The typical Blastoise card costs $69.12. Across the 38 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $2.97 and the dearest is $820.00 — Blastoise 2, at $820.00. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

The middle step counts every card that records a Pokédex number, including Pokémon too small to have a page of their own. That is why its figure is larger than the totals on the Pokédex number list, which only counts the groups it can open.

Blastoise Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 45 cards share the Pokédex number Blastoise. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.
  • What they cost. The typical card is $69.12. Across the 38 priced cards the range runs $2.97 to $820.00.
  • Where it stands. No. 8 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 198 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 183 HP and 97 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Lightning.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 45 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 7 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.
  • When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Which Blastoise cards share a name across several printings?

41 of the 45 cards listed above are reprints of just 7 names. Buying by name alone is how people end up with the wrong printing, because these share a name but not a set, a rarity or a price.

How Blastoise Pokémon card prices are spread

One number cannot describe a group whose cards run from a few dollars to several thousand. These four points and the bands under them show the shape of it.

An average hides the shape of a group. These four points say where the money actually sits among Blastoise cards.

A typical Blastoise card$69.12medianThat is 8.4% of the dearest single card at $820.00. "Blastoise cards are expensive" is a story about one card.
The cheapest Blastoise card$2.97Pokémon GO #17That is 4.3% of the typical price, so this group has cards you can buy for pocket change.

This page carries no graded prices for Blastoise cardsPaid data A graded copy can be worth several times an ungraded one, but population counts and graded sale prices are only sold commercially.Rather than print a guess, the column is left out — every price here is for an ungraded English card.
The counting sections and the price sections do not share a denominator. This group holds 45 cards, but only 38 of them carry a price. Every figure about money on this page — the typical price, the quarters, the bands, the ladder — is counted on those 38, while every figure about how many cards exist is counted on all 45.

What Blastoise Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

The group price says what an ordinary Blastoise card costs. These break the group down by card kind, rarity, printing, each row beside its own typical price, so you can tell a cheap card from a dear one before you look it up.

The words printed after the name split Blastoise cards into kinds, and each kind plays by different rules.

How much HP and damage Blastoise Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Blastoise 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 are Blastoise Pokémon cards weak to?

How do Blastoise Pokémon cards evolve?

Some Blastoise cards evolve from another Blastoise card because a form badge is printed on them, which is a different thing from the collection line that runs between Pokémon. These are the 40 Blastoise cards that print a stage.

Can you still play Blastoise Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?

Each track is the whole of the 45 Blastoise 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.

How Blastoise compares with the other Pokémon

A price on its own says nothing until you know what the group next to it costs. This is where Blastoise sits among the 206 Pokémon on file.

"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, Blastoise is number 24 of 206 Pokémon, on Base #2 at $820.00. By card count it is number 29, and by the price of an ordinary card number 8 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Ranked by what an ordinary card costs, Blastoise is number 8

Blastoise Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Blastoise Pokémon cards are there?

There are 45 Blastoise cards in this archive, and 38 of them carry a price. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.

How much is a Blastoise Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $69.12. Across the 38 priced cards the range runs from $2.97 to $820.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Blastoise Pokémon card?

Blastoise 2 from Base, at $820.00. It is 12× the typical price of the group.

Are Blastoise Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 8 of 206 Pokémon, with 198 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 45 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 Blastoise Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 38 of the 45 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 Blastoise Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 45 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 0 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Blastoise 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 Blastoise Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Blastoise card rose from $52.81 to $69.12, a change of +30.9%. 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 Blastoise Pokémon card cost?

One in four Blastoise cards costs $17.92 or less and the cheapest on file is $2.97. Three in four cost $155.36 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Blastoise Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare is the dearest kind of Blastoise card: 7 of them are on file and the middle one costs $157.87. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Blastoise Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Blastoise cards is 330, and the lowest is 70. The typical one is 180 HP, with half of them between 120 and 240 — figures counted from the 45 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Blastoise Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

6 of the 45 Blastoise cards are legal in Standard today and 29 in Expanded — 13.3% and 64.4% 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 Blastoise Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Lightning — 24 of the 45 Blastoise cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Grass next at 21 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Blastoise Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Blastoise cards the 2000 printings sit at a typical $150.80 and the 2019 ones at $85.13, while the dearest year of all is 2002 at $161.44. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Blastoise Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Blastoise 25 from Team Up, which went from $5.88 to $27.27 — a change of +363.8% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 37 Blastoise cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Blastoise Pokémon cards?

Blastoise cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Cosmic Eclipse (4 cards, typically $105.35), 151 (3 cards), Evolutions (3 cards, typically $21.05). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
