How much is a Single Strike Pokémon card worth?

The middle step counts every card that records a mechanic, including mechanics too small to have a page of their own. That is why its figure is larger than the totals on the mechanic list, which only counts the groups it can open.

Single Strike Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 147 cards share the mechanic Single 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 $0.79. Across the 144 priced cards the range runs $0.16 to $2,259.47.
  • Where it stands. No. 26 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 2 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 182 HP and 121 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Grass.
  • What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 144 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 Single Strike cards share a name across several printings?

27 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 8 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 Single Strike card fell from $0.91 to $0.79 over the 11 months on file — -13.2%. A falling middle means the ordinary card of this group got cheaper, which is not always visible from the most expensive card alone.

How Single Strike Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 144 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 144 priced Single Strike cards, from $0.16 to $2,259.47, 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 Single Strike card is $35.39 while the typical one is $0.79. 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 144 priced Single Strike cards cost

One in four Single Strike cards costs $0.26 or less, half cost $0.79 or less, and three in four cost $6.23 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $6.23, and the dearest tenth starts at $26.97.

How much HP and damage Single Strike Pokémon cards print

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

What are Single Strike Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 111 Single Strike cards that print one, the most common is Grass on 27 of them.

Which Single Strike Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved -13.2%. These are the Single Strike cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 62 Single Strike cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

62 Single Strike cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Single Strike group fell over this window, yet the cards above ran from -8.9% to +223.3% — 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 Single Strike Pokémon cards you can buy

A group price hides its own floor. These are the 6 least expensive Single Strike 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 Single Strike 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 Single Strike 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

Single Strike is No. 26 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 2 of them cheaper and 25 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 Single Strike Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 125 Single Strike cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

The dearest and the cheapest Single Strike Pokémon card, side by side

Both of these are Single Strike cards, and one costs 14,122 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.

Which Single Strike Pokémon cards you have to evolve into

Single Strike Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Single Strike Pokémon cards are there?

There are 147 Single Strike cards in this archive, and 144 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 Single Strike Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.79. Across the 144 priced cards the range runs from $0.16 to $2,259.47, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Single Strike Pokémon card?

Umbreon VMAX 215 from Evolving Skies, at $2,259.47. It is 2,860× the typical price of the group.

Are Single Strike Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 26 of 28 mechanics, with 2 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 147 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.7%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Single Strike Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 144 of the 147 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 Single Strike 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 97 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Single Strike 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 Single Strike Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Single Strike card fell from $0.91 to $0.79, a change of -13.2%. 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 Single Strike Pokémon card cost?

One in four Single Strike cards costs $0.26 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.16. Three in four cost $6.23 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Single Strike Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Ultra is the dearest kind of Single Strike card: 22 of them are on file and the middle one costs $13.43. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Single Strike Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Single Strike cards is 330, and the lowest is 40. The typical one is 180 HP, with half of them between 120 and 220 — figures counted from the 122 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Single Strike Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

0 of the 147 Single Strike cards are legal in Standard today and 147 in Expanded — 0.0% and 100.0% 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 Single Strike Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Grass — 27 of the 111 Single Strike cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Water next at 19 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Single Strike Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Single Strike cards the 2019 printings sit at a typical $4.74 and the 2023 ones at $1.54, while the dearest year of all is 2022 at $5.45. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Single Strike Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Rockruff TG07 from Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery, which went from $1.93 to $6.24 — a change of +223.3% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 62 Single Strike cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Single Strike Pokémon cards?

Single Strike cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Chilling Reign (42 cards, typically $0.34), Battle Styles (31 cards, typically $0.70), Evolving Skies (26 cards, typically $2.99). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
