V Pokémon cards — how many are there and what are they worth?

Q: How many V Pokémon cards are there?

There are 601 V cards in this archive, and 563 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.

Q: How much is a V Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $2.40 . Across the 563 priced cards the range runs from $0.54 to $824.39, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

Q: What is the most expensive V Pokémon card?

Giratina V 186 from Lost Origin, at $824.39. It is 343× the typical price of the group.

Q: Are V Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 18 of 28 mechanics , with 10 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 601 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 2.9%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Q: Are V Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical V card rose from $1.76 to $2.40 , a change of +36.4% . 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.

Q: How much does a cheap V Pokémon card cost?

One in four V cards costs $0.99 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.54 . Three in four cost $9.10 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Q: Which V Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of V card: 7 of them are on file and the middle one costs $14.85 . The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

There are 601 V cards on file, 563 of them with a price, and the typical one costs $2.40.

The typical V card costs $2.40. Across the 563 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.54 and the dearest is $824.39 — Giratina V 186, at $824.39. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

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

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

Each point is the middle price of the 563 priced V 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 V card rose from $1.76 to $2.40 over the 11 months on file — +36.4%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How V Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 563 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 563 priced V cards, from $0.54 to $824.39, 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.

Dearest	$824.39	$824.39

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 V card is $18.53 while the typical one is $2.40. 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 563 priced V cards cost

One in four V cards costs $0.99 or less, half cost $2.40 or less, and three in four cost $9.10 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $9.10, and the dearest tenth starts at $33.15.

How much HP and damage V Pokémon cards print

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

V Pokémon cards — how far apart the numbers on the cards sit
Measure	Lowest	Lower quarter	Typical	Upper quarter	Highest	Cards counted
HP	160	200	210	220	280	601
Biggest attack	10	90	120	180	260	585

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 601 V cards that carry one. The typical card is 210 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.

Half of these cards sit between 200 and 220 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

An attack of this type does double damage to the card. Counted across the 566 V cards that print a weakness.

Which V Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 136 of the 601 V cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

Can you still play V 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 V card on the table, across all 601 of them.

Standard

202 cards you can play today

202 of the 601 V cards are legal in Standard, the format most tournaments run. That is 33.6% of the group.

Expanded only

399 more that need the older format

These 399 have rotated out of Standard but are still legal in Expanded, which reaches back much further.

Neither

0 that no current format accepts

0 of the group — 0.0% — are collector cards now rather than deck cards.

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 601 V 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.

Which V Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +36.4%. These are the V cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 363 V cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

363 V cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The V group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -10.1% 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.

Back to summary

The cheapest V Pokémon cards you can buy

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

V is No. 18 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 10 of them cheaper and 17 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 V Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 601 V cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

V Pokémon cards — energy asked for by the cheapest printed attack, 601 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 V 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 V Pokémon card, side by side

Both of these are V cards, and one costs 1,527 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 V 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: Psychic leads on cards while Fire leads on damage.

V Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many V Pokémon cards are there?

There are 601 V cards in this archive, and 563 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 V Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $2.40. Across the 563 priced cards the range runs from $0.54 to $824.39, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive V Pokémon card?

Giratina V 186 from Lost Origin, at $824.39. It is 343× the typical price of the group.

Are V Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 18 of 28 mechanics, with 10 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 601 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 2.9%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all V Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 563 of the 601 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 V 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 551 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical V card rose from $1.76 to $2.40, a change of +36.4%. 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 V Pokémon card cost?

One in four V cards costs $0.99 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.54. Three in four cost $9.10 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which V Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of V card: 7 of them are on file and the middle one costs $14.85. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a V Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among V cards is 280, and the lowest is 160. The typical one is 210 HP, with half of them between 200 and 220 — figures counted from the 601 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are V Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

202 of the 601 V cards are legal in Standard today and 601 in Expanded — 33.6% 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 V Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 129 of the 566 V cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 115 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old V Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among V cards the 2019 printings sit at a typical $2.79 and the 2023 ones at $2.24, while the dearest year of all is 2021 at $3.16. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which V Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Rayquaza V SWSH147 from SWSH Black Star Promos, which went from $5.95 to $30.04 — a change of +404.9% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 363 V cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have V Pokémon cards?

V cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are SWSH Black Star Promos (94 cards, typically $2.79), Evolving Skies (51 cards, typically $5.95), Chilling Reign (41 cards, typically $5.50). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

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

Every figure on this page is counted from the 601 V cards this site holds on file — 563 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.
