Which Rare Rainbow cards share a name across several printings?

6 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 3 names. Buying by name alone is how people end up with the wrong printing, because these share a name but not a set, a rarity or a price.

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

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

Each point is the middle price of the 324 priced Rare Rainbow 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 Rare Rainbow card rose from $10.78 to $16.02 over the 11 months on file — +48.6%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How Rare Rainbow Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 324 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 324 priced Rare Rainbow cards, from $2.31 to $2,259.47, 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 Rare Rainbow card is $60.62 while the typical one is $16.02. 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 324 priced Rare Rainbow cards cost

One in four Rare Rainbow cards costs $7.41 or less, half cost $16.02 or less, and three in four cost $49.49 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $49.49, and the dearest tenth starts at $123.73.

Which Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +48.6%. These are the Rare Rainbow cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 296 Rare Rainbow cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

296 Rare Rainbow cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Rare Rainbow group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -10.9% to +300.1% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

Why the HP figures use a smaller denominator

Only 244 of these 324 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.

Which series of the game printed Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards?

Rare Rainbow cards appear in 2 series, and Sword & Shield carries the most of them with 180 cards.

Sword & Shieldtypically $7.82180 cards

Bar length is against the largest series. A series is a run of sets sold under one name, so this is a coarser split than the set tables and it shows which era of the game carried Rare Rainbow.

What is the same

The rarity printed on the card

Both are recorded as Rare Rainbow 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 Rare Rainbow card costs $16.02, 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.

Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards are there?

There are 324 Rare Rainbow cards in this archive, and 324 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 Rare Rainbow Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $16.02. Across the 324 priced cards the range runs from $2.31 to $2,259.47, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Rare Rainbow Pokémon card?

Umbreon VMAX 215 from Evolving Skies, at $2,259.47. It is 141× the typical price of the group.

Are Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 8 of 29 rarity tiers, with 21 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 324 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 1.6%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 324 of the 324 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 Rare Rainbow 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 274 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Rare Rainbow card rose from $10.78 to $16.02, a change of +48.6%. 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 Rare Rainbow Pokémon card cost?

One in four Rare Rainbow cards costs $7.41 or less and the cheapest on file is $2.31. Three in four cost $49.49 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 Rare Rainbow Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Rare Rainbow cards is 340, and the lowest is 150. The typical one is 250 HP, with half of them between 200 and 310 — figures counted from the 244 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

64 of the 324 Rare Rainbow cards are legal in Standard today and 324 in Expanded — 19.8% 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 Rare Rainbow Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 46 of the 216 Rare Rainbow cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 44 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

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

Not simply by age. Among Rare Rainbow cards the 2017 printings sit at a typical $20.00 and the 2022 ones at $7.08, while the dearest year of all is 2019 at $64.07. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Rare Rainbow Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Genesect-GX 224 from Lost Thunder, which went from $15.61 to $62.45 — a change of +300.1% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 296 Rare Rainbow cards that carried a price on both days.
