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.

Raikou Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 26 cards share the Pokédex number Raikou. 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 $80.51. Across the 26 priced cards the range runs $0.17 to $1,600.00.
  • Where it stands. No. 6 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 200 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 119 HP and 64 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fighting.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 26 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 0 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 Raikou cards share a name across several printings?

22 of the 26 cards listed above are reprints of just 5 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 Raikou 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 Raikou cards.

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

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

How much HP and damage Raikou Pokémon cards print

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

Half of these cards sit between 80 and 155 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

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

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 26 Raikou 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.

The cheapest Raikou Pokémon cards you can buy

Every list on this page so far has run from the top down. This one runs from the bottom, because the first question of anyone starting a Raikou collection is what it costs to get in.

The 6 cheapest Raikou cards on file

Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.

These six together cost $15.30, against $1,600.00 for the single dearest Raikou card. The two ends of the same group sit 9,412× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Raikou".

How Raikou 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 Raikou 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, Raikou is number 7 of 206 Pokémon, on Unseen Forces #114 at $1,600.00. By card count it is number 158, and by the price of an ordinary card number 6 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Raikou Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Raikou Pokémon cards are there?

There are 26 Raikou cards in this archive, and 26 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 Raikou Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $80.51. Across the 26 priced cards the range runs from $0.17 to $1,600.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Raikou Pokémon card?

Raikou ★ 114 from Unseen Forces, at $1,600.00. It is 20× the typical price of the group.

Are Raikou Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 6 of 206 Pokémon, with 200 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 26 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.1%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Raikou Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 26 of the 26 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 Raikou Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 26 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 Raikou 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 Raikou Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Raikou card rose from $57.52 to $80.51, a change of +40.0%. 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 Raikou Pokémon card cost?

One in four Raikou cards costs $13.49 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.17. Three in four cost $191.56 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Raikou Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, LEGEND is the dearest kind of Raikou card: 4 of them are on file and the middle one costs $137.12. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Raikou Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Raikou cards is 200, and the lowest is 60. The typical one is 120 HP, with half of them between 80 and 155 — figures counted from the 26 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Raikou Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

3 of the 26 Raikou cards are legal in Standard today and 11 in Expanded — 11.5% and 42.3% 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 Raikou Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 24 of the 26 Raikou cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Water next at 2 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Raikou Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Raikou cards the 2005 printings sit at a typical $284.99 and the 2017 ones at $9.57, while the dearest year of all is 2005 at $284.99. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Raikou Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Raikou-EX 38 from Dark Explorers, which went from $19.97 to $56.52 — a change of +183.0% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 24 Raikou cards that carried a price on both days.

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Raikou 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.
