Which print variants of SWSH259 exist, and what do they cost?

Giratina V SWSH259 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 Origin Forme Palkia V SWSH253, a card from the same set, borrowed so the two finishes can be compared side by side. Giratina V SWSH259 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 Giratina V SWSH259. 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.

Giratina V SWSH259 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 Giratina V prints in price?

This name was printed 15 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 220 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.

Among the 780 priced V cards this one is number 384. It sits above the group median of $2.67, and the dearest V card is $824.39 — being in the same class does not carry the price with it.

The rows either side of it show how tight this part of the list is: $2.81 one place above and $2.79 one place below, a difference of $0.02 across three places. Rank moves quickly here, price barely does.

The ranking counts only cards that carry a price on the day of the snapshot. Cards with no listing are left out rather than counted as zero.

These are the 12 dearest of the 132 cards credited to PLANETA Mochizuki in this archive, not the whole set. Cards with no price on the snapshot day cannot be ranked and are left out of the ordering.

PLANETA Mochizuki is credited on 132 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.

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.

The gap between the cheapest copy on sale and what buyers actually settled at is $1.01. That gap is the room you have to negotiate or to wait out — the market price is the honest middle, and the lowest listing is one seller, on one day, in one condition.

Prices here are for the card alone. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller, and on cross-border orders they can move the order of the marketplaces around.

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.

Back to summary

There are 28 other priced prints of this Pokémon. They are listed highest price first, so you can see at once whether the card you are holding is the expensive one.

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.

Giratina V SWSH259 price — frequently asked questions

How much is Giratina V SWSH259 worth?

Giratina V SWSH259 has a market price of $2.81, and the cheapest copy on sale is $1.80, read on August 14, 2026. Both figures are for ungraded cards.

Is Giratina V SWSH259 rare?

Giratina V SWSH259 is a Promo, which means it was handed out through a promotion rather than pulled from a booster pack of a numbered set. It carries no set number of its own, so scarcity came from how that promotion was run. Among 32 priced Giratina prints it sits at number 32, so it sits in the lower third of what this Pokémon costs, which is where the affordable prints are.

Why is another Giratina V selling for much more?

Giratina V was printed in 15 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 Giratina V graded?

No grading figure for Giratina V SWSH259 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 Giratina V cheaper?

No. The six European language printings of Giratina 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 Giratina V SWSH259 sells for?

Yes, and mostly by keeping it out. Giratina V SWSH259 is legal in Unlimited and Standard 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 Giratina V prices include shipping or tax?

No. Every figure on this page is the listed price of Giratina V SWSH259 itself. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller.
