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.

Sceptile Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 24 cards share the Pokédex number Sceptile. 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 $20.36. Across the 22 priced cards the range runs $3.87 to $249.99.
  • Where it stands. No. 49 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 157 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 150 HP and 76 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fire.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 24 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 2 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 Sceptile cards share a name across several printings?

22 of the 24 cards listed above are reprints of just 4 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 Sceptile 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 Sceptile cards.

A typical Sceptile card$20.36medianThat is 8.1% of the dearest single card at $249.99. "Sceptile cards are expensive" is a story about one card.
The cheapest Sceptile card$3.87Primal Clash #8That is 19.0% of the typical price, so this group has cards you can buy for pocket change.

This page carries no graded prices for Sceptile cardsPaid data A graded copy can be worth several times an ungraded one, but population counts and graded sale prices are only sold commercially.Rather than print a guess, the column is left out — every price here is for an ungraded English card.
The counting sections and the price sections do not share a denominator. This group holds 24 cards, but only 22 of them carry a price. Every figure about money on this page — the typical price, the quarters, the bands, the ladder — is counted on those 22, while every figure about how many cards exist is counted on all 24.

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

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

How much HP and damage Sceptile Pokémon cards print

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

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 24 Sceptile 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 Sceptile 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 Sceptile collection is what it costs to get in.

The 6 cheapest Sceptile 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 $40.49, against $249.99 for the single dearest Sceptile card. The two ends of the same group sit 65× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Sceptile".

How Sceptile 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 Sceptile 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, Sceptile is number 83 of 206 Pokémon, on Team Magma vs Team Aqua #93 at $249.99. By card count it is number 186, and by the price of an ordinary card number 49 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Sceptile Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Sceptile Pokémon cards are there?

There are 24 Sceptile cards in this archive, and 22 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 Sceptile Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $20.36. Across the 22 priced cards the range runs from $3.87 to $249.99, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Sceptile Pokémon card?

Sceptile ex 93 from Team Magma vs Team Aqua, at $249.99. It is 12× the typical price of the group.

Are Sceptile Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 49 of 206 Pokémon, with 157 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 24 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 Sceptile Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 22 of the 24 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 Sceptile Pokémon card?

How often are Sceptile Pokémon card prices updated?

Are Sceptile Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Sceptile card rose from $10.58 to $20.36, a change of +92.4%. 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 Sceptile Pokémon card cost?

One in four Sceptile cards costs $8.61 or less and the cheapest on file is $3.87. Three in four cost $48.41 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Sceptile Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Are Sceptile Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

What are Sceptile Pokémon cards weak to?

Are old Sceptile Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Sceptile cards the 2015 printings sit at a typical $18.80 and the 2018 ones at $9.95, while the dearest year of all is 2015 at $18.80. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Before you rely on these figures

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