Rapid Strike Pokémon cards at a glance
- What this group is. 158 cards share the mechanic Rapid Strike. 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 $0.90. Across the 155 priced cards the range runs $0.07 to $1,247.90.
- Where it stands. No. 21 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 7 of them cheaper.
- What the cards are like. They average 173 HP and 70 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Lightning.
- What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 155 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.

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 Rapid Strike card rose from $0.88 to $0.90 over the 11 months on file — +2.3%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.
How Rapid Strike Pokémon card prices are spread
Each half circle is the whole price range of the 155 priced Rapid Strike cards, from $0.07 to $1,247.90, 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.
How every Rapid Strike card with a price falls into price bands — 155 cards counted, not just the ones drawn above. Each track is the whole group, so the empty part of a bar is the share that sits outside that band.
The longest bar is where an ordinary Rapid Strike card actually sits. Bands read the market price of each card on August 14, 2026.
| Group | Share | Value |

| Dearest | $1,247.90 | $1,247.90 |
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 Rapid Strike card is $27.92 while the typical one is $0.90. 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 155 priced Rapid Strike cards cost
One in four Rapid Strike cards costs $0.28 or less, half cost $0.90 or less, and three in four cost $6.47 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $6.47, and the dearest tenth starts at $38.56.

| Biggest attack | 10 | 30 | 60 | 100 | 210 | 125 |
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 135 Rapid Strike cards that carry one. The typical card is 150 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 95 and 220 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

The largest printed damage number on each of the 125 Rapid Strike cards that print one. The typical card hits for 60. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.

Resistance cuts incoming damage from that type. Only some Rapid Strike cards print one, which is why this count is smaller than the card total.
How do Rapid Strike Pokémon cards evolve?
The 108 Rapid Strike cards that print a stage, split by which stage it is
108 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.
Basic cards are played straight from the hand; the later stages have to evolve from the card before them.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 70.4% | 76 cards |
| Stage 1 | 20.4% | 22 cards |
| Stage 2 | 9.3% | 10 cards |
Can you still play Rapid Strike Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?
135 cards counted.
The number of energy cards you discard to move this Pokémon back to the bench. Zero means it retreats for free.

| 2 | 54.1% | 73 cards |

| Question | Cards | Share of the group |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 0 | 0.0% |
| Legal in Expanded today | 158 | 100.0% |
| Cards with an Ability | 36 | 22.8% |
| Cards with a special rule | 87 | 55.1% |
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 158 Rapid Strike 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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 0.0% | 0 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 100.0% | 158 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 22.8% | 36 cards |
| Cards with a special rule | 55.1% | 87 cards |
Which Rapid Strike Pokémon cards moved most this year
66 Rapid Strike cards tracked across the yearSee the group line
A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Rapid Strike group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -7.3% to +404.9% — 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 Rapid Strike Pokémon cards you can buy

How Rapid Strike compares with the other mechanics
28 mechanics in totalSee them all
Rapid Strike is No. 21 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 7 of them cheaper and 20 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 Rapid Strike Pokémon cards need to attack?
Rapid Strike Pokémon cards — energy asked for by the cheapest printed attack, 138 cards counted
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.
