Palkia Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 33 cards share the Pokédex number Palkia. 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 $19.06. Across the 30 priced cards the range runs $0.22 to $541.35.
Where it stands. No. 53 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 153 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 165 HP and 93 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Lightning.
What is listed below. Every one of the 33 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 differs

The dearer one is from Plasma Blast and the cheaper from Celebrations. Nothing about the Pokémon changed — the printing did.

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

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

How much HP and damage Palkia Pokémon cards print

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

HP	90	120	180	180	280	33

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.

Question	Cards	Share of the group
Legal in Standard today	10	30.3%
Legal in Expanded today	22	66.7%
Cards with an Ability	9	27.3%
Cards with a special rule	21	63.6%

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 33 Palkia 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 $3.60, against $541.35 for the single dearest Palkia card. The two ends of the same group sit 2,461× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Palkia".

How Palkia 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 Palkia 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.

Palkia Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Palkia Pokémon cards are there?

There are 33 Palkia cards in this archive, and 30 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.

How much is a Palkia Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $19.06. Across the 30 priced cards the range runs from $0.22 to $541.35, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

Do all Palkia Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 30 of the 33 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 Palkia Pokémon card?

How often are Palkia Pokémon card prices updated?

Are Palkia Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Palkia card rose from $9.14 to $19.06, a change of +108.5%. 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 Palkia Pokémon card cost?

One in four Palkia cards costs $5.76 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.22. Three in four cost $62.21 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Are Palkia Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

10 of the 33 Palkia cards are legal in Standard today and 22 in Expanded — 30.3% and 66.7% 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 Palkia Pokémon cards weak to?

Are old Palkia Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Palkia cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
