Which Rare Ultra cards share a name across several printings?

2 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 1 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 Ultra 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 Ultra cards as a group rather than for one card.

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

Each point is the middle price of the 796 priced Rare Ultra 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 Ultra card rose from $13.42 to $17.97 over the 11 months on file — +33.9%. 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 Ultra Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 796 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 796 priced Rare Ultra cards, from $0.82 to $3,157.93, 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 Ultra card is $67.14 while the typical one is $17.97. 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 796 priced Rare Ultra cards cost

One in four Rare Ultra cards costs $4.84 or less, half cost $17.97 or less, and three in four cost $61.22 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $61.22, and the dearest tenth starts at $179.23.

The group moved +33.9%. These are the Rare Ultra cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 745 Rare Ultra 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 Ultra group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -40.2% to +325.0% — 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 536 of these 798 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 Ultra Pokémon cards?

Rare Ultra cards appear in 4 series, and Sword & Shield carries the most of them with 356 cards.

Both are recorded as Rare Ultra 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.

Rarity alone does not price a card

The middle Rare Ultra card costs $17.97, 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 Ultra Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Rare Ultra Pokémon cards are there?

There are 798 Rare Ultra cards in this archive, and 796 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 Ultra Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $17.97. Across the 796 priced cards the range runs from $0.82 to $3,157.93, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Rare Ultra Pokémon card?

Latias & Latios-GX 170 from Team Up, at $3,157.93. It is 176× the typical price of the group.

Are Rare Ultra Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 7 of 29 rarity tiers, with 22 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 798 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 3.9%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Rare Ultra Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 796 of the 798 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 Ultra 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 748 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Rare Ultra card rose from $13.42 to $17.97, a change of +33.9%. 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 Ultra Pokémon card cost?

One in four Rare Ultra cards costs $4.84 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.82. Three in four cost $61.22 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 Ultra Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Rare Ultra cards is 300, and the lowest is 60. The typical one is 200 HP, with half of them between 180 and 220 — figures counted from the 536 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Rare Ultra Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

135 of the 798 Rare Ultra cards are legal in Standard today and 790 in Expanded — 16.9% and 99.0% 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 Ultra Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 96 of the 480 Rare Ultra cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 95 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

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

Not simply by age. Among Rare Ultra cards the 2011 printings sit at a typical $62.32 and the 2023 ones at $4.46, while the dearest year of all is 2012 at $219.47. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Rare Ultra Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Emolga-EX 143 from XY, which went from $13.33 to $56.65 — a change of +325.0% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 745 Rare Ultra cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Rare Ultra Pokémon cards?

Rare Ultra cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Chilling Reign (39 cards, typically $11.45), Evolving Skies (38 cards, typically $20.01), Astral Radiance (30 cards, typically $4.63). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.
