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

Q: How much is a Hyper Rare Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $8.31 . Across the 74 priced cards the range runs from $1.25 to $95.05, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

Pikachu ex 247 from Surging Sparks, at $95.05. It is 11× the typical price of the group.

Q: Are Hyper Rare Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 13 of 29 rarity tiers , with 16 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 74 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.4%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Q: How much does a cheap Hyper Rare Pokémon card cost?

One in four Hyper Rare cards costs $5.06 or less and the cheapest on file is $1.25 . Three in four cost $13.17 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Q: What is the highest HP on a Hyper Rare Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Hyper Rare cards is 340 , and the lowest is 180. The typical one is 230 HP, with half of them between 220 and 280 — figures counted from the 41 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Hyper Rare 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 Hyper Rare cards as a group rather than for one card.

Typical Hyper Rare card price, September 12, 2025 to August 14, 2026

Each point is the middle price of the 74 priced Hyper Rare 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 Hyper Rare card rose from $7.88 to $8.31 over the 11 months on file — +5.5%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How Hyper Rare Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 74 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 74 priced Hyper Rare cards, from $1.25 to $95.05, 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 Hyper Rare card with a price falls into price bands — 74 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 Hyper Rare card actually sits. Bands read the market price of each card on August 14, 2026.

Dearest	$95.05	$95.05

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 Hyper Rare card is $13.22 while the typical one is $8.31. 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 74 priced Hyper Rare cards cost

One in four Hyper Rare cards costs $5.06 or less, half cost $8.31 or less, and three in four cost $13.17 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $13.17, and the dearest tenth starts at $28.70.

Which Hyper Rare Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +5.5%. These are the Hyper Rare cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 65 Hyper Rare cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

65 Hyper Rare cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Hyper Rare group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -65.2% to +124.8% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

This ranking counts cards, not money. A rarity can be small and cheap at the same time, so read it beside the price ladder rather than instead of it.

Which kinds of card are printed as Hyper Rare — Pokémon, Trainer or Energy?

Rarity is printed on every kind of card, not only on Pokémon. Of the 74 Hyper Rare cards on file, 41 are Pokémon cards.

Why the HP figures use a smaller denominator

Only 41 of these 74 cards print an HP figure, because Trainer and Energy cards carry no HP box at all. Every HP and damage figure on this page is counted across those cards alone.

What is the same

The rarity printed on the card

Both are recorded as Hyper Rare in the card files this site reads, so a search by rarity returns them together.

What is different

The card underneath it

Set, year, artwork and how many people want it. Rarity says how a card was printed, not how sought after it is.

What this means

Rarity alone does not price a card

The middle Hyper Rare card costs $8.31, which is much closer to the cheap end than to the dear one. Most of this group is affordable and a handful of cards carry the headline figures.

Hyper Rare Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Hyper Rare Pokémon cards are there?

There are 74 Hyper Rare cards in this archive, and 74 of them carry a price. Rarity is the grade recorded with each card in the card files this site reads. Every English card carries one, so the archive splits into rarity tiers without anything left over.

How much is a Hyper Rare Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $8.31. Across the 74 priced cards the range runs from $1.25 to $95.05, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Hyper Rare Pokémon card?

Pikachu ex 247 from Surging Sparks, at $95.05. It is 11× the typical price of the group.

Are Hyper Rare Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 13 of 29 rarity tiers, with 16 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 74 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.4%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Hyper Rare Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 74 of the 74 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 Hyper Rare 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 24 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Hyper Rare 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 Hyper Rare Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Hyper Rare card rose from $7.88 to $8.31, a change of +5.5%. 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 Hyper Rare Pokémon card cost?

One in four Hyper Rare cards costs $5.06 or less and the cheapest on file is $1.25. Three in four cost $13.17 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

What is the highest HP on a Hyper Rare Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Hyper Rare cards is 340, and the lowest is 180. The typical one is 230 HP, with half of them between 220 and 280 — figures counted from the 41 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Hyper Rare Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

74 of the 74 Hyper Rare cards are legal in Standard today and 74 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 Hyper Rare Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 9 of the 39 Hyper Rare cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Grass next at 7 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Hyper Rare Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Hyper Rare cards the 2023 printings sit at a typical $5.08 and the 2025 ones at $12.51, while the dearest year of all is 2025 at $12.51. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Hyper Rare Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Chi-Yu ex 241 from Paldean Fates, which went from $5.45 to $12.25 — a change of +124.8% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 65 Hyper Rare cards that carried a price on both days.

Hyper Rare cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Paldea Evolved (9 cards, typically $5.90), Paradox Rift (7 cards, typically $2.67), Destined Rivals (6 cards, typically $21.39). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
