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.

Squirtle Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 28 cards share the Pokédex number Squirtle. 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 $15.67. Across the 24 priced cards the range runs $0.72 to $116.86.
  • Where it stands. No. 57 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 149 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 54 HP and 18 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Lightning.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 28 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 4 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.

How Squirtle 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 Squirtle cards.

A typical Squirtle card$15.67medianThat is 13.4% of the dearest single card at $116.86. "Squirtle cards are expensive" is a story about one card.
The cheapest Squirtle card$0.72Pokémon GO #15That is 4.6% of the typical price, so this group has cards you can buy for pocket change.

One in ten costs more than this$89.84upper tenthThat is 5.7× the typical price. This bar is the longest one here, and the tiles above are measured against it.
This page carries no graded prices for Squirtle 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 28 cards, but only 24 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 24, while every figure about how many cards exist is counted on all 28.

How much HP and damage Squirtle Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Squirtle 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 28 Squirtle 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 Squirtle 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 Squirtle sits among the 206 Pokémon on file.

Ranked by its single dearest card, Squirtle is number 131 of 206 Pokémon, on Stellar Crown #148 at $116.86. By card count it is number 126, and by the price of an ordinary card number 57 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
