Which Voltorb cards share a name across several printings?

37 of the 40 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.

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

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

How much HP and damage Voltorb Pokémon cards print

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

Can you still play Voltorb 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 Voltorb card on the table, across all 40 of them.

The card shown is Voltorb. It is Legendary Collection #97, Common. This group holds 40 Pokémon cards on file.Printed in 2002

Legal in Expanded today	20	50.0%
Cards with an Ability	4	10.0%
Cards with a special rule	2	5.0%

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 40 Voltorb 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 Voltorb 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.

Counted on the 19 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

The 6 cheapest Voltorb cards on file

These six together cost $1.56, against $99.96 for the single dearest Voltorb card. The two ends of the same group sit 625× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Voltorb".

How Voltorb 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 Voltorb 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.

How many Voltorb Pokémon cards are there?

There are 40 Voltorb cards in this archive, and 38 of them carry a price.

How much is a Voltorb Pokémon card worth?
