Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Urshifu cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX leads at $450 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Urshifu appears on 2 Chinese-exclusive printings, 2 further Simplified Chinese printings, 22 Japanese, 6 Korean and 17 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Urshifu carries 2 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings. The head of the list is Rapid Strike Urshifu #165 (cs3bC) at $51. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

2. Urshifu — cs3aC #158 — $49

1. Rapid Strike Urshifu — cs3bC #165 — $51

This line only yields 2 priced printings for Urshifu. Another 8 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

10. Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX — VMAX Climax #95 — $39

9. Single Strike Urshifu V — Single Strike Master #74 — $40

8. Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX — VMAX Climax #241 — $42

7. Single Strike Urshifu — VMAX Climax #111 — $52

6. Rapid Strike Urshifu — VMAX Climax #42 — $76

5. Rapid Strike Urshifu V — Rapid Strike Master #77 — $77

4. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — Single Strike Master #84 — $78

3. Single Strike Urshifu V — Single Strike Master #75 — $78

2. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — Single Strike Master #85 — $281

1. Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX — Rapid Strike Master #84 — $450

Ranks 11 and beyond

These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

• Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — VMAX Climax #239 — $36
• Single Strike Urshifu V — VMAX Climax #238 — $34
• Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX — VMAX Climax #283 — $33
• Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — VMAX Climax #282 — $33
• Single Strike Urshifu V — VMAX Climax #92 — $30
• Rapid Strike Urshifu V — VMAX Climax #240 — $29
• Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — Single Strike Master #37 — $27
• Rapid Strike Urshifu V — Rapid Strike Master #50 — $26
• Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX — Rapid Strike Master #51 — $24
• Rapid Strike Urshifu V — VMAX Climax #94 — $24
• Single Strike Urshifu V — Single Strike Master #36 — $22
• Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — VMAX Climax #93 — $22

And 8 further printings below those, which carry no tracked value at all.

The English list

English is the widest printing line of the six, which is why its top ten is the most expensive and the most contested.

10. Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX [Jumbo] — Battle Styles #88 — $41

9. Rapid Strike Urshifu V — Battle Styles #152 — $44

2. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX — Battle Styles #168 — $130

1. Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX — Battle Styles #170 — $157

Ranks 11 and beyond

These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

If you want one card

One card, no budget limit:

Rapid Strike Urshifu #165 — cs3bC #165. $51, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Urshifu #158 — cs3aC #158. $49. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Urshifu card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Rapid Strike Urshifu #165 carries the highest tracked value at $51. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Urshifu cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

2 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Urshifu card leads the Japanese list?

Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX #84 from Rapid Strike Master at $450. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Urshifu card leads the English list?

Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX #170 from Battle Styles at $157.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Urshifu is printed in more lines than the three listed above. One line is kept here rather than dropped: the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

More Pokémon

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold an Urshifu slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Lucario cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Lucario LV. X leads at $8,493 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Lucario appears on 3 Chinese-exclusive printings, 6 further Simplified Chinese printings, 1 Traditional Chinese printings, 78 Japanese, 7 Korean and 73 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Lucario carries 3 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and a Japanese line that reaches back into the 1990s promo programmes. The head of the list is Lucario & Melmetal GX #90 (CSM2aC) at $75.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Lucario card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Lucario & Melmetal GX #90 carries the highest tracked value at $75. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Lucario cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

3 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Lucario card leads the Japanese list?

Aura’s Lucario ex #6 from Master Kit at $5,000. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Lucario card leads the English list?

Lucario LV. X #122 from Mysterious Treasures at $8,493.

Why are the Korean (7 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 3 of them were reduced as well.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Lucario is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Korean printings

7 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

• Mega Lucario ex — Mega Brave #92 — $206
• Mega Lucario EX — Mega Brave #88 — $104
• Lucario VSTAR — VSTAR Universe #226 — $62
• Mega Lucario ex — Mega Brave #78 — $48
• Mega Lucario ex — Mega Dream ex #228 — $43

• Mega Lucario ex — Mega Dream ex #92 — $36

A further 7 Korean printings of Lucario sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Lucario slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Zoroark cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Zoroark leads at $2,110 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Zoroark appears on 2 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 1 Traditional Chinese printings, 57 Japanese, 8 Korean and 54 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Zoroark carries 2 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and a Japanese line that reaches back into the 1990s promo programmes. The head of the list is Greninja & Zoroark GX #184 (CSM2cC) at $186. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

2. Greninja & Zoroark GX — CSM2cC #46 — $57

1. Greninja & Zoroark GX — CSM2cC #184 — $186

This line only yields 2 priced printings for Zoroark. Another 7 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

Other Simplified Chinese printings

These are the other Simplified Chinese printings: promos, the reprint sets and the gift-box runs. They sit outside the ranked Chinese-exclusive list because their numbering does not identify a Chinese-only print.

• Zoroark GX [5th Anniversary Stamped] — Promo #154/SV-P — $78

A further 2 Simplified Chinese printings of Zoroark sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Greninja & Zoroark GX #46 — CSM2cC #46. $57. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Zoroark card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Greninja & Zoroark GX #184 carries the highest tracked value at $186. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Zoroark cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

2 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Zoroark card leads the Japanese list?

Zoroark #56 from Psycho Drive at $2,000. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Zoroark card leads the English list?

Zoroark #102 from Next Destinies at $2,110.

Why are the Korean (8 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Zoroark is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Korean printings

8 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

• N’s Zoroark ex — Mega Dream ex #242 — $280
• Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR — VSTAR Universe #234 — $144
• Zoroark — Dark Rush #49 — $120

• N’s Zoroark ex — Mega Dream ex #112 — $21

A further 17 Korean printings of Zoroark sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

More Pokémon

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Zoroark slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Annihilape cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Annihilape ex leads at $230 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Annihilape appears on 3 Chinese-exclusive printings, 5 further Simplified Chinese printings, 8 Japanese, 5 Korean and 11 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Annihilape carries 3 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings. The head of the list is Annihilape [Stamped] #1806 (CBB3C) at $41. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

3. Annihilape [Masterball] — CBB3C #1805 — $25†

2. Annihilape ex — CBB3C #1807 — $40

1. Annihilape [Stamped] — CBB3C #1806 — $41

This line only yields 3 priced printings for Annihilape. Another 7 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

3. Annihilape — Abyss Eye #39 — $37

2. Annihilape — Glory of Team Rocket #47 — $39

1. Annihilape — Shiny Treasure ex #278 — $67

This line only yields 8 priced printings for Annihilape.

The English list

English is the widest printing line of the six, which is why its top ten is the most expensive and the most contested.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Annihilape card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Annihilape [Stamped] #1806 carries the highest tracked value at $41. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Annihilape cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

3 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Annihilape card leads the Japanese list?

Annihilape #278 from Shiny Treasure ex at $67. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Annihilape card leads the English list?

Annihilape ex #242 from Paldea Evolved at $230.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 1 of them were reduced as well.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Annihilape is printed in more lines than the three listed above. One line is kept here rather than dropped: the European languages we cannot price.

• Chinese Exclusive cards — the full range, in stock and sourced to order.
• All PSA 10 graded cards.
• Where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards — the four buying routes compared, and how to check a card before you pay.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold an Annihilape slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Celebi cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Celebi leads at $27,281 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Celebi appears on 3 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 Traditional Chinese printings, 47 Japanese, 1 Korean and 43 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Celebi carries 3 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and a Japanese line that reaches back into the 1990s promo programmes. The head of the list is Celebi V #132 (cs3aC) at $184. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

3. Celebi & Venusaur GX — CSM2bC #1 — $87

2. Celebi & Venusaur GX — CSM2bC #154 — $113

1. Celebi V — cs3aC #132 — $184

This line only yields 3 priced printings for Celebi. Another 2 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

If you want one card

One card, no budget limit:

Celebi V #132 — cs3aC #132. $184, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Celebi & Venusaur GX #1 — CSM2bC #1. $87. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Celebi card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Celebi V #132 carries the highest tracked value at $184. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Celebi cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

3 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Celebi card leads the Japanese list?

Celebi [Gold Star] #4 from Miracle Crystal at $17,249. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Celebi card leads the English list?

Celebi #145 from Skyridge at $27,281.

Why are the Traditional Chinese (1 printings listed here) and Korean (1 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Celebi is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Three more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Traditional Chinese printings, the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Traditional Chinese printings (Taiwan, China / Hong Kong, China)

1 printings

A separate line, and worth keeping separate: the Traditional Chinese cards printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China carry their own set codes (the F series) and their own print runs. The 2000 Traditional Chinese Base Set reaches back to a print that Simplified Chinese never had, and the 30th Celebration run is listed here because the two Chinese lines share it and the marketplace does not separate them.

• Shining Celebi — 30th Celebration #141 — $110

Korean printings

1 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

• Shining Celebi — Shining Legends #4 — $69

A further 8 Korean printings of Celebi sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

More Pokémon

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Celebi slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Tyranitar cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Shining Tyranitar [1st Edition] leads at $21,000 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Tyranitar appears on 3 Chinese-exclusive printings, 2 further Simplified Chinese printings, 1 Traditional Chinese printings, 71 Japanese, 3 Korean and 83 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Tyranitar carries 3 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Tyranitar V #143 (cs3aC) at $216. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

3. Mega Sableye & Tyranitar GX — CSM2cC #45 — $48

2. Mega Sableye & Tyranitar GX — CSM2cC #160 — $180

This line only yields 3 priced printings for Tyranitar. Another 6 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

If you want one card

One card, no budget limit:

Tyranitar V #143 — cs3aC #143. $216, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

One card, a few hundred dollars:

Tyranitar V #143 — cs3aC #143. $216, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Mega Sableye & Tyranitar GX #45 — CSM2cC #45. $48. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Tyranitar card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Tyranitar V #143 carries the highest tracked value at $216. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Tyranitar cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

3 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Tyranitar card leads the Japanese list?

Shining Tyranitar #248 from Darkness, and to Light at $12,000. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Tyranitar card leads the English list?

Shining Tyranitar [1st Edition] #113 from Neo Destiny at $21,000.

Why are the Traditional Chinese (1 printings listed here) and Korean (3 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Tyranitar is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Three more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Traditional Chinese printings, the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Traditional Chinese printings (Taiwan, China / Hong Kong, China)

1 printings

A separate line, and worth keeping separate: the Traditional Chinese cards printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China carry their own set codes (the F series) and their own print runs. The 2000 Traditional Chinese Base Set reaches back to a print that Simplified Chinese never had, and the 30th Celebration run is listed here because the two Chinese lines share it and the marketplace does not separate them.

• Dark Tyranitar — 30th Celebration #144 — $100

Korean printings

3 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

• Tyranitar ex — Ruler of the Black Flame #122 — $49
• Tyranitar — Battle Partners #58 — $45
• Tyranitar — Clay Burst #79 — $36

A further 9 Korean printings of Tyranitar sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

More Pokémon

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

• Chinese Exclusive cards — the full range, in stock and sourced to order.
• All PSA 10 graded cards.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Tyranitar slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Cetitan cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Cetitan leads at $50 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Cetitan appears on 4 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 3 Japanese, 1 Korean and 9 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Cetitan carries 4 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings. The head of the list is Cetitan #2703 (CBB5C) at $47. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

4. Cetitan — CBB5C #2704 — $40

3. Cetitan — CBB5C #2707 — $44

2. Cetitan — CBB5C #2706 — $44

1. Cetitan — CBB5C #2703 — $47

This line only yields 4 priced printings for Cetitan. Another 9 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

3. Cetitan ex — Glory of Team Rocket #32 — $21

2. Cetitan — Paradise Dragona #69 — $24

1. Cetitan ex — Glory of Team Rocket #113 — $34

This line only yields 3 priced printings for Cetitan. Another 6 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The English list

English is the widest printing line of the six, which is why its top ten is the most expensive and the most contested.

9. Cetitan — Promo #63 — $25

8. Cetitan ex — Destined Rivals #65 — $25

7. Cetitan — Surging Sparks #54 — $30

6. Cetitan — Paldea Evolved #55 — $31

5. Cetitan [Reverse Holo] — Surging Sparks #54 — $31

4. Cetitan [Reverse Holo] — Paldea Evolved #55 — $31

3. Cetitan [Holo] — McDonalds 2023 #5 — $32

2. Cetitan ex — Destined Rivals #210 — $34

1. Cetitan — Surging Sparks #201 — $50

This line only yields 9 priced printings for Cetitan.

If you want one card

One card, no budget limit:

Cetitan #2703 — CBB5C #2703. $47, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Cetitan #2704 — CBB5C #2704. $40. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Cetitan card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Cetitan #2703 carries the highest tracked value at $47. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Cetitan cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

4 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Cetitan card leads the Japanese list?

Cetitan ex #113 from Glory of Team Rocket at $34. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Cetitan card leads the English list?

Cetitan #201 from Surging Sparks at $50.

Why are the Korean (1 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Cetitan is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Korean printings

1 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

• Cetitan — Paradise Dragona #69 — $16

A further 5 Korean printings of Cetitan sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Greninja cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Ash Greninja EX [TV Tokyo Lottery] leads at $17,000 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Greninja appears on 4 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 2 Traditional Chinese printings, 49 Japanese, 8 Korean and 36 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Greninja carries 4 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and a Japanese line that reaches back into the 1990s promo programmes. The head of the list is Greninja Ex #242 (csv7C) at $209. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

4. Greninja & Zoroark GX — CSM2cC #46 — $57

This line only yields 4 priced printings for Greninja. Another 1 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

Other Simplified Chinese printings

These are the other Simplified Chinese printings: promos, the reprint sets and the gift-box runs. They sit outside the ranked Chinese-exclusive list because their numbering does not identify a Chinese-only print.

A further 3 Simplified Chinese printings of Greninja sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

If you want one card

One card, no budget limit:

Greninja Ex #242 — csv7C #242. $209, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

One card, a few hundred dollars:

Greninja Ex #242 — csv7C #242. $209, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Greninja & Zoroark GX #46 — CSM2cC #46. $57. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Greninja card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Greninja Ex #242 carries the highest tracked value at $209. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Greninja cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

4 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Greninja card leads the Japanese list?

Ash Greninja EX [TV Tokyo Lottery] #218/XY-P from Promo at $17,000. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Greninja card leads the English list?

Greninja #117 from Unbroken Bonds at $2,150.

Why are the Traditional Chinese (2 printings listed here) and Korean (8 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 2 of them were reduced as well.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Greninja is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Three more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Traditional Chinese printings, the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Traditional Chinese printings (Taiwan, China / Hong Kong, China)

2 printings

A separate line, and worth keeping separate: the Traditional Chinese cards printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China carry their own set codes (the F series) and their own print runs. The 2000 Traditional Chinese Base Set reaches back to a print that Simplified Chinese never had, and the 30th Celebration run is listed here because the two Chinese lines share it and the marketplace does not separate them.

• Greninja BREAK — 30th Celebration #157 — $147
• Greninja ex — 30th Celebration #125 — $109

A further 1 Traditional Chinese printings of Greninja sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Korean printings

8 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

• Mega Greninja ex — Ninja Spinner #120 — $688
• Mega Greninja ex — Ninja Spinner #114 — $466
• Greninja ex — Crimson Haze #90 — $224

A further 7 Korean printings of Greninja sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

More Pokémon

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

• Chinese Exclusive cards — the full range, in stock and sourced to order.
• All PSA 10 graded cards.
• Where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards — the four buying routes compared, and how to check a card before you pay.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Greninja slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Garchomp cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Garchomp leads at $7,000 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Garchomp appears on 6 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 1 Traditional Chinese printings, 44 Japanese, 6 Korean and 45 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Garchomp carries 6 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Garchomp & Giratina GX #174 (CSM2bC) at $184. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

This line only yields 6 priced printings for Garchomp. Another 6 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Garchomp card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Garchomp & Giratina GX #174 carries the highest tracked value at $184. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Garchomp cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

6 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Garchomp card leads the Japanese list?

Garchomp [1st Edition] #57 from Thunder Knuckle at $6,200. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Garchomp card leads the English list?

Garchomp #120 from Plasma Freeze at $7,000.

Why are the Korean (6 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 2 of them were reduced as well.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Garchomp is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Korean printings

6 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

A further 5 Korean printings of Garchomp sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Garchomp slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Rayquaza cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Rayquaza [Gold Star] leads at $365,750 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

Rayquaza appears on 6 Chinese-exclusive printings, 5 further Simplified Chinese printings, 1 Traditional Chinese printings, 115 Japanese, 7 Korean and 78 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

Rayquaza carries 6 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and a Japanese line that reaches back into the 1990s promo programmes. The head of the list is Rayquaza VMAX #165 (CS4bC) at $857. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

How this list was built

Four rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
• The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
• The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
• Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

6. Rayquaza V — CS4bC #97 — $10

5. Rayquaza VMAX — CS4bC #98 — $37

4. Rayquaza VMAX — CS4bC #164 — $78

3. Rayquaza VMAX — CS4bC #156 — $211

2. Rayquaza V — CS4bC #146 — $246

1. Rayquaza VMAX — CS4bC #165 — $857

This line only yields 6 priced printings for Rayquaza. Another 2 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

Other Simplified Chinese printings

These are the other Simplified Chinese printings: promos, the reprint sets and the gift-box runs. They sit outside the ranked Chinese-exclusive list because their numbering does not identify a Chinese-only print.

• Rayquaza GX [5th Anniversary Stamped] — Promo #156/SV-P — $170
• Rayquaza GX — CSM2.1C #53 — $170
• Rayquaza VMAX — CSFC #25 — $138

A further 3 Simplified Chinese printings of Rayquaza sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

The Japanese list

Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

If you want one card

One card, no budget limit:

Rayquaza VMAX #165 — CS4bC #165. $857, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

One card, a few hundred dollars:

Rayquaza VMAX #165 — CS4bC #165. $857, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

One card, under two hundred dollars:

Rayquaza V #97 — CS4bC #97. $10. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Rayquaza card in Simplified Chinese?

Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Rayquaza VMAX #165 carries the highest tracked value at $857. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

How many Rayquaza cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

6 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

Which Rayquaza card leads the Japanese list?

Rayquaza #67 from Clash of the Blue Sky at $60,000. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

Which Rayquaza card leads the English list?

Rayquaza [Gold Star] #107 from Deoxys at $365,750.

Why are the Traditional Chinese (1 printings listed here) and Korean (7 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

What do the marks next to some prices mean?

0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 1 of them were reduced as well.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

The other printing lines

Rayquaza is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Three more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Traditional Chinese printings, the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

Traditional Chinese printings (Taiwan, China / Hong Kong, China)

1 printings

A separate line, and worth keeping separate: the Traditional Chinese cards printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China carry their own set codes (the F series) and their own print runs. The 2000 Traditional Chinese Base Set reaches back to a print that Simplified Chinese never had, and the 30th Celebration run is listed here because the two Chinese lines share it and the marketplace does not separate them.

• Rayquaza ex — 30th Celebration #154 — $117

A further 1 Traditional Chinese printings of Rayquaza sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

Korean printings

7 printings

Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

not ranked here

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

More Pokémon

This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

Where to buy these cards

CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

Other character rankings

Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.

Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.

We do not hold a Rayquaza slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.
