  • What they cost. The typical card is $2.90. Across the 26 priced cards the range runs $0.19 to $43.33.
  • Where it stands. No. 150 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 56 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 77 HP and 37 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Grass.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 27 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 1 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 Pupitar cards share a name across several printings?

26 of the 27 cards listed above are reprints of just 3 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 Pupitar 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 Pupitar cards.

How much HP and damage Pupitar Pokémon cards print

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

Each track is the whole of the 27 Pupitar 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 Pupitar 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 Pupitar 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, Pupitar is number 190 of 206 Pokémon, on Delta Species #51 at $43.33. By card count it is number 149, and by the price of an ordinary card number 150 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
