How much HP and damage NC Empire Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every NC Empire 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 NC Empire 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

32 of the 36 cards print an HP figure, running from 50 to 190 with a middle of 120.

What differs

Attack damage is printed on fewer of them

Only 31 cards print an attack damage number, topping out at 250. 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

15 are Standard legal and 36 are Expanded legal, out of 36 on file. The rest are collector cards rather than deck cards.

130 artists in totalSee them all

NC Empire is No. 104 of 130 artists by typical price, with 26 of them cheaper and 103 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 NC Empire credit, yet they come from 3 different sets.
The dearest is Charizard at $580.92.
Half of the priced cards cost under $0.39, so these three are not what an ordinary card costs.

Counted by the price of a single card, this name sits at No. 104 of 130, with a median of $0.39. The filled arc is the share of credits priced below it, 20.2%. Drawing many cards and drawing dear ones are two different things.

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

What differs

$5.35 against $5.22

What is not claimed

Redrawn or reprinted is not recorded

Both cards name Agatha as the Pokémon and NC Empire as the credit, yet the dearer printing asks $5.35 against $5.22. 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.

NC Empire Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many NC Empire Pokémon cards are there?

There are 36 NC Empire cards in this archive, and 35 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 NC Empire Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.39. Across the 35 priced cards the range runs from $0.16 to $580.92, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive NC Empire Pokémon card?

Charizard SWSH066 from SWSH Black Star Promos, at $580.92. It is 1,490× the typical price of the group.

Are NC Empire Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 104 of 130 artists, with 26 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 36 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.2%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all NC Empire Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 35 of the 36 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 NC Empire Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 36 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 0 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are NC Empire 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 NC Empire Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical NC Empire card rose from $0.33 to $0.39, a change of +18.2%. 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 NC Empire Pokémon card cost?

One in four NC Empire cards costs $0.27 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.16. Three in four cost $3.03 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which NC Empire Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Promo is the dearest kind of NC Empire card: 5 of them are on file and the middle one costs $1.99. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a NC Empire Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among NC Empire cards is 190, and the lowest is 50. The typical one is 120 HP, with half of them between 88 and 133 — figures counted from the 32 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are NC Empire Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

15 of the 36 NC Empire cards are legal in Standard today and 36 in Expanded — 41.7% and 100.0% 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 NC Empire Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 6 of the 32 NC Empire cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Grass next at 6 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old NC Empire Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among NC Empire cards the 2019 printings sit at a typical $5.58 and the 2023 ones at $1.46, while the dearest year of all is 2019 at $5.58. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which NC Empire Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Lucario SWSH186 from SWSH Black Star Promos, which went from $1.91 to $5.58 — a change of +192.1% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 11 NC Empire cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have NC Empire Pokémon cards?

NC Empire cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Chilling Reign (5 cards, typically $0.45), Darkness Ablaze (4 cards, typically $0.33), Battle Styles (3 cards, typically $0.38). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
