Technical Machine Pokémon cards at a glance
- What this group is. 25 cards share the mechanic Technical Machine. 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 $5.21. Across the 24 priced cards the range runs $1.13 to $33.00.
- Where it stands. No. 14 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 14 of them cheaper.
- What is listed below. Every one of the 25 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 1 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.

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 Technical Machine card rose from $4.13 to $5.21 over the 11 months on file — +26.2%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.
How Technical Machine Pokémon card prices are spread
Each half circle is the whole price range of the 24 priced Technical Machine cards, from $1.13 to $33.00, 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 Technical Machine card with a price falls into price bands — 24 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 Technical Machine card actually sits. Bands read the market price of each card on August 14, 2026.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| $1 to $5 | 41.7% | 10 cards |
| $5 to $20 | 50.0% | 12 cards |
| $20 to $50 | 8.3% | 2 cards |
| Figure | All priced cards | The 25 listed above |
|---|---|---|
| Cards counted | 24 | 25 |
| Cheapest | $1.13 | $1.13 |
| Cheaper quarter, up to | $3.36 | — |
| Typical (median) | $5.21 | — |
| Dearer quarter, from | $6.61 | — |
| Dearest tenth, from | $9.61 | — |
| Average | $7.05 | — |
| Dearest | $33.00 | $33.00 |
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 Technical Machine card is $7.05 while the typical one is $5.21. 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 24 priced Technical Machine cards cost
One in four Technical Machine cards costs $3.36 or less, half cost $5.21 or less, and three in four cost $6.61 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $6.61, and the dearest tenth starts at $9.61.

Bar length is that year against the busiest year for Technical Machine cards, and the figure beside each year is its share of all 25 of them.

| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biggest attack | 10 | 10 | 10 | 30 | 40 | 9 |
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.
The largest printed damage number on each of the 9 Technical Machine cards that print one. The typical card hits for 10. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 10 and 30. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

Can you still play Technical Machine Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?
| Question | Cards | Share of the group |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 0 | 0.0% |
| Legal in Expanded today | 0 | 0.0% |
| Cards with an Ability | 0 | 0.0% |
| Cards with a special rule | 25 | 100.0% |
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 25 Technical Machine 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 | 0.0% | 0 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 0.0% | 0 cards |

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Technical Machine group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from +7.9% to +100.1% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

How Technical Machine compares with the other mechanics
28 mechanics in totalSee them all
Technical Machine is No. 14 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 14 of them cheaper and 13 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 Technical Machine Pokémon cards need to attack?

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.
