Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the Froslass cards of the Dragon Ball card games by recorded PSA 10 sale value rather than by asking price, and lists every Froslass printing that has a tracked graded sale.

Six products print Froslass in the Chinese-only sets, and prices exist for one of them. Sixteen Froslass cards are on record; the seven that carry a tracked PSA 10 value all come from Gem Pack Vol. 4, and the other nine — spread across five other products — have no graded sold record at all.

That is what separates this list from the ones around it. Most characters here have cards in several products and a price to go with each. Froslass has the opposite shape: a long catalogue of sixteen prints, and a single group where the market has actually settled. The top of the ranked list is $59.95 and the bottom is $36.99 — a range of $23 covering seven cards, while the other nine sit at nothing.

How this list was built

Three rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CBB4C in all seven cases, with the unpriced prints running through csv7C, csv9.5C, cs3bC, CSM2aC and csv6C. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
• The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Sixteen Froslass cards exist in these sets and seven have a PSA 10 price on record. The nine that do not run from CSM2aC and True Mystery through Blade Awakening, Grand Terastal Gathering and cs3bC — a wider spread of products than the priced cards have. A card with no price cannot be ranked.
• The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.

One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Froslass exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.

The five, ranked

5. Froslass #1202 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $37.41

Raw $1.59 · grade 9 $12.17

The last card in this top five by a margin of five cents, and one of four here priced within half a dollar of each other. Raw copies sit at $1.59 against a grade 9 record of $12.17, so the step from raw to PSA 10 is 23.5 times — high, and typical of the bottom of this list.

4. Froslass #1203 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $37.46

Raw $1.60 · grade 9 $12.19

Five cents above the card below it, and the second of the four near-identical treatments in this group. Its raw price of $1.60 is the third lowest of any Froslass card, and the multiple to PSA 10 is 23.4. Cards four and five here differ in value by five cents and in raw price by a single cent.

3. Froslass #1205 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $40.49

Raw $2.25 · grade 9 $13.07

The first card on this list above $40, and the point at which the group starts to separate. Raw copies are tracked at $2.25 against a grade 9 record of $13.07, a multiple of 18.0. It holds 13.8 percent of everything the character is worth in these sets.

2. Froslass #1206 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $43.35

Raw $2.84 · grade 9 $13.93

The second-highest Froslass card, and the second of the two that stand clear of the pack. Its raw price of $2.84 is the second highest of any Froslass card, and its grade 9 record of $13.93 is also the second highest. The step from raw to PSA 10 is 15.3 times, well below the multiples recorded further down the list.

1. Froslass #1207 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $59.95

Raw $5.50 · grade 9 $17.91

The most valuable Froslass card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one above $50. Its raw price of $5.50 is more than double that of any other Froslass print, and its grade 9 record of $17.91 is the highest in the group — so on this card every grade steps up rather than just the top one. It holds 20.5 percent of the character on its own, the largest single share, and the step from raw to PSA 10 is 10.9 times, the narrowest on the list.

What the ranking shows

Froslass has a wide catalogue and a narrow market. Sixteen cards exist across six products, but every price on this list belongs to a single group of seven, and the spread inside that group is $22.96.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$40 – $100 — ranked 1 to 3	3	$144	49.1%
Under $40 — ranked 4 to 7	4	$149	50.9%
Every priced Froslass card	7	$293	100%

Two further points run across the whole group.

Nine of the sixteen cards have no price, and they cover more products than the priced ones do. The seven priced cards are all from Gem Pack Vol. 4. The nine unpriced cards are spread over CSM2aC, True Mystery, Blade Awakening, Grand Terastal Gathering and cs3bC — five separate products, none of which has produced a graded sale on record for this character. That is not a statement about rarity; it is a statement about where Froslass has been graded and sold, and it means a collector looking for a Froslass card outside Vol. 4 is looking at printings with no established market. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how the Gem Pack groups are built.

Inside the one priced group, the four lowest-priced cards are effectively one price. Ranks four through seven run from $37.46 down to $36.99 — four separate treatments, separated by forty-seven cents in total, with raw prices between $1.50 and $1.60. Only the top two cards pull away, and the gap between first and second alone is $16.60, more than the entire spread of the bottom four.

Where Froslass is printed

Product	Set code	Froslass cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 4	CBB4C	7	7
Blade Awakening	csv7C	3	0
Grand Terastal Gathering	csv9.5C	2	0
cs3bC	cs3bC	2	0
CSM2aC	CSM2aC	1	0
True Mystery	csv6C	1	0
Total		16	7

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 4 supplies the whole ranked list: Froslass occupies a single group there, running #1201 to #1207, which is the seven-card treatment structure the Gem Pack volumes use for every Pokémon they cover. Blade Awakening prints the same card number three times at #59 — a plain version and two ball foils — and contributes no price at all. Grand Terastal Gathering carries two treatments at #44, cs3bC two cards at #175 and #40, CSM2aC one at #32, and True Mystery one Ex print at #137.

Froslass is a fourth-generation Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — she has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. Her priced cards come entirely from the Gem Pack structure, which is why they split into one group of seven and nothing else.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the Vol. 4 print at #1207, at $59.95. It is the highest tracked Froslass card in the language, the only one above $50, and the only card in the group where the grade 9 price is also the highest.
• The card that grades up least: the same #1207, at 10.9 times its raw price. It is the one card on this list where a raw copy of $5.50 already carries a visible share of the graded value, and the narrowest multiple of the seven.
• The lowest entry point: the Vol. 4 print at #1201, at $36.99. It is the last Froslass card in the ranking, and the whole bottom four sit within forty-seven cents of each other, so there is no meaningful difference in price between any of them.

Frequently asked questions

Which Froslass card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The Gem Pack Vol. 4 print at #1207 carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Froslass card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $59.95. It is the only Froslass card in the language above $50, and the next card below it is tracked at $43.35. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Froslass cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Sixteen, across six products, but only seven of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. Those seven are all from Gem Pack Vol. 4. The nine that do not come from Blade Awakening, Grand Terastal Gathering, cs3bC, CSM2aC and True Mystery.

Why do only seven Froslass cards have a price?

Because the Gem Pack Vol. 4 group is the only place this character has been graded and sold in any volume on record. The nine unpriced cards sit in five other products, several of them recent printings that have not yet produced a tracked graded sale. A card with no price cannot be ranked, so the list is short even though the catalogue is not.

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

On the cheaper cards, clearly: the four prints between #1201 and #1204 are tracked raw at $1.50 to $1.60 and graded at $36.99 to $37.46, multiples between 23.4 and 24.7. At the top it narrows — #1207 multiplies 10.9 times — because a raw copy of $5.50 already carries part of the value. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

How does Froslass compare with the other characters ranked here?

Her $293 combined total is among the smallest of the character rankings published on this site, and she is the only one where a majority of the character’s cards carry no price at all. Her top card at $59.95 is well below the ceilings elsewhere — the Gengar, Charizard and Eevee-family rankings all reach into the hundreds. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, and the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Ceruledge and Floragato are ranked separately.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the Flutter Mane cards of the Dragon Ball card games by recorded PSA 10 sale value rather than by asking price, and lists every Flutter Mane printing that has a tracked graded sale.

Flutter Mane has eleven cards in the Chinese-only sets and six of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. All six come from Gem Pack Vol. 4, and together they add to $248.61. Five of the six sit inside $4.72 — and the sixth sits $15.09 above them.

That is the whole shape of this catalogue: one card breaks away and the rest do not. #2807 is tracked at $55.85, which is 37 percent above the card at number two and 22.5 percent of everything the character is worth in the language, against an even share of 16.7 percent. The step down to the second card, at $15.09, is more than three times the entire span of the five cards beneath it — those five run from $40.76 to $36.04. And the separation is not a grading effect: the raw market already places #2807 at $5.56 against $2.30 for the next print, a multiple of 2.4 on ungraded copies alone.

How this list was built

Three rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries the set code CBB4C — Gem Pack Vol. 4. The trailing C marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
• The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Eleven Flutter Mane cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The five that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record cannot be ranked.
• The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.

One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Flutter Mane exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.

The five, ranked

5. Flutter Mane #2805 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $37.17

Raw $1.55 · grade 9 $12.11

Raw copies are tracked at $1.55 against $37.17 graded, a multiple of 24.0. Its grade 9 record of $12.11 is the fifth highest of the six priced cards. It sits $1.85 below the card ranked fourth — the widest step anywhere below the top of this list — and $1.13 above the floor.

4. Flutter Mane #2804 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $39.02

Raw $1.94 · grade 9 $12.66

The fourth card of the run, and the middle of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.94 and grade 9 at $12.66, a multiple of 20.1. It is 75 cents below the card ranked third — the narrowest gap in this ranking — and $1.85 above the card ranked fifth.

3. Flutter Mane #2802 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $39.77

Raw $2.15 · grade 9 $12.87

The second card of the run, and the highest of the five prints below the top. Its raw price of $2.15 is the third highest of the six priced cards, and the multiple from raw to graded is 18.5. It sits 99 cents below the card ranked second and 75 cents above the card ranked fourth.

2. Flutter Mane #2806 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $40.76

Raw $2.30 · grade 9 $13.16

The sixth card of the run, and the only one of the five below the top that clears $40. Its raw price of $2.30 is the highest in the group after the card at number one, and the multiple from raw to graded is 17.7. It sits $15.09 below the card at number one and 99 cents above the card ranked third — one gap of fifteen dollars and one of less than a dollar, in the same list.

1. Flutter Mane #2807 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $55.85

Raw $5.56 · grade 9 $17.62

The most valuable Flutter Mane card in Simplified Chinese by a wide margin. It is the only card in the group above $50, it carries the highest raw price at $5.56 and the highest grade 9 record at $17.62, and its raw price is 2.4 times the next highest in the run. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 10.0 times, the narrowest on this list. It holds 22.5 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent.

What the ranking shows

Flutter Mane is one artwork and seven finishes, of which six carry a value.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$50 and above — ranked 1	1	$55.85	22.5%
$37 to $41 — ranked 2 to 5	4	$156.72	63.0%
Below $37 — ranked 6	1	$36.04	14.5%
Every priced Flutter Mane card	6	$248.61	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

The step at the top is larger than every other step in the list added together. #2807 sits $15.09 above #2806. The four steps beneath that — $0.99, $0.75, $1.85 and $1.13 — come to $4.72 between them, so the single move at the top of this ranking is 3.2 times the entire descent from second place to sixth. Both markets agree on where the break is: the raw price of #2807 is $5.56 against $2.30 for the next print, and the grade 9 record is $17.62 against $13.16. When ungraded, mid-grade and top-grade readings all draw the same line, the line is about the card rather than about grading. Our grading guide covers why a single result can land either side of a recorded average.

Rank the run by raw price, by grade 9 or by PSA 10 and you get the same order — all six positions. #2807 leads on all three, #2803 is last on all three, and the four between them line up identically whichever column you read. The relationship between the top and middle grades is just as settled: the grade 9 record sits between 31.5 and 32.7 percent of the PSA 10 value at every one of the six positions, a band barely more than a percentage point wide. The step from raw to graded moves the other way, from 10.0 times at the top to 26.9 at the bottom, rising at every place in the list. A group that agrees on order across three markets is a group where the tiering is done by collector demand rather than by grading noise. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how these groups are built.

Where Flutter Mane is printed

Product	Set code	Flutter Mane cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 4	CBB4C	7	6
Blade Awakening	csv7C	3	0
Grand Terastal Gathering	csv9.5C	1	0
Total		11	6

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 4 gives Flutter Mane one group running #2801 to #2807, and the price record lists all seven by number alone — no finish names on any of the seven pages, which is not how the volume before it is laid out. Six of the seven carry a graded value. The one that does not is #2801, and its position is worth noting: at $2.04 raw it is the fourth most expensive copy of the seven, ahead of three of the prints that do carry a graded record, so the group holds an unpriced card sitting mid-table on ungraded money. The other four Flutter Mane cards in these sets are the three Blade Awakening printings of #109 and one card from Grand Terastal Gathering, none of them tracked.

Flutter Mane is a ninth-generation Paradox Pokémon from Paldea, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — it has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One Gem Pack group and four unpriced cards from two other products are the whole of its Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: #2807 from Gem Pack Vol. 4, at $55.85. It is the highest tracked Flutter Mane card in the language, the only one above $50, and the highest raw price and the highest grade 9 record in the group.
• The widest step below the top: #2805, at $37.17 graded and $1.55 raw — a multiple of 24.0. The move down to it from the card ranked fourth is $1.85, the largest anywhere beneath the top of this list.
• The floor: #2803, at $36.04 graded and $1.34 raw — a multiple of 26.9. It is the least expensive Flutter Mane card with a tracked value.

Frequently asked questions

Which Flutter Mane card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

#2807 from Gem Pack Vol. 4 carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Flutter Mane card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $55.85. It is $15.09 above the second card, the only Flutter Mane card above $50, and the highest raw price in the group at $5.56. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Flutter Mane cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Eleven, across three products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 4, three from Blade Awakening and one from Grand Terastal Gathering. Six of the eleven carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and all six are Vol. 4 prints. The five that do not are the Vol. 4 card at #2801, the three Blade Awakening printings of #109, and the Grand Terastal Gathering card at #79.

Why does #2807 sit so far above the rest of the group?

Because both markets put it there, not just the graded one. #2807 is tracked at $55.85 graded against $40.76 for the next print, a gap of $15.09 — more than three times the $4.72 that separates second place from sixth. The same card is also the most expensive on raw copies at $5.56 against $2.30 for the next print, a multiple of 2.4, and the highest on grade 9 at $17.62 against $13.16. All three readings draw the line in the same place.

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

The step is narrowest at the top of this list and widest at the bottom, and it moves in one direction the whole way down. #2807 is tracked at $5.56 raw against $55.85 graded, a multiple of 10.0. #2803 is tracked at $1.34 raw against $36.04 graded, a multiple of 26.9. The graded prices differ by $19.81; the raw prices differ by $4.22. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Flutter Mane compare with the other characters ranked here?

Its six prints close inside a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.55 to 1, with five of the six inside $4.72. Among the rankings published on this site so far that fill every place in their list, four close tighter — Vulpix, Clefable, Glaceon and Crocalor. What sets this list apart is not the width but the shape: the top card alone accounts for 22.5 percent of the character, and the step down to second place is larger than all four steps beneath it added together. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the Deoxys cards of the Dragon Ball card games by recorded PSA 10 sale value rather than by asking price, and lists every Deoxys printing that has a tracked graded sale.

Deoxys has nine cards across the Chinese-only sets and four of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. Together they add to $331.77, from $35.97 at the foot of the list to $131.38 at the top — a top-to-bottom ratio of 3.65 to 1. What makes the shape worth reading is that the three price columns each settle on a different card.

Raw copies sort differently again. The alternate-art tag team at #167 is on top at $77.85 — more than twice the raw price of any card that did reach the list — and it has no PSA 10 record at all. The card that does top the list, Deoxys VMAX #154, carries no grade 9 record and is only the third most expensive Deoxys card on raw copies. And the most expensive of the four ranked cards on raw copies, Espeon & Deoxys GX #166 at $34.30, lands third here.

How this list was built

Three rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CS5aC, CSM2bC and csv5C. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
• The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Nine Deoxys cards exist across these sets and four have a PSA 10 price on record. The five that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record cannot be ranked.
• The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.

One exclusion applies here as it does to every character page we publish. Promo printings of Deoxys exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.

A scope note on the tag team. Both Espeon & Deoxys GX prints count as Deoxys cards here, because the card name carries the character, and that is what takes the numbered count below to nine. It is the same treatment Articuno gets for Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX and Psyduck gets for Slowpoke & Psyduck GX.

The four, ranked

1. Deoxys VMAX #154 — CS5aC — $131.38

Raw $26.65 · no grade 9 record

The highest Deoxys card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one above $100. It holds 39.6 percent of the character’s tracked value and sits $44.16 clear of the card ranked second — the widest single step on this list. It is not, however, the most expensive Deoxys card on raw copies, and it is the only card here with no grade 9 record: nothing has sold in that grade often enough to establish a figure. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 4.93 times.

2. Espeon & Deoxys GX #35 — CSM2bC — $87.22

Raw $13.99 · grade 9 $28.17

The lower-numbered of the two Espeon & Deoxys GX prints, and the first card on the list that does not come from CS5aC. Its raw price of $13.99 multiplies 6.23 times into the graded value. Its grade 9 record of $28.17 is 32.3 percent of the PSA 10 figure, the lowest of the three cards here that carry a middle grade. It sits $10.02 above the card ranked third — the narrowest step in this ranking — and $44.16 below the top.

3. Espeon & Deoxys GX #166 — CSM2bC — $77.20

Raw $34.30 · grade 9 $34.99

The most expensive of the four ranked cards on raw copies, at $34.30, and the highest grade 9 record in the group at $34.99 — 45.3 percent of its PSA 10 value, more than twelve points above either of the other two cards with a middle grade. Because the raw price already sits high, the step up to graded is the smallest on the list at 2.25 times. It is $10.02 below the card ranked second and $41.23 above the card ranked fourth.

4. Deoxys #55 — Dark Crystal Blaze (csv5C) — $35.97

Raw $1.47 · grade 9 $11.92

The only card here from a main numbered set, and the only priced Deoxys card below $77. It sits $41.23 under the card ranked third — a gap almost as wide as the one separating the top two. Its raw price of $1.47 is the lowest in the group and multiplies 24.47 times into the graded value, nearly eleven times the multiple on the card above it. Its grade 9 share of 33.1 percent is within a point of the card ranked second.

What the ranking shows

Deoxys splits into three bands across four priced cards, and the two middle positions carry half the total between them.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$131 and above — ranked 1	1	$131.38	39.6%
$77 to $88 — ranked 2 to 3	2	$164.42	49.6%
$36 — ranked 4	1	$35.97	10.8%
Every priced Deoxys card	4	$331.77	100%

Two patterns run across the whole group.

The three price columns each settle on a different card. Raw copies put the alternate-art tag team at #167 first at $77.85, and that card has no PSA 10 record, so it is absent from this list. Grade 9 copies put the other tag team, #166, first at $34.99, and that card ranks third here. PSA 10 copies put Deoxys VMAX #154 first at $131.38, and that card is third among the Deoxys cards that carry a raw price and has no grade 9 record at all. No Deoxys card in these sets leads more than one of the three columns. Looking across the characters in these sets with four or more tracked PSA 10 values, only five others hand their top place to a card with no grade 9 record, so a blank middle column at number one is rare rather than unique.

The step from raw to graded is not the same step twice. Deoxys #55 is tracked at $1.47 raw and $35.97 graded, a multiple of 24.47; Espeon & Deoxys GX #166 is tracked at $34.30 raw and $77.20 graded, a multiple of 2.25. The two ends of that column differ by a factor of nearly eleven, and the reason sits in the raw prices rather than the graded ones: #166 already trades at 44.4 percent of its graded value before it is submitted, while #55 trades at 4.1 percent. A recorded figure is an observation at a date rather than a forecast, and our grading guide covers why one result can land either side of a recorded average.

Where Deoxys is printed

Product	Set code	Deoxys cards	With a PSA 10 value
CS5aC	CS5aC	3	1
CSM2bC	CSM2bC	3	2
Dark Crystal Blaze	csv5C	3	1
Total		9	4

Each of the three products contributes exactly three Deoxys cards, and each contributes a different number of prices. CS5aC supplies a V line — Deoxys V #52, Deoxys VMAX #53 and Deoxys VMAX #154 — of which only the last carries a value. CSM2bC supplies the two Espeon & Deoxys GX prints that are ranked here plus the alternate-art print at #167. Dark Crystal Blaze supplies one card in three finishes: the plain #55, a Poké Ball printing and a Master Ball printing, and only the plain one is priced.

Deoxys is a third-generation Hoenn Pokémon, so it has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters, and it has no card in any of the six Gem Pack volumes. Every one of its nine Chinese-only cards comes out of a main set or a subset. If the goal is the group rather than the single card, completing a Simplified Chinese set sets out what a full run involves.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: Deoxys VMAX #154 from CS5aC, at $131.38. It is the highest Deoxys card in the language, the only one above $100, and 39.6 percent of the character’s tracked value.
• The card with both a raw price and a middle grade: Espeon & Deoxys GX #166 at $77.20, raw $34.30 and grade 9 $34.99. It carries the highest raw price and the highest grade 9 figure of the four ranked cards.
• The entry point: Deoxys #55 from Dark Crystal Blaze at $35.97, raw $1.47. It is the only priced Deoxys card in these sets below $77.

Frequently asked questions

How many Deoxys cards are there in Simplified Chinese?

Nine, across three products: CS5aC, CSM2bC and Dark Crystal Blaze (csv5C), three cards each. Four of the nine carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and the five that do not are Deoxys V #52, Deoxys VMAX #53, the Poké Ball and Master Ball printings of #55, and the alternate-art Espeon & Deoxys GX at #167.

What is the most valuable Deoxys card in Simplified Chinese?

Deoxys VMAX #154 from CS5aC, tracked at $131.38 as a PSA 10 and $26.65 raw. It is the only Deoxys card above $100 and holds 39.6 percent of the character’s tracked value. It carries no grade 9 record, and it is not the most expensive Deoxys card on raw copies — that is the alternate-art print at #167, which has no PSA 10 record.

Why are there two Espeon & Deoxys GX cards on the list?

Because Espeon & Deoxys GX is a tag team card whose name carries Deoxys, so this page counts it alongside Deoxys’ own prints. Two of its three printings in these sets have a tracked PSA 10 value — #35 at $87.22 and #166 at $77.20 — and they rank second and third. The third is the alternate-art print at #167, which carries the highest raw price of any Deoxys card at $77.85 but has no graded PSA 10 record.

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

It depends on the card. Deoxys #55 is tracked at $1.47 raw against $35.97 graded, a multiple of 24.47. Espeon & Deoxys GX #166 is tracked at $34.30 raw against $77.20 graded, a multiple of 2.25. Between them sit #35 at 6.23 and #154 at 4.93. Where the multiple is small, the raw price already carries most of the value. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

How does Deoxys compare with the other characters ranked here?

Its four priced cards span $35.97 to $131.38, a top-to-bottom ratio of 3.65 to 1, with the top card alone at 39.6 percent of the total. The shape that sets the page apart is in which card leads which column rather than in the spread: raw copies, grade 9 copies and PSA 10 copies each put a different Deoxys card first. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Mew, Psyduck, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Mewtwo, Articuno and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in a similar price band include Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor, Quaxwell, Applin and Chandelure.

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.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the Cramorant cards of the Dragon Ball card games by recorded PSA 10 sale value rather than by asking price, and lists every Cramorant printing that has a tracked graded sale.

Cramorant has eleven cards in the Chinese-only sets and seven of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. All seven come from Gem Pack Vol. 4, and they run #2501 to #2507 without a gap — one artwork in every finish the volume issues. Together they add to $286.33, and the only break in the set is at the very top.

The top card is $55.63 and the next is $40.65 — a $14.98 step. Below that step the prices compress hard: five finishes sit inside $3.66 of each other, and from the third card down to the last the whole run covers $2.98. Cramorant is what a Gem Pack group looks like when one finish is clearly wanted and the rest are not, and because the group is complete, there is nothing outside it to confuse the picture.

How this list was built

Three rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries the set code CBB4C — Gem Pack Vol. 4. The trailing C marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
• The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Eleven Cramorant cards exist in these sets and seven have a PSA 10 price on record — every one of the seven Vol. 4 prints. The four that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record cannot be ranked.
• The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.

One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Cramorant exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.

The five, ranked

5. Cramorant #2503 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $38.72

Raw $1.87 · grade 9 $12.55

The third print of the group, and the fifth most valuable card. Raw copies are tracked at $1.87 against $38.72 graded, a multiple of 20.7. It sits four cents below the card ranked fourth and $1.73 above the card ranked sixth — the pair above it is the closest thing in this ranking to a tie.

4. Cramorant #2504 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $38.76

Raw $1.88 · grade 9 $12.57

The fourth print of the group. On all three recorded measures it stands one small step above the card ranked fifth: one cent on the raw price, two cents on the grade 9 value and four cents on the PSA 10 value. The multiple from raw to graded is 20.6. Between this card and the one below it, the whole ranking turns on four cents.

3. Cramorant #2505 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $39.28

Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $12.72

The fifth print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.99 and grade 9 at $12.72, a multiple of 19.7. It is 52 cents above the card ranked fourth and $1.37 below the card ranked second. Its raw price of $1.99 is the third highest in the group, behind the two cards above it.

2. Cramorant #2506 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $40.65

Raw $2.49 · grade 9 $13.13

The sixth print of the group, and the highest card that does not lead the ranking. Raw copies are tracked at $2.49 and grade 9 at $13.13, a multiple of 16.3. It is $1.37 above the card ranked third and $14.98 below the card at number one — the largest single drop in the top half of the list, and the boundary between the two halves of this group.

1. Cramorant #2507 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $55.63

Raw $5.36 · grade 9 $17.54

The most valuable Cramorant card in Simplified Chinese, the last print of the group, and the only one above $41. It is the only card in the group with a raw price above three dollars, and its raw figure of $5.36 is more than twice the next highest. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 10.4 times, the narrowest on this list. It sits $14.98 above the card at number two — more than ten times the gap between the second and third cards. It holds 19.4 percent of the character against an even share of 14.3 percent.

What the ranking shows

Cramorant is one artwork and seven finishes, and the group is complete.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$55 and above — ranked 1	1	$55.63	19.4%
$38 to $41 — ranked 2 to 5	4	$157.41	55.0%
$36 to $38 — ranked 6 to 7	2	$73.29	25.6%
Every priced Cramorant card	7	$286.33	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

Seven consecutive numbers, all of them priced, none of them missing. The Vol. 4 run starts at #2501 and ends at #2507 with no gap, and every one of the seven carries a tracked PSA 10 value. That is not the usual shape. A Gem Pack group is issued as a fixed set of finishes, and it is common for one of them — typically the Poké Ball foil, the most widely distributed print — to have no graded record at all. Cramorant’s group has no such hole, which means the ranking rests on the whole print run rather than on six of seven. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

The middle of the list turns on cents, and the step from raw to graded climbs the further down you go. The fourth and fifth cards are separated by four cents, and the third is 52 cents above them; the middle four prints together span $1.93. Measured as a multiple, the same group behaves in the opposite direction: the top card returns 10.4 times its raw price and the bottom card 26.9, rising at every step down the list. Since a Gem Pack group is one artwork issued at a single rarity, the raw price is mostly a question of supply, and a cheap raw card leaves more room for grading to multiply it. Our grading guide covers why an individual result can land either side of a recorded average.

Where Cramorant is printed

Product	Set code	Cramorant cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 4	CBB4C	7	7
Blade Awakening	csv7C	3	0
Chasing Glory Together	csv10C	1	0
Total		11	7

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 4 gives Cramorant one group running #2501 to #2507, and unlike most characters here it has no unpriced print inside the group — all seven carry a value. The other four Cramorant cards in these sets are one trainer’s Cramorant from Chasing Glory Together and the three Blade Awakening printings of #66, and none of the four has a tracked value. So the whole of the character’s priced catalogue is a single complete Vol. 4 run.

Cramorant is an eighth-generation Galar Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One complete Gem Pack group and four unpriced cards from two other products are the whole of his Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the last print from Gem Pack Vol. 4 at #2507, at $55.63. It is the highest tracked Cramorant card in the language, the only one above $41, and the only card in the group with a raw price above three dollars.
• The two cards that are nearly the same card: #2504 at $38.76 and #2503 at $38.72. They are separated by four cents graded, one cent raw and two cents at grade 9, and they sit side by side in the middle of the run.
• The lowest entry point: #2501, at $36.30. It is the least expensive Cramorant card with a recorded value, and it sits at the floor of a run that starts where the numbering starts.

Frequently asked questions

Which Cramorant card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The last print of the Gem Pack Vol. 4 group — #2507 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Cramorant card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $55.63. It is $14.98 above the second card, the only Cramorant card above $41, and the only one in the group with a raw price above three dollars. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Cramorant cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Eleven, across three products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 4, three from Blade Awakening and one from Chasing Glory Together. Seven of the eleven carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and they are all seven of the Vol. 4 prints. The four that do not are the three Blade Awakening printings of #66 and one trainer’s Cramorant from Chasing Glory Together.

Why are #2503 and #2504 priced so close together?

Because both are prints from the same Gem Pack group, where the finishes are issued at the same rarity and nothing inside the group is scarcer than anything else. #2504 is recorded at $38.76, $1.88 raw and $12.57 at grade 9; #2503 is recorded at $38.72, $1.87 raw and $12.55 at grade 9. The two cards agree to within four cents on the graded value and a cent on the raw price. Recorded prices are secondary-market observations at a point in time, not fixed tags; two prints can agree on one day and drift apart later.

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

It depends on which print in the group. The top card at #2507 is tracked at $5.36 raw against $55.63 graded, a multiple of 10.4 — the smallest step in the list, because a raw copy already carries a real price. The print at #2501 is tracked at $1.35 raw against $36.30 graded, a multiple of 26.9. The graded values differ by $19.33; the raw values differ by about four dollars. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Cramorant compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $286.33 total is in the middle of the pack, but the group behind it is unusually tidy: one complete Gem Pack run, seven consecutive numbers, and a value on every one of them. What makes him worth a page is that completeness set against a single break at the top — a $14.98 step down to a middle of the list that spans $1.93. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the Absol cards of the Dragon Ball card games by recorded PSA 10 sale value rather than by asking price, and lists every Absol printing that has a tracked graded sale.

One Absol card is worth almost half of all the others put together, and nothing sits between them. Eleven Absol cards exist in the Chinese-only sets, nine carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and a single stamped foil holds 47.1 percent of the character at $250 while every other card sits below $38.

That is what separates this list from the ones around it. Between $40 and $249 there is nothing at all — a gap $210 wide that no Absol card fills. Below it, the remaining eight cards bunch into a band barely two dollars deep: the second-highest is $37.17 and the eighth is $35.15. Absol is not a character whose value tapers off; it is one card, a hole, and a flat line.

How this list was built

Three rules, applied in this order.

• The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CBB3C, csv5C and csv8C. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
• The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Eleven Absol cards exist in these sets and nine have a PSA 10 price on record. The two that do not are the Master Ball foil at #83 from Dark Crystal Blaze and the Brilliant Fantasy print at #127, neither of which has a graded sold record yet, and a card with no price cannot be ranked.
• The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.

One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Absol exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.

The five, ranked

5. Absol [Stars] #803 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.73

Raw $1.50 · grade 9 $12.13

The stars-pattern foil from the Vol. 3 group, and one half of a tie: two separate treatments of this character finish at exactly the same value, and this is the second of them. Raw copies sit at $1.50 against a grade 9 record of $12.13, so the step from raw to PSA 10 is 24.5 times.

4. Absol #801 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.74

Raw $1.49 · grade 9 $12.13

The plainest card in the Vol. 3 group, and only a cent above the stars foil below it. Its raw price of $1.49 is the joint-lowest of any Absol card, and the grade 9 record of $12.13 is identical to the two cards either side of it on this list — which is the pattern across the whole bottom of Absol: four treatments, four near-identical prices.

3. Absol [Poke Ball] #83 — Dark Crystal Blaze (csv5C) — $36.99

Raw price not tracked · grade 9 record not available

The only card on this list with neither a raw price nor a grade 9 figure on record, which makes it the one entry whose position rests entirely on PSA 10 sales. It is the Poké Ball treatment of #83, and the same card number appears in two further treatments in this product — one unpriced on this list and one Master Ball foil with no graded record at all.

2. Absol [Masterball] #805 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $37.17

Raw $1.59 · grade 9 $12.27

The highest card here below the stamped foil, and the top of the flat band. Raw copies are tracked at $1.59 and grade 9 at $12.27, so the multiple from raw to PSA 10 is 23.4. It finishes two dollars and two cents above the eighth-placed card, which is the entire spread of everything under the leader.

1. Absol [Stamped] #806 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $250

Raw $2.23 · grade 9 $14.50

The most valuable Absol card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one above $38. It is the stamped foil of the Vol. 3 group, and its raw price of $2.23 is only a few cents above the ordinary prints around it — yet in a PSA 10 holder it is tracked at $250, a multiple of 112.1. That is the eighth-widest step between raw and graded value among the twelve hundred cards in these sets, and it is what puts this single card ahead of the other eight combined. Grade 9 is tracked at $14.50, so the middle grade carries almost none of the premium.

What the ranking shows

Absol’s value is one card and a hole. The leader holds 47.1 percent of the character on its own, the eight cards beneath it together hold 52.9 percent, and nothing at all sits between them.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$250 – $500 — ranked 1	1	$250	47.1%
$100 – $250 — none	0	$0	0%
Under $100 — ranked 2 to 9	8	$281	52.9%
Every priced Absol card	9	$531	100%

Two further points run across the whole group.

Seven cards share a band two dollars wide. Ranks two through eight run from $37.17 down to $35.15 — seven separate treatments, spread across two products, separated by $2.02 in total. The base print, the Master Ball foil, the Poké Ball foil, the stars pattern and the rotary pattern are all priced within pennies of one another, because inside a Gem Pack group the treatments differ in rarity of printing rather than in the amount of the card that is printed. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

The leader is priced as an outlier, not as a rarer version of the same card. Its raw copy is tracked at $2.23 against $1.49 for the ordinary print below it — a difference of seventy-four cents. Graded, the gap becomes $250 against $36.74. Whatever makes the stamped foil scarce is not reflected in the raw market at all, and the entire separation exists in the holder. That is the opposite of how the Gengar and Charizard rankings behave at the top, where the highest cards carry the highest raw prices too.

Where Absol is printed

Product	Set code	Absol cards
Gem Pack Vol. 3	CBB3C	7
Dark Crystal Blaze	csv5C	3
Brilliant Fantasy	csv8C	1
Total		11

The counts are cards, not artworks. Seven of the eleven come from Gem Pack Vol. 3, where Absol occupies a single group: six ordinary treatments running #801 to #806 plus the ex print at #807. That is why the bottom of this list is so crowded and so even — six of the seven Vol. 3 cards sit within two dollars of each other, and the seventh is the stamped foil at the top.

Dark Crystal Blaze prints the same card number three times, at #83, in a plain version and two ball foils; only the Poké Ball treatment has a price on record. Brilliant Fantasy adds one card at #127 with no price at all. Absol is a third-generation Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the stamped foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #806, at $250. It is the highest tracked Absol card in the language by a factor of nearly seven, and its raw copy costs only a few cents more than the ordinary print beside it.
• The card that grades up most: the same #806, at 112.1 times its raw price. Raw copies are tracked at $2.23 and PSA 10 copies at $250 — the eighth-widest step in these sets, and the clearest case here of a printed finish rather than a raw card carrying the price.
• The lowest entry point: the ex print from Vol. 3 at #807, at $25. It is the only Absol card below $35, and it is the one card in the group that carries the ex suffix rather than a foil treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Which Absol card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The stamped foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 — #806 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Absol card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $250. It is the only Absol card in the language above $100, and the next card below it is tracked at $37.17. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

Why is there nothing between $40 and $250?

Because the stamped foil is the only Absol card that the graded market treats as scarce. Every other Absol card is an ordinary treatment inside a Gem Pack group or a ball foil from Dark Crystal Blaze, and those trade in a narrow band under $38. Nine cards, and the distribution has one outlier and no middle — the gap is a fact about how this one character was printed, not a sign that cards between the two prices have been missed.

How many Absol cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Eleven, across three products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 3, three from Dark Crystal Blaze and one from Brilliant Fantasy. Nine of the eleven carry a tracked PSA 10 value; the Master Ball foil at #83 and the Brilliant Fantasy print at #127 do not.

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

On the stamped foil, emphatically: raw copies are tracked at $2.23 and PSA 10 copies at $250, a multiple of 112.1, which is the eighth-widest step among the twelve hundred cards in these sets that carry both prices. Across the rest of the list the multiples are high but consistent — between 17.9 and 29.8 times — because every raw copy here is priced under two dollars. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

How does Absol compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $531 combined total is among the smallest of the character rankings published on this site, and his top card at $250 is the only one of his cards above $40. Internally he is split in two: one card at $250, eight between $25 and $37, and $210 of empty space in between. His top card is worth nearly seven times the next one. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, and the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Ceruledge and Floragato are ranked separately.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) counts the Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards it tracks for the Unova region, character by character, and how many of them carry a PSA 10 price.

Unova characters hold 9 tracked Simplified Chinese cards on this site across 2 characters. 2 of those characters have at least one card with a PSA 10 price. The cards come chiefly from CBB3, Promo, CS4b. The table lists every character we track from the region, most tracked cards first.

Unova is the fifth region, from Victini to Genesect. Chinese printings for the region are thinner than for the early regions, and several of its characters have one tracked card.

Cards for Unova reach the Simplified Chinese line across 3 set codes we track. CBB3 carries the largest share with 7 cards, followed by Promo with 1 card and CS4b with 1 card. Chandelure alone accounts for 8 of the 9 cards and Zoroark adds 1.

National Pokedex	Character	Cards we track	With a PSA 10 price
#609	Chandelure	8	8
#571	Zoroark	1	1

This page is a checklist as much as a count: a character appears only when the Chinese line has printed it, so the table doubles as a quick answer to whether a character exists in Simplified Chinese at all. Characters printed in other languages are outside this view.

Counts are the cards we track, not the printed population of a set. Where a character appears in several treatments inside one set, each treatment is counted on its own row on the character’s page. Set codes are shown the way the release timeline shows them, so one code covers all parts of a set.

Frequently asked questions

How many Unova characters have Chinese cards?

We track 2 Unova characters with Simplified Chinese printings, holding 9 cards between them. Chandelure is the most tracked with 8 cards.

Do Unova cards have PSA 10 prices on this site?

Every Unova character we track has at least one card with a PSA 10 price.

Which sets carry Unova characters?

The main sources are CBB3, Promo, CS4b. Chinese sets mix characters from several regions, so a region page is a view over the whole line rather than a list of sets.

CardSpicy tracks 21 Tag Team GX duos in Simplified Chinese, with 62 printings between them, and every duo listed carries at least one printing with a recorded PSA 10 price.

Tag team GX cards pair two characters on one card. We track 21 duos in Simplified Chinese, with 62 printings between them, all of them printed in the Tag Team era sets of the Chinese line. Every duo in the table has at least one tracked printing with a PSA 10 price.

The table reads the card name as printed and counts one row per distinct printing. Set codes are shown the way the release timeline shows them; a label that has no official code equivalent is left exactly as the record carries it. One duo can appear in more than one code.

Naming on the source records is not fully consistent, and the same duo can be listed with the two names in either order. Where that happens the table counts the duo once, under the name the majority of records use.

Frequently asked questions

How many tag team GX cards exist in Simplified Chinese?

We track 21 duos with 62 printings in Simplified Chinese. The count covers the cards this site follows, not a census of every tag team printing.

Which tag team has the most printings?

Pikachu & Zekrom leads with 5 tracked printings.

Are tag team cards still being printed?

Tag team GX is a mechanic of the Tag Team era. The later Chinese sets moved on to other mechanics, so the duos come from a bounded group of sets.

Quick answer

Striking Competition was released on 17 March 2023 under CSM2.5, in the Sun & Moon era of the Simplified Chinese line. It is a booster deck rather than a numbered main set, which is what the .5 marks. This page is the checklist we hold for it.

We currently track 22 cards in this set, covering 11 characters. The deepest single group is Charizard at 4 tracked printings. The table below lists them by the number printed on the card.

Charizard, Venusaur and Jigglypuff lead the deck at four tracked cards each, with Persian close behind at three. A booster deck is a fixed product rather than a set to open pack by pack, which is why the cards in it are collected by deck rather than by set number.

This is the set view. If you are following one Pokemon across every set instead, the per-character table is the other way to read the same catalogue.

22 tracked cards. Where we hold a graded copy its price is linked in the table; where we do not, the row is a sourcing request — send it and we go and find the card for you. The sealed Booster Box for this deck is listed here.

Frequently asked questions

What is Striking Competition?

It is a main set of the Simplified Chinese branch, printed under CSM2.5 and released on 17 March 2023. It sits in the Sun & Moon era of the Chinese line.

How many cards from this set do you track?

The figure at the top of this page is current as of 4 October 2026 and is drawn from our own catalogue. It covers every card from the set we have handled or priced, and it grows as we work through more of it.

What is a booster deck, and why does the code have a .5 in it?

A booster deck is a fixed product released alongside a main set, and the .5 in its code marks it as sitting between two main sets rather than being one of them. It is bought as a built deck rather than opened pack by pack, which is why it is listed here as its own line.

Are these the complete printed set?

No. This is the set as we hold it, not the set as printed. A main set prints more cards than we list here, and we add rows as we take on more product. Nothing is invented to fill a gap.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) counts the Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards it tracks for the Sinnoh region, character by character, and how many of them carry a PSA 10 price.

Sinnoh characters hold 62 tracked Simplified Chinese cards on this site across 5 characters. 5 of those characters have at least one card with a PSA 10 price. The cards come chiefly from CBB2, CS4a, CBB3, CSM2b, csv5C. The table lists every character we track from the region, most tracked cards first.

Sinnoh is the fourth region, from Turtwig to Arceus. Its Chinese printings are concentrated in the Tag Team era, where Garchomp and Giratina headline a tag team of their own.

Cards for Sinnoh reach the Simplified Chinese line across 11 set codes we track. CBB2 carries the largest share with 29 cards, followed by CS4a with 12 cards and CBB3 with 7 cards. Leafeon alone accounts for 25 of the 62 cards, Glaceon adds 21 and Darkrai 7.

Quick answer

Simplified Chinese Pokemon cards have run on 18 main sets since the language launched on 28 October 2022, when Storming Emergence arrived. The line runs through three eras — two Sun and Moon sets, six Sword and Shield sets and ten Scarlet and Violet sets — and reaches Together in Pursuit of Glory, released 16 July 2026. Alongside the main sets sit the Gem Pack volumes, the four Collect 151 editions and the 30th Celebration release, which do not carry set numbers in the same way.

This page is the release timeline. If you are holding a code and want to decode it rather than date it, the page for that is how to read a Simplified Chinese set code, and the full code list is the reference table behind this one.

Why the timeline begins in October 2022

The Simplified Chinese branch did not grow out of the Japanese or English lines; it was built for the mainland China market and started from zero. The official announcement came in September 2022 and the first product shipped on 28 October 2022. That is the reason every date on this page sits inside a four-year window: before late 2022 there is no Simplified Chinese set to date at all.

Because the format started late, it has been catching up ever since, and the pace of that catch-up is the single most useful thing on this page. A collector who knows how fast the sets arrive can judge how long a new card will stay the newest thing in the format before the next wave moves it along.

Every main set, in order

The table is the spine of the branch: 18 main sets, one release date each, in the order they shipped. Everything else on this page — the booster decks, the Gem Pack volumes, the Collect 151 editions — is a side line hanging off this spine.

The Sun and Moon era: October 2022 to January 2023

The branch opened on the Sun and Moon era, and it opened carefully. Two main sets in the first four months, then a pause before the era mark changed:

• Storming Emergence (CSM1a) — 28 October 2022
• Shining Synergy (CSM2a) — 18 January 2023

A single booster deck, Battle Elite (CSM1.5), filled the gap between the two sets in December 2022. This is the thinnest stretch of the whole record and the one where the least artwork was commissioned, which matters to anyone working backwards from a card in hand to the set it came from.

The Sword and Shield era: May 2023 to November 2024

From May 2023 the branch found its rhythm. Six main sets in eighteen months, each roughly three months after the last, with a booster deck in the gaps:

• Dynamax Clash (CS1a) — 19 May 2023
• Vivid Portrayals (CS2a) — 18 August 2023
• Primordial Arts (CS3a) — 17 November 2023
• Polychromatic Gathering (CS4a) — 1 March 2024
• Gallant Galaxy (CS5a) — 18 June 2024
• Marine Shadow (CS6a) — 20 September 2024

The booster decks are easy to miss because they share the code shape of the main sets — CSM1.5, CSM2.5, CS1.5, CS2.5, CS3.5, CS4.5, CS5.5, CS6.5, CSV9.5 — but they are separate products with their own card lists. A code with a .5 in it is a booster deck, not a main set.

The Scarlet and Violet era: January 2025 to July 2026

The current era is the densest. Ten main sets in nineteen months, and the first time the branch ran a main set, a Gem Pack volume and a Collect 151 edition on the same day:

• Ancient Times, Future Progress (CSV1) — 17 January 2025
• Miracle Journey (CSV2) — 21 March 2025
• Fearless Terastal (CSV3) — 16 May 2025
• Bonus Round (CSV4) — 18 July 2025
• Ardent Obsidian (CSV5) — 12 September 2025
• Arcane Truth (CSV6) — 7 November 2025
• Blade Awakening (CSV7) — 16 January 2026
• Sparkling Fable (CSV8) — 13 March 2026
• Stellar Crystal (CSV9) — 15 May 2026
• Together in Pursuit of Glory (CSV10) — 16 July 2026

The era also changed how the branch relates to the Japanese line. Where the early Chinese sets combined several Japanese releases at once, the Scarlet and Violet sets have tracked the current generation much more closely as it released, which is part of why the pool of Chinese-only artwork grew so quickly inside this era.

The side lines: Gem Pack, Collect 151 and the 30th

Three products sit beside the main sets and do not count with them. Gem Pack is an all-foil mini set organised by Pokemon rather than by a numbered checklist, and it launched in the Scarlet and Violet era:

Product	Code	Released
Gem Pack Vol. 1	CBB1	17 January 2025
Gem Pack Vol. 2	CBB2	16 May 2025
Gem Pack Vol. 3	CBB3	26 September 2025
Gem Pack Vol. 4	CBB4	6 February 2026
Gem Pack Vol. 5	CBB5	24 April 2026
Gem Pack Vol. 6	CBB6	7 August 2026

Collect 151 is the Chinese take on the 151 set, released in four editions through 2025, each adding its own Pikachu art rare:

Product	Code	Released
Collect 151 Journey	151C	17 January 2025
Collect 151 Hope	151C	18 April 2025
Collect 151 Surprise	151C	18 July 2025
Collect 151 Gathering	151C	17 October 2025

30th Celebration followed on 26 February 2026 as a global simultaneous release, and it is the anniversary line the branch shares with the other languages rather than one it owns. Between them, these three lines are the reason the newest cards on the site are not always the newest main set.

What the pace tells a collector

Read as a rate rather than a list, the record says three things. The branch started slow: one set in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, then six in 2025 and four by July of 2026, so the busy years are the recent ones. The average gap between main sets is about 80 days, but the average hides the change — the gaps early on were longer and the later ones shorter. And the era marks line up with the acceleration: the switch to the Scarlet and Violet mark in January 2025 is the same moment the branch began running two or three products at once.

For a collector the practical use is scarcity by age. A card from the Sun and Moon era has had the longest to be absorbed and the fewest companions printed beside it, while a card from the current era shares its shelf with a main set, a Gem Pack volume and a promo line all within a few months. The date in the table is the first thing to check before any other question about a Chinese card.

Frequently asked questions

When did Simplified Chinese Pokemon cards start?

The language launched on 28 October 2022 with its first set, Storming Emergence, marked CSM1a to CSM1c. Everything on this page happens after that date, so the whole Simplified Chinese branch is a little under four years old.

How many main Simplified Chinese sets have there been?

Eighteen main sets, from Storming Emergence in October 2022 to Together in Pursuit of Glory in July 2026. They run across three era marks: two Sun and Moon sets, six Sword and Shield sets, and ten Scarlet and Violet sets.

Why do early sets use CSM and CS codes, and later ones CSV?

The letters are the era, not the language. CSM marks the Sun and Moon era, CS the Sword and Shield era, and CSV the Scarlet and Violet era. The trailing C is the part that means Simplified Chinese; it is printed on every card of the branch, whatever the era.

How often does a new Simplified Chinese set come out?

The eighteen main sets land across roughly 1357 days, an average of about 80 days apart. The rhythm was slower at the start and faster after the Scarlet and Violet era began, when the branch settled into a new main set about every two months.

Are the Simplified Chinese sets translated from the Japanese or English ones?

They combine source sets rather than translate one line. An early Simplified Chinese set drew its cards from several Japanese releases at once, which is why one Chinese set can read as the equivalent of more than one Japanese set. That is also why the codes do not line up with the Japanese ones.
