Which Rare Secret cards share a name across several printings?

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

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

Each point is the middle price of the 320 priced Rare Secret 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 Secret card rose from $12.46 to $14.72 over the 11 months on file — +18.1%. 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 Secret Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 320 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 320 priced Rare Secret cards, from $1.09 to $4,500.00, 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 Secret card is $107.87 while the typical one is $14.72. 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 320 priced Rare Secret cards cost

One in four Rare Secret cards costs $5.93 or less, half cost $14.72 or less, and three in four cost $113.88 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $113.88, and the dearest tenth starts at $295.46.

The group moved +18.1%. These are the Rare Secret cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 283 Rare Secret cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Rare Secret group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -55.9% to +800.0% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

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

Rare Secret Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Rare Secret Pokémon cards are there?

There are 325 Rare Secret cards in this archive, and 320 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 Secret Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $14.72. Across the 320 priced cards the range runs from $1.09 to $4,500.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Rare Secret Pokémon card?

Lugia 149 from Aquapolis, at $4,500.00. It is 306× the typical price of the group.

Are Rare Secret Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 10 of 29 rarity tiers, with 19 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 325 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 Secret Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 320 of the 325 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 Secret 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 275 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Rare Secret card rose from $12.46 to $14.72, a change of +18.1%. 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 Secret Pokémon card cost?

One in four Rare Secret cards costs $5.93 or less and the cheapest on file is $1.09. Three in four cost $113.88 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 Secret Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Rare Secret cards is 340, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 130 HP, with half of them between 80 and 210 — figures counted from the 153 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Rare Secret Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

61 of the 325 Rare Secret cards are legal in Standard today and 276 in Expanded — 18.8% and 84.9% 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 Secret Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 31 of the 133 Rare Secret cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 19 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

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

Not simply by age. Among Rare Secret cards the 2003 printings sit at a typical $599.99 and the 2023 ones at $135.90, while the dearest year of all is 2003 at $599.99. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Rare Secret Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Lugia 149 from Aquapolis, which went from $500.00 to $4,500.00 — a change of +800.0% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 283 Rare Secret cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Rare Secret Pokémon cards?

Rare Secret cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Cosmic Eclipse (21 cards, typically $13.37), Chilling Reign (12 cards, typically $5.67), Evolving Skies (12 cards, typically $6.46). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
