How much HP and damage Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Hisao Nakamura card prints the same number or they run from one end of the scale to the other. These five points show which of the two is happening.

Can you still play Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?

What these cards are like in a deck, read off the boxes printed on them.

What is certain

HP is printed on most of these cards

72 of the 72 cards print an HP figure, running from 30 to 150 with a middle of 70.

What differs

Attack damage is printed on fewer of them

Only 65 cards print an attack damage number, topping out at 80. A blank damage box does not mean a weak card — it means this count does not read it.

What you can act on

Most of these cards are no longer tournament legal

0 are Standard legal and 1 are Expanded legal, out of 72 on file. The rest are collector cards rather than deck cards.

The cheapest Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards you can buy

Every list on this page so far has run from the top down. This one runs from the bottom, because the first question of anyone starting a Hisao Nakamura collection is what it costs to get in.

The 6 cheapest Hisao Nakamura cards on file

Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.

These six together cost $17.80, against $335.66 for the single dearest Hisao Nakamura card. The two ends of the same group sit 579× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Hisao Nakamura".

130 artists in totalSee them all

Hisao Nakamura is No. 5 of 130 artists by typical price, with 125 of them cheaper and 4 dearer. Rank is not the same as scarcity: a group can rank high because a handful of its cards are chased, while most of it stays affordable — the price ladder above shows which of those two is happening here.

What the three have in common, and what they do not

All three carry the Hisao Nakamura credit, yet they come from 3 different sets.
The dearest is Tyranitar ex at $335.66.
Half of the priced cards cost under $24.91, so these three are not what an ordinary card costs.

Counted by the price of a single card, this name sits at No. 5 of 130, with a median of $24.91. The filled arc is the share of credits priced below it, 96.9%. Drawing many cards and drawing dear ones are two different things.

The same Pokémon under the Hisao Nakamura credit, printed more than once

When one Pokémon carries this credit on more than one card, the two printings rarely cost the same. Here is a pair from the priced list.

Both cards name Scizor as the Pokémon and Hisao Nakamura as the credit. Side by side, the price gap is the set and the rarity, not the picture.

What differs

$188.99 against $69.17

What is not claimed

Redrawn or reprinted is not recorded

Both cards name Scizor as the Pokémon and Hisao Nakamura as the credit, yet the dearer printing asks $188.99 against $69.17. What separates them here is the set and the rarity printed on the card. This site holds no field saying whether an illustration was redrawn or simply reprinted, so no such claim is made on this page.

Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards are there?

There are 72 Hisao Nakamura cards in this archive, and 66 of them carry a price. The artist is the illustrator credited on the printed card, recorded with each card in the card files this site reads. One illustrator can appear across many expansions and many decades, so this axis cuts the archive by hand rather than by release.

How much is a Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $24.91. Across the 66 priced cards the range runs from $0.58 to $335.66, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card?

Tyranitar ex 17 from POP Series 1, at $335.66. It is 13× the typical price of the group.

Are Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 5 of 130 artists, with 125 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 72 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.4%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 66 of the 72 carry a price on file. The rest have never been listed at a price this archive could read, so they are counted in the card total but left out of every price figure rather than guessed at.

Where can I see every Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 50 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 22 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card prices updated?

Prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings. The figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026. Which cards belong to this group comes from openly published card files and changes only when a new set is added.

Are Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Hisao Nakamura card rose from $10.18 to $24.91, a change of +144.7%. That is the middle of the whole group, so it describes an ordinary card of this kind rather than the headline one at the top.

How much does a cheap Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card cost?

One in four Hisao Nakamura cards costs $13.21 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.58. Three in four cost $43.03 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Holo is the dearest kind of Hisao Nakamura card: 11 of them are on file and the middle one costs $58.52. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Hisao Nakamura cards is 150, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 70 HP, with half of them between 50 and 80 — figures counted from the 72 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

0 of the 72 Hisao Nakamura cards are legal in Standard today and 1 in Expanded — 0.0% and 1.4% of the group. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year even though the cards do not change.

What are Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Psychic — 19 of the 72 Hisao Nakamura cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Lightning next at 18 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Hisao Nakamura Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Hisao Nakamura cards the 2003 printings sit at a typical $35.64 and the 2006 ones at $25.87, while the dearest year of all is 2003 at $35.64. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Hisao Nakamura Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Corphish 54 from Dragon, which went from $3.06 to $34.22 — a change of +1,018.3% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 62 Hisao Nakamura cards that carried a price on both days.
