roy listing is here.
- The second artwork: the full art at #308, at $77 — one number below the top card and the only other Fuecoco print that leaves the foil shelf.
- The lowest-priced entry onto this list: the shiny pattern at #306, at $35, which is the lowest-priced card in the group and the only Fuecoco print under $36.
- If you want the whole group: the six ordinary treatments all sit between $35.00 and $42.57, so the six of them together come to $232 — about a third more than the two artworks cost together.
Frequently asked questions
How many Fuecoco cards are there in Simplified Chinese?
Nine, all of them in the Gem Pack Vol. 1 group. The character appears in no other product in these sets. Eight of the nine carry a tracked PSA 10 value.
What is the most valuable Fuecoco card in Simplified Chinese?
The horizons full art of Gem Pack Vol. 1 at #309, tracked at $101 as a PSA 10 and $22.10 raw. It is the only Fuecoco card in these sets above $80, and together with the full art at #308 it accounts for 43 percent of the character’s combined value.
Why are two Fuecoco cards worth so much more than the rest?
Because they are the two artwork slots in the group, and the Vol. 1 base-form layout gives a Pokémon two of them — a full art and a horizons full art — at the end of its number run. The six cards below them are ordinary set-checklist foils whose treatments are printed for every other Pokémon in the same group. The two artworks are the only cards in the group printed as commissioned art rather than as part of a pattern ladder.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
On six of the eight priced cards, clearly yes: raw prices sit between $1.75 and $2.99 while graded values run from $35 to $43, multiples of 14 to 21. The two artwork slots narrow — #308 multiplies 9.7 times and #309 only 4.6 times, because their raw prices already carry most of the premium. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
Why is one Fuecoco card unpriced?
The stars pattern at #303 has no tracked PSA 10 sale, so there is nothing to rank it against. It is the same treatment that is also unpriced on the two other Vol. 1 starter lines — Sprigatito #103 and Quaxly #503 — which suggests the pattern simply trades less often than the foils around it rather than anything specific to Fuecoco. It does not affect the top of the ranking: the card would sit inside the six-dollar foil window if it were priced.
Other character rankings
Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Psyduck, Ponyta, Meowth, Chandelure, Gengar, Ceruledge, Captain Pikachu, Cubone, Applin, Blastoise, the other Paldea starter lines — Sprigatito, Floragato, Crocalor, Quaxly and Quaxwell — and the nine forms of the Eevee family: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. For the whole market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.
