How much is a match Pokémon card worth?

The typical match card costs $1.01. Across the 136 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.29 and the dearest is $121.15 — Ditto 17, at $121.15. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

Card facts are read from openly published card files; prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive. Figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026.

The middle step counts every card that records a artist, including artists too small to have a page of their own. That is why its figure is larger than the totals on the artist list, which only counts the groups it can open.

match Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 144 cards share the artist match. 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.
  • What they cost. The typical card is $1.01. Across the 136 priced cards the range runs $0.29 to $121.15.
  • Where it stands. No. 70 of 130 artists by typical price, with 60 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 85 HP and 44 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fighting.
  • What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 136 cards that carry a price, each with its own price page. Cards without a price are counted in the total but are not listed.
  • When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

How much HP and damage match Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every match 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.

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 144 match cards that carry one. The typical card is 80 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.

Half of these cards sit between 60 and 100 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

Can you still play match 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
144 of the 144 cards print an HP figure, running from 30 to 200 with a middle of 80.
What differs
Attack damage is printed on fewer of them
Only 131 cards print an attack damage number, topping out at 100. 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 120 are Expanded legal, out of 144 on file. The rest are collector cards rather than deck cards.

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.

How match 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 match sits.

Bar length is the typical price against Hikaru Koike, the dearest artist at $129.99. The row without a link is this group.

130 artists in totalSee them all

match is No. 70 of 130 artists by typical price, with 60 of them cheaper and 69 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 match credit, yet they come from 3 different sets.
  • The dearest is Ditto at $121.15.
  • Half of the priced cards cost under $1.01, so these three are not what an ordinary card costs.

Counted by the price of a single card, this name sits at No. 70 of 130, with a median of $1.01. The filled arc is the share of credits priced below it, 46.5%. Drawing many cards and drawing dear ones are two different things.

The same Pokémon under the match 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 Mewtwo as the Pokémon and match as the credit. Side by side, the price gap is the set and the rarity, not the picture.

This site holds no field saying whether an illustration was redrawn or simply reprinted, so no such claim is made on this page.

match Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many match Pokémon cards are there?

There are 144 match cards in this archive, and 136 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 match Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $1.01. Across the 136 priced cards the range runs from $0.29 to $121.15, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive match Pokémon card?

Ditto 17 from HS—Triumphant, at $121.15. It is 120× the typical price of the group.

Are match Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 70 of 130 artists, with 60 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 144 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.7%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all match Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 136 of the 144 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 match 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 94 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are match 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 match Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical match card rose from $0.82 to $1.01, a change of +23.2%. 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 match Pokémon card cost?

One in four match cards costs $0.63 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.29. Three in four cost $3.69 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which match Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Promo is the dearest kind of match card: 14 of them are on file and the middle one costs $28.24. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a match Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among match cards is 200, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 80 HP, with half of them between 60 and 100 — figures counted from the 144 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are match Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

0 of the 144 match cards are legal in Standard today and 120 in Expanded — 0.0% and 83.3% 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 match Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 35 of the 139 match cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 32 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old match Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among match cards the 2010 printings sit at a typical $3.70 and the 2018 ones at $0.38, while the dearest year of all is 2010 at $3.70. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which match Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Psyduck 32 from Boundaries Crossed, which went from $1.52 to $16.43 — a change of +980.9% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 55 match cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have match Pokémon cards?

match cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Boundaries Crossed (7 cards, typically $4.80), Plasma Storm (7 cards, typically $3.28), HS—Unleashed (6 cards, typically $2.18). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
