How much is a VSTAR Pokémon card worth?

The typical VSTAR card costs $8.00. Across the 84 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.95 and the dearest is $352.59 — Giratina VSTAR GG69, at $352.59. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

VSTAR Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 94 cards share the mechanic VSTAR. 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 $8.00. Across the 84 priced cards the range runs $0.95 to $352.59.
Where it stands. No. 10 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 18 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 271 HP and 167 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fighting.
What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 84 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.

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

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

Each point is the middle price of the 84 priced VSTAR cards on that day, read from this site's own archive. The 13 readings drawn above are also listed as text below.

The typical VSTAR card rose from $6.69 to $8.00 over the 11 months on file — +19.6%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How VSTAR Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 84 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 84 priced VSTAR cards, from $0.95 to $352.59, 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	$352.59	$352.59

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 VSTAR card is $28.04 while the typical one is $8.00. 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 84 priced VSTAR cards cost

One in four VSTAR cards costs $2.02 or less, half cost $8.00 or less, and three in four cost $25.45 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $25.45, and the dearest tenth starts at $73.77.

How much HP and damage VSTAR Pokémon cards print

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

VSTAR Pokémon cards — how far apart the numbers on the cards sit

HP	240	263	270	280	300	94
Biggest attack	30	105	180	220	320	92

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 VSTAR Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 83 VSTAR cards that print one, the most common is Fighting on 20 of them.

Which VSTAR Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 20 of the 94 VSTAR cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

Can you still play VSTAR 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 VSTAR card on the table, across all 94 of them.

Standard

94 cards you can play today

94 of the 94 VSTAR cards are legal in Standard, the format most tournaments run. That is 100.0% of the group.

Expanded only

0 more that need the older format

These 0 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.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 77 VSTAR cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

77 VSTAR cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The VSTAR group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from +5.4% to +190.5% — 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 VSTAR Pokémon cards you can buy

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

VSTAR is No. 10 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 18 of them cheaper and 9 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 VSTAR Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 94 VSTAR cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

VSTAR Pokémon cards — energy asked for by the cheapest printed attack, 94 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 VSTAR 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.

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

Both of these are VSTAR cards, and one costs 371 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.

Which VSTAR 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: Colorless leads on cards while Fire leads on damage.

Counted by power rather than by card, the order changes

VSTAR Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many VSTAR Pokémon cards are there?

There are 94 VSTAR cards in this archive, and 84 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 VSTAR Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $8.00. Across the 84 priced cards the range runs from $0.95 to $352.59, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive VSTAR Pokémon card?

Giratina VSTAR GG69 from Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, at $352.59. It is 44× the typical price of the group.

Are VSTAR Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 10 of 28 mechanics, with 18 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 94 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 VSTAR Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 84 of the 94 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 VSTAR 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 44 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical VSTAR card rose from $6.69 to $8.00, a change of +19.6%. 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 VSTAR Pokémon card cost?

One in four VSTAR cards costs $2.02 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.95. Three in four cost $25.45 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which VSTAR Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of VSTAR card: 13 of them are on file and the middle one costs $18.43. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a VSTAR Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among VSTAR cards is 300, and the lowest is 240. The typical one is 270 HP, with half of them between 263 and 280 — figures counted from the 94 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are VSTAR Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

94 of the 94 VSTAR cards are legal in Standard today and 94 in Expanded — 100.0% 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 VSTAR Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 20 of the 83 VSTAR cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 17 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old VSTAR Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among VSTAR cards the 2019 printings sit at a typical $8.56 and the 2023 ones at $32.79, while the dearest year of all is 2023 at $32.79. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which VSTAR Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Darkrai VSTAR GG50 from Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, which went from $33.26 to $96.61 — a change of +190.5% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 77 VSTAR cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have VSTAR Pokémon cards?

VSTAR cards appear across 8 sets on file. The largest are Astral Radiance (17 cards, typically $7.93), Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery (14 cards, typically $77.34), Lost Origin (14 cards, typically $5.88). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

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

Every figure on this page is counted from the 94 VSTAR cards this site holds on file — 84 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.

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