How much is a Star Pokémon card worth?

The typical Star card costs $1,010.00. Across the 17 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $26.56 and the dearest is $3,216.67 — Pikachu ★ 104, at $3,216.67. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

Star Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 29 cards share the mechanic Star. 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 $1,010.00. Across the 17 priced cards the range runs $26.56 to $3,216.67.
Where it stands. No. 1 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 27 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 80 HP and 50 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Water.
What is listed below. Every one of the 29 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 12 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.
When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Are Star 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 Star cards as a group rather than for one card.

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

Each point is the middle price of the 17 priced Star 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 Star card rose from $600.51 to $1,010.00 over the 11 months on file — +68.2%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How Star Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 17 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

$26.56$3,216.67$1,399.95Where the dearer quarter begins — one card in four costs more than this

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 17 priced Star cards, from $26.56 to $3,216.67, 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 Star card with a price falls into price bands — 17 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 Star card actually sits. Bands read the market price of each card on August 14, 2026.

Dearest	$3,216.67	$3,216.67

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 Star card is $1,060.48 while the typical one is $1,010.00. The gap between those two numbers is the shape of this group: the cards sit close together, so the average and the typical price say roughly the same thing.

What three quarters of the 17 priced Star cards cost

One in four Star cards costs $747.00 or less, half cost $1,010.00 or less, and three in four cost $1,399.95 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $1,399.95, and the dearest tenth starts at $1,759.98.

When were Star Pokémon cards printed, and are the old ones worth more?

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

The group price says what an ordinary Star card costs. These tables break the group down by rarity, printing and set, each row beside its own typical price, so you can tell a $1 card from a $100 one before you look it up.

How much HP and damage Star Pokémon cards print

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

HP	60	70	80	90	130	29
Biggest attack	10	30	50	63	150	24

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.

What are Star Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 29 Star cards that print one, the most common is Water on 6 of them.

Can you still play Star 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 Star card on the table, across all 29 of them.

Which Star Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +68.2%. These are the Star cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 8 Star cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

8 Star cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Star group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from +50.0% to +383.9% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

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

Star Pokémon cards — energy asked for by the cheapest printed attack, 29 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.

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 Star 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.

Back to summary

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

Both of these are Star cards, and one costs 121 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.

Bar length is that group's size against the largest of them, which is 1,166 cards. The card shown on each panel is the dearest one in that group, not a typical one.

Every group listed here is large enough to have a page of its own; smaller ones stay as rows on the page above.

Which Star Pokémon cards hit hardest, type by type

Counting cards tells you which type is common. Counting damage tells you which one is dangerous, and the two answers are not the same: Water leads on cards while Darkness leads on damage.

Counted by power rather than by card, the order changes

Bar length is that type against Darkness, the hardest hitter here at 125 damage

Star Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Star Pokémon cards are there?

There are 29 Star cards in this archive, and 17 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 Star Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $1,010.00. Across the 17 priced cards the range runs from $26.56 to $3,216.67, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Star Pokémon card?

Pikachu ★ 104 from Holon Phantoms, at $3,216.67. It is 3× the typical price of the group.

Are Star Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 1 of 28 mechanics, with 27 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 29 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.1%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Star Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 17 of the 29 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 Star Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 29 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 0 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Star card rose from $600.51 to $1,010.00, a change of +68.2%. 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 Star Pokémon card cost?

One in four Star cards costs $747.00 or less and the cheapest on file is $26.56. Three in four cost $1,399.95 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Star Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Holo Star is the dearest kind of Star card: 25 of them are on file and the middle one costs $1,067.00. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Star Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Star cards is 130, and the lowest is 60. The typical one is 80 HP, with half of them between 70 and 90 — figures counted from the 29 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Star Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

0 of the 29 Star cards are legal in Standard today and 0 in Expanded — 0.0% and 0.0% 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 Star Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Water — 6 of the 29 Star cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fighting next at 5 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Star Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Star cards the 2005 printings sit at a typical $1,038.50 and the 2006 ones at $990.00, while the dearest year of all is 2005 at $1,038.50. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Star Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Flareon ★ 100 from Power Keepers, which went from $413.33 to $1,999.95 — a change of +383.9% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 8 Star cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Star Pokémon cards?

Star cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Delta Species (3 cards), Deoxys (3 cards), Holon Phantoms (3 cards). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

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

Every figure on this page is counted from the 29 Star cards this site holds on file — 17 of them with a price read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive. Nothing here is estimated: a card with no price is left out of the price columns rather than filled in. The places below are where the same card information can be checked.

Before you rely on these figures

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