How far apart are the Forretress prints in price?

This name was printed 25 times across different sets. Some share the very same artwork in a different edition; others carry different art or different attacks under the same name. Set, rarity and version, not the Pokémon, decide the gap between them.

Bar height and the number above each bar = prints that year; the two digits below = the year.

The cards themselves are identical. Same 70 HP, same attacks. What splits the price is not the card but which box it came out of — the rarity mark and the size of the set together decide how hard one was to pull.

Put the rarity marks and the set sizes side by side and the order explains itself: the smaller the set and the scarcer the mark, the dearer the print.

Who illustrated Forretress H8?

Midori Harada is credited on 353 cards in this archive. The prints above are the ones that currently carry the highest prices, which is the quickest way to see the kind of card this artist tends to be given.

An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.

The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.

What makes the price of Forretress

  1. Forretress — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
  2. Rare Holo — Skyridge, so supply came from how many packs of that set were opened, at the rate this rarity is inserted
  3. Illustrated by Midori Harada — a sorting axis, not a price driver
  4. Stage 1 — the class it was printed as, and the group its price is measured against

What holds the price where it is

  • Legal in Unlimited only, so it is not bought to fill a tournament deck
  • A card that anything can remove in one turn is a card fewer decks carry, and demand is part of what a price is

Which Pokémon cards moved most since yesterday?

Measured across 30,444 priced cards between August 13, 2026 and August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 and moves under half a percent are left out, because rounding alone can produce them.

Both lists are recalculated once a day, after the source archive is refreshed — the readings compared here are August 13, 2026 against August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 are left out of the ranking, because a one-cent move on a card worth a few cents becomes a double-digit percentage and would bury everything else.

All 23 cards of this Pokémon, on their own page

Turning the page does not change the address of this page — all 23 cards sit on this one page, 50 at a time. Cards with no published image still hold their place in the grid, showing name, set and number, so the count above stays true.

Grouping by the Pokémon answers "is mine the expensive one". Grouping by the exact name answers "am I looking at the print I think I am". The two questions land buyers in very different places, which is why they are kept apart here.

Forretress H8 price — frequently asked questions

How much is Forretress H8 worth?

Forretress H8 has no recorded market price on the latest snapshot, so no ungraded value can be quoted yet.

Is Forretress H8 rare?

Forretress H8 is a Rare Holo, which means it was pulled from Skyridge packs at the rate that rarity is inserted into them. Its supply is set by how many packs were opened, and it carries the set number printed under the picture.

Why is another Forretress selling for much more?

Forretress was printed in 25 different sets. The artwork looks alike, but the set name and the card number under the picture are different, and so is the price. Check the number before you buy.

Should I get Forretress graded?

No grading figure for Forretress H8 is published here. Graded prices and population counts come from paid grading services under commercial plans that are not in use on this site, so the question cannot be answered with data. What can be said is the ungraded price above, which is the floor any grading decision starts from.

Is the German or French Forretress cheaper?

No. The six European language printings of Forretress share one product record, so they trade at the same price. Only the Japanese release is a separate card, because Japan uses a different set and numbering system.

Does tournament play affect what Forretress H8 sells for?

Yes, and mostly by keeping it out. Forretress H8 is legal in Unlimited only, so it is not bought to fill a competitive deck — its price is set by collectors instead, which is why it moves with condition and print rather than with the season's results.

Do these Forretress prices include shipping or tax?

No. Every figure on this page is the listed price of Forretress H8 itself. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller.

How often does the Forretress H8 price update?

Once a day, once a market snapshot exists. No daily reading has been recorded for Forretress H8 yet.
