How much is a EX Pokémon card worth?

The typical EX card costs $25.03. Across the 409 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $1.31 and the dearest is $1,069.91 — M Rayquaza-EX 98, at $1,069.91. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

EX Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 438 cards share the mechanic EX. A mechanic is the special kind a card is printed as — V, VMAX and ex among Pokémon, Item, Supporter and Stadium among Trainers — recorded with each card in the card files this site reads. Evolution stages are counted on their own, and a plain card carries no mechanic at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.
What they cost. The typical card is $25.03. Across the 409 priced cards the range runs $1.31 to $1,069.91.
Where it stands. No. 4 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 24 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 179 HP and 99 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fire.
What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 409 cards that carry a price, each with its own price page. Cards without a price are counted in the total but are not listed.
When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Are EX Pokémon cards going up in value?

This is the middle price of the whole group on each reading day, so it answers the question for EX cards as a group rather than for one card.

Typical EX card price, September 12, 2025 to August 14, 2026

Each point is the middle price of the 409 priced EX cards on that day, read from this site's own archive. The 13 readings drawn above are also listed as text below.

Each row compares the middle price of the whole group on two days. It is not the change of any single card — a card can fall while the group rises, which is what the movers list below shows.

The typical EX card rose from $19.23 to $25.03 over the 11 months on file — +30.2%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How EX Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 409 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 409 priced EX cards, from $1.31 to $1,069.91, with the tenfold steps evenly spaced. The last one is read differently — it counts cards rather than dollars, and says so in its own label.

Dearest	$1,069.91	$1,069.91

The two columns are different groups of cards, not two readings of the same one — the right column is the dearest end of the left one. "Typical" is the middle price, which half the cards sit below; "average" is pulled upward by the few very expensive cards, which is why the two differ.

The average price of a EX card is $81.92 while the typical one is $25.03. The gap between those two numbers is the shape of this group: a small number of very expensive cards is dragging the average far above what most cards actually cost.

What three quarters of the 409 priced EX cards cost

One in four EX cards costs $10.07 or less, half cost $25.03 or less, and three in four cost $84.49 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $84.49, and the dearest tenth starts at $216.48.

How much HP and damage EX Pokémon cards print

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

EX Pokémon cards — how far apart the numbers on the cards sit
Measure	Lowest	Lower quarter	Typical	Upper quarter	Highest	Cards counted
HP	90	170	180	180	250	438
Biggest attack	10	70	100	120	300	424

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 438 EX cards that carry one. The typical card is 180 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.

Half of these cards sit between 170 and 180 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

Which EX Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 160 of the 438 EX cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

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

Can you still play EX 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 EX card on the table, across all 438 of them.

Standard

0 cards you can play today

0 of the 438 EX cards are legal in Standard, the format most tournaments run. That is 0.0% of the group.

Expanded only

427 more that need the older format

These 427 have rotated out of Standard but are still legal in Expanded, which reaches back much further.

Neither

11 that no current format accepts

11 of the group — 2.5% — are collector cards now rather than deck cards.

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 438 EX cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.

The 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 EX Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +30.2%. These are the EX cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 386 EX cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

386 EX cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The EX group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -37.4% to +351.7% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

The cheapest EX Pokémon cards you can buy

A group price hides its own floor. These are the 6 least expensive EX cards carrying a price, which is what the group costs to start rather than what its best card costs.

Read from the same daily price archive as the rest of this page. A low price usually means the card is common rather than that it is a bargain.

How EX compares with the other mechanics

Every mechanic in this list is ranked by its typical price. The bar is that price against the dearest group, and the highlighted row is where EX sits.

28 mechanics in totalSee them all

EX is No. 4 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 24 of them cheaper and 3 dearer. Rank is not the same as scarcity: a group can rank high because a handful of its cards are chased, while most of it stays affordable — the price ladder above shows which of those two is happening here.

How much energy do EX Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 438 EX cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

How the mechanics compare on HP, damage and how hard they hit for their size

Price is one ladder, and the numbers printed on the cards are another. These are the 21 mechanics side by side, each on its own averages, with EX among them.

Damage per HP is that group's average biggest attack divided by its average HP: a larger number means the group hits harder for the size it prints. Both averages are counted only across the cards that carry the number at all, and Trainer and Energy cards carry neither. Only groups large enough to have their own page are listed.

Which EX Pokémon cards hit hardest, type by type

EX Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many EX Pokémon cards are there?

There are 438 EX cards in this archive, and 409 of them carry a price. A mechanic is the special kind a card is printed as — V, VMAX and ex among Pokémon, Item, Supporter and Stadium among Trainers — recorded with each card in the card files this site reads. Evolution stages are counted on their own, and a plain card carries no mechanic at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

How much is a EX Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $25.03. Across the 409 priced cards the range runs from $1.31 to $1,069.91, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive EX Pokémon card?

M Rayquaza-EX 98 from Ancient Origins, at $1,069.91. It is 43× the typical price of the group.

Are EX Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 4 of 28 mechanics, with 24 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 438 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 2.1%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all EX Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 409 of the 438 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 EX 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 388 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical EX card rose from $19.23 to $25.03, a change of +30.2%. 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 EX Pokémon card cost?

One in four EX cards costs $10.07 or less and the cheapest on file is $1.31. Three in four cost $84.49 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which EX Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of EX card: 17 of them are on file and the middle one costs $190.01. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a EX Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among EX cards is 250, and the lowest is 90. The typical one is 180 HP, with half of them between 170 and 180 — figures counted from the 438 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are EX Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

0 of the 438 EX cards are legal in Standard today and 427 in Expanded — 0.0% and 97.5% 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 EX Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fire — 66 of the 408 EX cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Psychic next at 58 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old EX Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among EX cards the 2003 printings sit at a typical $116.00 and the 2021 ones at $12.24, while the dearest year of all is 2003 at $116.00. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which EX Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Darkrai-EX BW46 from BW Black Star Promos, which went from $6.60 to $29.81 — a change of +351.7% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 386 EX cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have EX Pokémon cards?

EX cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are XY Black Star Promos (69 cards, typically $13.60), Ancient Origins (25 cards, typically $37.66), Fates Collide (24 cards, typically $14.03). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
