Card mechanic · 105 cards · 100 with a price · $0.67 to $113.50 · read August 14, 2026

How much is a Ultra Beast Pokémon card worth?

The typical Ultra Beast card costs $9.32. Across the 100 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.67 and the dearest is $113.50 — Ultra Necrozma-GX 78, at $113.50. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

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.

Ultra Beast Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 105 cards share the mechanic Ultra Beast. 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 $9.32. Across the 100 priced cards the range runs $0.67 to $113.50.
  • Where it stands. No. 8 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 20 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 169 HP and 119 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fire.
  • What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 100 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 Ultra Beast cards share a name across several printings?

The typical Ultra Beast card rose from $5.99 to $9.32 over the 11 months on file — +55.6%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How Ultra Beast Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 100 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 100 priced Ultra Beast cards, from $0.67 to $113.50, 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 Ultra Beast card is $16.00 while the typical one is $9.32. 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 100 priced Ultra Beast cards cost

One in four Ultra Beast cards costs $5.34 or less, half cost $9.32 or less, and three in four cost $18.99 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $18.99, and the dearest tenth starts at $34.39.

How much HP and damage Ultra Beast Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Ultra Beast 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 105 Ultra Beast cards that print one, the most common is Fire on 29 of them.

Which Ultra Beast Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +55.6%. These are the Ultra Beast cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 93 Ultra Beast cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

93 Ultra Beast cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Ultra Beast group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -11.2% to +366.5% — 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon cards you can buy

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

Set and number are what you match against a listing; two cards with the same name are different cards if either of those differs.

How Ultra Beast 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 Ultra Beast 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

Ultra Beast is No. 8 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 20 of them cheaper and 7 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 105 Ultra Beast cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

Which Ultra Beast Pokémon cards you have to evolve into

Ultra Beast Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Ultra Beast Pokémon cards are there?

There are 105 Ultra Beast cards in this archive, and 100 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $9.32. Across the 100 priced cards the range runs from $0.67 to $113.50, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Ultra Beast Pokémon card?

Ultra Necrozma-GX 78 from Dragon Majesty, at $113.50. It is 12× the typical price of the group.

Are Ultra Beast Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 8 of 28 mechanics, with 20 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 105 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.5%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Ultra Beast Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 100 of the 105 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 Ultra Beast 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 55 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Ultra Beast 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Ultra Beast card rose from $5.99 to $9.32, a change of +55.6%. 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon card cost?

One in four Ultra Beast cards costs $5.34 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.67. Three in four cost $18.99 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Ultra Beast Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Rainbow is the dearest kind of Ultra Beast card: 17 of them are on file and the middle one costs $24.68. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Ultra Beast Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Ultra Beast cards is 280, and the lowest is 60. The typical one is 180 HP, with half of them between 130 and 200 — figures counted from the 105 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Ultra Beast Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

0 of the 105 Ultra Beast cards are legal in Standard today and 105 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 Ultra Beast Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fire — 29 of the 105 Ultra Beast cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Psychic next at 22 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Ultra Beast Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Ultra Beast cards the 2017 printings sit at a typical $7.09 and the 2019 ones at $8.62, while the dearest year of all is 2018 at $13.85. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Ultra Beast Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Stakataka 106 from Unbroken Bonds, which went from $1.55 to $7.23 — a change of +366.5% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 93 Ultra Beast cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Ultra Beast Pokémon cards?

Ultra Beast cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are SM Black Star Promos (20 cards, typically $6.17), Hidden Fates Shiny Vault (14 cards, typically $9.39), Crimson Invasion (13 cards, typically $9.18). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
