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

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

How much HP and damage Rayquaza Pokémon cards print

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

Rayquaza Pokémon cards — how far apart the numbers on the cards sit

HP	80	115	170	210	320	59
Biggest attack	20	30	60	110	300	59

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.

HP printed on the 59 Rayquaza cards that carry one. The typical card is 170 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.

Which Rayquaza Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 23 of the 59 Rayquaza cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

Resistance cuts incoming damage from that type. Only some Rayquaza cards print one, which is why this count is smaller than the card total.

How do Rayquaza Pokémon cards evolve?

Some Rayquaza cards evolve from another Rayquaza 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 45 Rayquaza cards that print a stage.

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

Price is only half of what separates this group from the one next to it. These are the conditions you meet when you actually put a Rayquaza card on the table, across all 59 of them.

The card shown is Rayquaza VMAX. It is Evolving Skies #218, Rare Rainbow. This group holds 59 Pokémon cards on file.Printed in 2021

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 59 Rayquaza 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.

Which Rayquaza Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group line is made of single cards, and they do not all move together. These are the two ends of that spread over the last twelve months.

The cheapest Rayquaza 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 Rayquaza collection is what it costs to get in.

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 $46.94, against $1,247.90 for the single dearest Rayquaza card. The two ends of the same group sit 589× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Rayquaza".

How Rayquaza 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 Rayquaza 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.

No. 11of 206

Ranked by its single dearest card, Rayquaza is number 11 of 206 Pokémon, on Evolving Skies #218 at $1,247.90. By card count it is number 8, and by the price of an ordinary card number 2 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Rayquaza Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Rayquaza Pokémon cards are there?

There are 59 Rayquaza cards in this archive, and 50 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 Rayquaza Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $125.27. Across the 50 priced cards the range runs from $2.12 to $1,247.90, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Rayquaza Pokémon card?

Rayquaza VMAX 218 from Evolving Skies, at $1,247.90. It is 10× the typical price of the group.

Are Rayquaza Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 2 of 206 Pokémon, with 204 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 59 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.3%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Rayquaza Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 50 of the 59 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 Rayquaza Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 50 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 9 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Rayquaza card rose from $55.78 to $125.27, a change of +124.6%. 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 Rayquaza Pokémon card cost?

One in four Rayquaza cards costs $38.04 or less and the cheapest on file is $2.12. Three in four cost $299.65 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Rayquaza Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of Rayquaza card: 3 of them are on file and the middle one costs $659.95. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Rayquaza Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Rayquaza cards is 320, and the lowest is 80. The typical one is 170 HP, with half of them between 115 and 210 — figures counted from the 59 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Rayquaza Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

1 of the 59 Rayquaza cards are legal in Standard today and 40 in Expanded — 1.7% and 67.8% 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 Rayquaza Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Colorless — 18 of the 45 Rayquaza cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Lightning next at 11 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Rayquaza Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Rayquaza cards the 2005 printings sit at a typical $407.34 and the 2023 ones at $12.76, while the dearest year of all is 2011 at $599.46. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Rayquaza Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Rayquaza 20 from Call of Legends, which went from $49.27 to $599.46 — a change of +1,116.7% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 48 Rayquaza cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Rayquaza Pokémon cards?

Rayquaza cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Evolving Skies (6 cards, typically $108.02), Roaring Skies (6 cards, typically $118.88), XY Black Star Promos (5 cards, typically $42.34). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
