How the Pokémon index works

Chain-linked daily: every card that had a market price both today and yesterday moves the index by the ratio of the two sums. New printings enter the sample the day after they get a price, so a set release does not jump the line. Base 100 on February 8, 2024. The grey line is the whole market on the same method.

Questions people ask

5 answers
How much are Pokémon cards worth?

Most are worth very little and a few are worth a lot. Of 42,707 priced Pokémon printings we track, 50% sell for under a dollar, 9,585 clear $10 and 1,796 clear $100. The current top of the market is Mewtwo Star at $9,200.00. That shape is normal for a trading card game: the value sits in a thin sliver at the top.

How do I check the price of one specific Pokémon card?

Look up the printing, not the name. The same card can exist in dozens of versions across sets and finishes, and they do not share a price. Search the card name, then pick the row that matches your set, collector number and finish — the page shows the market price, the cheapest and highest listings, and the full history. Start from the Pokémon card list.

Which Pokémon set is worth the most?

By the total market value of its cards, Legendary Collection is the heaviest set we track for Pokémon. All 217 sets are listed in release order on the set page, with the value of each.

How often do Pokémon prices update here?

Every day. We read market prices daily and keep the full history since 8 February 2024, so every number on the site comes with the chart that produced it. Last update: Oct 17, 2026. The full procedure is on the methodology page.

Do these prices assume a graded card?

No. Every price is for a near-mint, ungraded copy — the condition the market quotes. A played copy sells for noticeably less; a professionally graded one can sell for several times more. We do not track graded prices.
