Darkrai Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 37 cards share the Pokédex number Darkrai.

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 $29.19. Across the 34 priced cards the range runs $0.27 to $789.99.
Where it stands. No. 32 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 174 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 161 HP and 87 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fighting.
What is listed below. Every one of the 37 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 3 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.

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

The group price says what an ordinary Darkrai 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 Darkrai cards into kinds, and each kind plays by different rules.

How much HP and damage Darkrai Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Darkrai 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.

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.

Cards with an Ability	18	48.6%

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 37 Darkrai 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.

Counted on the 24 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

How Darkrai 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 Darkrai 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.
