Back to summaryHow much HP and damage Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards print
An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Ken Sugimori 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.
| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 30 | 50 | 60 | 80 | 190 | 849 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 170 | 795 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 849 Ken Sugimori cards that carry one. The typical card is 60 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 50 and 80 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 15.8% of the highest | 30 HP |

| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 190 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 795 Ken Sugimori cards that print one. The typical card hits for 30. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 20 and 40. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

What are Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards weak to?

What Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards resist — 229 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.

Can you still play Ken Sugimori 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
849 of the 1,108 cards print an HP figure, running from 30 to 190 with a middle of 60.
What differs
Attack damage is printed on fewer of them
Only 795 cards print an attack damage number, topping out at 170. 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
8 are Standard legal and 259 are Expanded legal, out of 1,108 on file. The rest are collector cards rather than deck cards.

The 6 cheapest Ken Sugimori 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 $0.94, against $820.00 for the single dearest Ken Sugimori card. The two ends of the same group sit 8,200× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Ken Sugimori".
How Ken Sugimori compares with the other artists
Every artist in this list is ranked by its typical price. The bar is that price against the dearest group, and the highlighted row is where Ken Sugimori sits.
130 artists in totalSee them all
Ken Sugimori is No. 25 of 130 artists by typical price, with 105 of them cheaper and 24 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.

The three dearest cards carrying this name
What the three have in common, and what they do not
- All three carry the Ken Sugimori credit, yet they come from 3 different sets.
- The dearest is Blastoise at $820.00.
- Half of the priced cards cost under $6.35, so these three are not what an ordinary card costs.
No. 25of 130
Counted by the price of a single card, this name sits at No. 25 of 130, with a median of $6.35. The filled arc is the share of credits priced below it, 81.4%. Drawing many cards and drawing dear ones are two different things.
The same Pokémon under the Ken Sugimori 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 Alakazam as the Pokémon and Ken Sugimori as the credit. Side by side, the price gap is the set and the rarity, not the picture.

What differs

What is not claimed
Redrawn or reprinted is not recorded
Both cards name Alakazam as the Pokémon and Ken Sugimori as the credit, yet the dearer printing asks $321.10 against $290.32. 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.

How many Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards are there?
There are 1,108 Ken Sugimori cards in this archive, and 1,062 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 Ken Sugimori Pokémon card worth?
The typical one costs $6.35. Across the 1,062 priced cards the range runs from $0.10 to $820.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.
What is the most expensive Ken Sugimori Pokémon card?
Blastoise 2 from Base, at $820.00. It is 129× the typical price of the group.
Are Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards rare?
By price they rank No. 25 of 130 artists, with 105 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 1,108 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 5.4%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.
Do all Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards have a price?
No. 1,062 of the 1,108 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 Ken Sugimori 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 1,058 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.
How often are Ken Sugimori 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 Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards going up in value?
Over the last 11 months the typical Ken Sugimori card rose from $3.46 to $6.35, a change of +83.5%. 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 Ken Sugimori Pokémon card cost?
One in four Ken Sugimori cards costs $1.74 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.10. Three in four cost $24.32 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.
Which Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards are worth the most?
Sorted by rarity, Rare Shining is the dearest kind of Ken Sugimori card: 5 of them are on file and the middle one costs $471.66. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.
What is the highest HP on a Ken Sugimori Pokémon card?
The highest printed HP among Ken Sugimori cards is 190, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 60 HP, with half of them between 50 and 80 — figures counted from the 849 cards in this group that print an HP value.
Are Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?
8 of the 1,108 Ken Sugimori cards are legal in Standard today and 259 in Expanded — 0.7% and 23.4% 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 Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards weak to?
Most often Psychic — 166 of the 806 Ken Sugimori cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fighting next at 155 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.
Are old Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?
Not simply by age. Among Ken Sugimori cards the 1999 printings sit at a typical $41.59 and the 2022 ones at $0.23, while the dearest year of all is 2001 at $445.00. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.
Which Ken Sugimori Pokémon card rose the most this year?
Jirachi XY195 from XY Black Star Promos, which went from $1.52 to $16.21 — a change of +966.4% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 791 Ken Sugimori cards that carried a price on both days.
Which sets have Ken Sugimori Pokémon cards?
Ken Sugimori cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Gym Challenge (100 cards, typically $12.14), Gym Heroes (95 cards, typically $10.83), Base Set 2 (52 cards, typically $2.60). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
How these Ken Sugimori figures are collected, and where you can check them

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Ken Sugimori cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
