Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 51 cards share the artist Satoshi Shirai. 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 $0.88. Across the 51 priced cards the range runs $0.22 to $380.00.
  • Where it stands. No. 76 of 130 artists by typical price, with 54 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 144 HP and 88 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fire.
  • What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 51 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 Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards print

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

What differs
Attack damage is printed on fewer of them
Only 47 cards print an attack damage number, topping out at 220. 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
4 are Standard legal and 51 are Expanded legal, out of 51 on file. The rest are collector cards rather than deck cards.

The cheapest Satoshi Shirai 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 Satoshi Shirai collection is what it costs to get in.
The 6 cheapest Satoshi Shirai 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 $1.70, against $380.00 for the single dearest Satoshi Shirai card. The two ends of the same group sit 1,727× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Satoshi Shirai".

How Satoshi Shirai 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 Satoshi Shirai 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

Satoshi Shirai is No. 76 of 130 artists by typical price, with 54 of them cheaper and 75 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 name51 of the 51 cards on file have a price

Counted by the price of a single card, this name sits at No. 76 of 130, with a median of $0.88. The filled arc is the share of credits priced below it, 41.9%. Drawing many cards and drawing dear ones are two different things.

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

What is certain
Same Pokémon, same credit
What differs
$33.21 against $22.31
What is not claimed
Redrawn or reprinted is not recorded

Both cards name Blastoise as the Pokémon and Satoshi Shirai as the credit, yet the dearer printing asks $33.21 against $22.31. 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.

Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards are there?

There are 51 Satoshi Shirai cards in this archive, and 51 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 Satoshi Shirai Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.88. Across the 51 priced cards the range runs from $0.22 to $380.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Satoshi Shirai Pokémon card?

Tyranitar XY130 from XY Black Star Promos, at $380.00. It is 432× the typical price of the group.

Are Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 76 of 130 artists, with 54 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 51 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 Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 51 of the 51 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 Satoshi Shirai 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 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Satoshi Shirai 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 Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Satoshi Shirai card rose from $0.71 to $0.88, a change of +23.9%. 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 Satoshi Shirai Pokémon card cost?

One in four Satoshi Shirai cards costs $0.54 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.22. Three in four cost $2.44 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Ultra is the dearest kind of Satoshi Shirai card: 4 of them are on file and the middle one costs $3.59. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Satoshi Shirai Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Satoshi Shirai cards is 330, and the lowest is 50. The typical one is 130 HP, with half of them between 100 and 175 — figures counted from the 51 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

4 of the 51 Satoshi Shirai cards are legal in Standard today and 51 in Expanded — 7.8% 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 Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fire — 18 of the 50 Satoshi Shirai cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Grass next at 8 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Satoshi Shirai cards the 2013 printings sit at a typical $25.07 and the 2021 ones at $1.50, while the dearest year of all is 2013 at $25.07. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Satoshi Shirai Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Tyranitar XY130 from XY Black Star Promos, which went from $78.36 to $380.00 — a change of +384.9% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 17 Satoshi Shirai cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Satoshi Shirai Pokémon cards?

Satoshi Shirai cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Lost Thunder (3 cards, typically $1.60), Unbroken Bonds (3 cards, typically $0.57), Ancient Origins (2 cards). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Satoshi Shirai 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.
