Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 336 cards share the mechanic Pokémon Tool. 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 $0.55. Across the 328 priced cards the range runs $0.06 to $39.66.
  • Where it stands. No. 28 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 0 of them cheaper.
  • What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 328 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.

Which Pokémon Tool cards share a name across several printings?

6 of the 50 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.

The typical Pokémon Tool card rose from $0.45 to $0.55 over the 11 months on file — +22.2%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 328 priced Pokémon Tool cards, from $0.06 to $39.66, 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.

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 Pokémon Tool card is $2.35 while the typical one is $0.55. 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 328 priced Pokémon Tool cards cost

One in four Pokémon Tool cards costs $0.29 or less, half cost $0.55 or less, and three in four cost $2.63 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $2.63, and the dearest tenth starts at $6.65.

How much HP and damage Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards print

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

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.

Can you still play Pokémon Tool 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 Pokémon Tool card on the table, across all 336 of them.
Standard
101 cards you can play today
101 of the 336 Pokémon Tool cards are legal in Standard, the format most tournaments run. That is 30.1% of the group.
Expanded only
189 more that need the older format
These 189 have rotated out of Standard but are still legal in Expanded, which reaches back much further.
Neither
46 that no current format accepts
46 of the group — 13.7% — are collector cards now rather than deck cards.

Cards with an Ability20.6%

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.

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 Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +22.2%. These are the Pokémon Tool cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 92 Pokémon Tool cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

92 Pokémon Tool cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Pokémon Tool group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -65.9% to +1,036.1% — 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 Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards you can buy

A group price hides its own floor. These are the 6 least expensive Pokémon Tool 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 Pokémon Tool 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 Pokémon Tool sits.

Bar length is the typical price against Star, the dearest mechanic at $1,010.00. The row without a link is this group.

28 mechanics in totalSee them all

Pokémon Tool is No. 28 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 0 of them cheaper and 27 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 Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 22 Pokémon Tool cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

Each symbol is one Energy card of any type, which is how the cost is recorded: as a number of cards rather than a list of types. Cards that print no attack are left out of this count rather than entered as zero.

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.

The dearest and the cheapest Pokémon Tool Pokémon card, side by side

Both of these are Pokémon Tool cards, and one costs 661 times what the other does. That gap is why a single group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

The other mechanics, and what each one is made of

The price ladder above ranks these same groups by what they cost. This one shows how big each of them is and what a card from it actually looks like, which is the part a ladder cannot carry.

Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards are there?

There are 336 Pokémon Tool cards in this archive, and 328 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 Pokémon Tool Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.55. Across the 328 priced cards the range runs from $0.06 to $39.66, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Pokémon Tool Pokémon card?

Rocky Helmet 153 from Boundaries Crossed, at $39.66. It is 72× the typical price of the group.

Are Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 28 of 28 mechanics, with 0 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 336 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 1.6%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 328 of the 336 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 Pokémon Tool 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 286 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Pokémon Tool card rose from $0.45 to $0.55, a change of +22.2%. 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 Pokémon Tool Pokémon card cost?

One in four Pokémon Tool cards costs $0.29 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.06. Three in four cost $2.63 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of Pokémon Tool card: 32 of them are on file and the middle one costs $4.53. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

Are Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

101 of the 336 Pokémon Tool cards are legal in Standard today and 290 in Expanded — 30.1% and 86.3% 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.

Are old Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Pokémon Tool cards the 2000 printings sit at a typical $2.33 and the 2026 ones at $0.16, while the dearest year of all is 2002 at $8.46. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Pokémon Tool Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Rayquaza Spirit Link 87 from Roaring Skies, which went from $1.08 to $12.27 — a change of +1,036.1% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 92 Pokémon Tool cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Pokémon Tool Pokémon cards?

Pokémon Tool cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Evolving Skies (11 cards, typically $0.18), Lost Thunder (10 cards, typically $0.91), Paradox Rift (10 cards, typically $0.27). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

How these Pokémon Tool figures are collected, and where you can check them

Before you rely on these figures

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