Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 38 Ampharos cards that carry one. The typical card is 140 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 120 and 168 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

The largest printed damage number on each of the 37 Ampharos cards that print one. The typical card hits for 80. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 50 and 120. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 38 Ampharos cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

These six together cost $2.96, against $219.90 for the single dearest Ampharos card. The two ends of the same group sit 814× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Ampharos".
How Ampharos compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Ampharos is number 91 of 206 Pokémon, on Neo Revelation #1 at $219.90. By card count it is number 46, and by the price of an ordinary card number 39 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
