Which print variants of 196 exist, and what do they cost?

Zamazenta V 196 is on record in the Holofoil finish, and that is the only finish this site holds a price for. Any other finish is marked no price record below, which is not the same as saying the card was never printed that way.

The area outside the picture catches the light

The border around the artwork is foiled instead.

This pane is Morpeko V 190, a card from the same set, borrowed so the two finishes can be compared side by side. Zamazenta V 196 has no Reverse Holofoil on record here, and that is a statement about our price record rather than a claim about what was printed.

The left pane is Zamazenta V 196. The right pane is a different card, standing in so the two finishes can be held side by side — this card has no Reverse Holofoil on record here. Compare where the light sits, not the cards themselves. If you have motion reduced on your device the tilt stops and only the light remains.

On cards that were given several finishes the gap is wide — an early 1st Edition print can run five to eight times the plain one. Same artwork, same number, and the price is decided by a single mark under the picture.

Zamazenta V 196 carries none of that risk here, because one finish is all this site holds a price for. The flip side is that there is no print premium showing in these figures — what moves this price is the grade and whether the copy is genuine.

How far apart are the Zamazenta V prints in price?

This name was printed 16 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 230 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.

A price quoted in euros moves with the exchange rate, and an order that crosses a border can pick up import duty on arrival, so a European total can change place between one day and the next.

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.

Zamazenta V 196 price — frequently asked questions

How much is Zamazenta V 196 worth?

Zamazenta V 196 has a market price of $4.67, and the cheapest copy on sale is $3.65, read on August 14, 2026. Both figures are for ungraded cards.

Is Zamazenta V 196 rare?

Zamazenta V 196 is a Rare Ultra, which means it was pulled from Sword & Shield 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. Among 19 priced Zamazenta prints it sits at number 8, so it sits in the middle third of what this Pokémon costs — dearer than most prints, but not one of the chased ones.

Why is another Zamazenta V selling for much more?

Zamazenta V was printed in 16 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 Zamazenta V graded?

No grading figure for Zamazenta V 196 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 Zamazenta V cheaper?

No. The six European language printings of Zamazenta V 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 Zamazenta V 196 sells for?

Yes, and mostly by keeping it out. Zamazenta V 196 is legal in Unlimited and Expanded 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 Zamazenta V prices include shipping or tax?

No. Every figure on this page is the listed price of Zamazenta V 196 itself. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller.

How often does the Zamazenta V 196 price update?

Once a day. The Zamazenta V 196 archive behind this page holds 381 daily readings, the oldest from July 30, 2025 and the newest from August 14, 2026.
