Pokémon card regulation mark at a glance
What this splits. The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.
How many groups. 7 regulation marks, holding 8,194 cards between them, of which 8,045 carry a price.
How the sizes run. From 419 cards in the smallest group to 1,634 in the largest, with the middle group holding 1,215.
How the prices run. Typical prices go from $0.26 to $0.65, and the middle of those is $0.39. Single cards inside the groups run from $0.02 to $2,259.47.
What is not counted. Cards with no price on file are excluded from every price figure, so a group's card count and its priced count can differ. Graded prices, population counts and sealed product values are not published here.
When it was read. The counts and prices on this page come from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Every Pokémon card regulation mark, biggest group first
Every regulation mark is a row: its dearest card, its name, how many cards it holds and what an ordinary card inside it costs. The list runs from the biggest group down, and the whole of it is on this one address.
Every Pokémon card regulation mark — 7 in all, most cards firstEach row carries that regulation mark's dearest card, how many cards it holds and its typical price · press a row to open it
There is no page to turn — all 7 regulation marks are on this one address. The price column is the typical price of that group, which is the middle price of the cards inside it. Prices were read on August 14, 2026.
Group size and group price do not move together. Regulation G holds the most cards (1,634), while Regulation I carries the highest typical price ($0.65) — and those are different groups.
A big group is a common one, so its cards are easy to find and usually cheap. A dear group is a scarce one. Reading both columns together is what tells you whether a card is expensive because of what it is, or because there are few of them.
How Pokémon card prices are spread across regulation marks
These bands count groups, not cards. They answer a different question from the list above: not which group is biggest, but what shape the whole split has.

※The two halves of this table count the same groups twice — once by what they cost and once by how big they are. Shares are of the 8,194 cards in this list.
Half of the 7 regulation marks have a typical price below $0.39, and the whole set of typical prices runs from $0.26 to $0.65. Inside the groups the individual cards go much wider — from $0.02 to $2,259.47.
That gap between the group middle and the single cards is the point of this axis: a cheap group can still hold an expensive card. The group tells you what to expect, not what you will pay.

Cheapest to dearest card
Middle half of the cards
Typical price (the middle card)
The tick inside the box is the middle card. The closer it sits to the box's left edge, the more the cards cluster at the cheap end of that range.
One row is one regulation mark. The thick line is the typical price, the block is the middle half of the cards inside, and the thin line runs from the cheapest card to the dearest. That scale is used because the prices here span 6 decades — on an even scale every cheap group would sit on top of one another.
Pokémon card regulation mark — what a cheap, a typical and a dear card costs in each regulation mark
※Read the three price columns together: a group where all three are close is dear all the way through, while a group with a low typical price and a very high dearest card is carrying one chased print. A dash means fewer than four cards in that group carry a price, which is too few to split into quarters.
The widest regulation marks on this page: how many times the dearest card inside costs more than a cheap one. A wide regulation mark is not an expensive regulation mark — it is one where the price of a single card tells you almost nothing about the next.

One line per regulation mark, each drawn against its own scale so the shapes can be compared rather than the heights. The figures beneath are the typical price now and the change over the 11 months on file; the ladder below ranks the same moves by size.
Change in the typical price of each regulation mark between September 12, 2025 and August 14, 2026. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction, and each row opens that regulation mark.

Every regulation mark that carries a price on both dates, biggest move first. Bar length is measured against the largest move (96.0%), not against price, so the bars compare the regulation marks with one another. Window: September 12, 2025 to August 14, 2026.
Change in the typical price of each regulation mark between September 12, 2025 and August 14, 2026, counted from 7 regulation marks that carry a price on both dates.
Taken together, Pokémon cards sorted by regulation mark rose from a typical $0.38 to $0.42 over the 11 months on file — +10.5%. The ladder shows that the whole did not move as one: 5 regulation marks rose and 2 fell over the same window.
Which regulation mark holds the most valuable Pokémon card?
The list above ranks regulation marks by what an ordinary card inside them costs. This one ranks them by their single most expensive card, which is a different question with a different answer.
This ranking has no trade-volume columnfree-data limit — how often a card actually changes hands is not published in any source this site can read without paying for it.So this section says what a card is listed at, and stops short of saying how easily it sells. A high price on a card that rarely trades is not the same as a high price on one that trades every day.
No.1Dearest card (of 7 regulation marks)
Umbreon VMAX 215 · $2,259.47 · the dearest single card in the whole regulation mark list, and it sits in Regulation E, whose ordinary card costs $0.39.
No. 1 Umbreon VMAX at $2,259.47 is $59.48 above No. 2 Gengar at $2,199.99 — 1.0 times its price.
Dearest card — against the middle of the regulation marks$2,259.47
middle of these cards $1,098.71
The four rows below are No. 2 to No. 5. Each bar is that card against Umbreon VMAX at $2,259.47, the dearest card on this page.
The last column is that one card measured against the typical price of the regulation mark it belongs to, not against the other cards on this list.
A large multiple means the regulation mark is carried by a single chased print: the card is dear but an ordinary card of that regulation mark is not. A small multiple means the group is dear all the way through. Regulation marks that record no typical price are left out of this list rather than shown as zero.
The two rankings disagree, and that is the useful part. Regulation E holds the dearest single card at $2,259.47, but Regulation I is the dearest regulation mark by typical price at $0.65. One group has a chased card in it; the other is dear all the way through — and only the second of those makes an ordinary card of that group expensive.
Pokémon card regulation mark records — the biggest, the dearest and the fastest moving
The grid above reads across all 7 regulation marks at once. These are the ends of it: the regulation marks that hold the extremes, and the single card that tops the whole list.
Regulation G holds 1,634 cards, the most of any regulation mark. Regulation I holds 1,215, yet its ordinary card costs $0.65 against $0.33.
Where they split
Size is availability, price is scarcity
A big regulation mark is a common one, so its cards are easy to find and usually cheap. A dear one is scarce. The same phrase — «the top regulation mark» — means two different things depending on which column you read.
What only this list shows
One page at a time hides the disagreement
A single regulation mark page shows one group and a card page shows one card. Only the whole regulation mark list, read side by side, shows that the leader changes with the question.

No single regulation mark holds every record. The largest is Regulation G, the dearest by typical price is Regulation I, and the one card that tops the list sits in Regulation E — three different places on this page.
The most valuable Pokémon card in every regulation mark

All 7 cards are on this one page — there is nothing folded away. Each picture opens that card's own price page; to open the regulation mark instead, use the list higher up. Prices were read on August 14, 2026.
The first six panels open the largest regulation marks on this page. The rest cut the same 20,444 cards by a different measure altogether, so a card you found here can be found again from another direction.
The bar is the number of groups, measured against the measure that splits the archive most finely. A measure with many groups cuts the archive into small, specific lists; one with few groups cuts it into broad ones. Regulation mark makes 7 of them.Back to summary
What the Pokémon cards inside each regulation mark are like
Price is only half of what separates one regulation mark from another. This table reads the cards themselves: how tough they are, how hard they hit, and what beats them.

HP and damage are the averages of the Pokémon cards inside each regulation mark. Stage and retreat cost are counted differently: each regulation mark reports its own most common value, and the figure says how many regulation marks picked the same one.

Each dot is one regulation mark: further right means tougher cards, further up means harder-hitting ones. The size of the dot is how many cards that regulation mark holds. HP and damage are the averages of the Pokémon cards inside it, so Trainer and energy cards take no part in either figure.

Pokémon card regulation mark — typical card profile of the 7 largest groups
※Typical HP and typical max damage are the averages across the Pokémon cards in that group. Main weakness, stage and retreat cost are the most common value in the group, not the only one.
Two groups can hold the same number of cards and still play nothing alike. Reading this table next to the prices above is what turns regulation mark from a label into a description — you can see whether a dear group is dear because its cards are strong, or only because there are few of them.
Pokémon card regulation mark — frequently asked questions
How many regulation marks do Pokémon cards split into?
The 8,194 English Pokémon cards on file split into 7 regulation marks. The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.
Which Pokémon card regulation mark holds the most cards?
Regulation G, with 1,634 cards — 19.9% of every card in this list. The next largest groups are listed above with their own card counts.
Which Pokémon card regulation mark is the most expensive?
By typical price, Regulation I at $0.65. The cheapest is Regulation J at $0.26. Typical price means the middle price of the cards inside that group, so half of them cost less and half cost more.

Umbreon VMAX 215 from Evolving Skies, at $2,259.47. It sits in the Regulation E group.
Do all Pokémon cards have a regulation mark?
No. 8,194 of the 20,444 English cards on file carry one, which is 40.1% of them. The rest are outside this axis and are not counted anywhere on this page.
Why do some Pokémon card regulation marks have no price?
Every group has a price, but not every card does. 8,045 of the 8,194 cards in this list carry a price on file; the rest have never been listed at a price this archive could read, so they are left out of the price columns rather than guessed at.
How often are these Pokémon card regulation mark prices updated?
Prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings. The counts and prices on this page were read on August 14, 2026. Card facts — which card belongs to which group — come from openly published card files and change only when a new set is added.
Are Pokémon cards going up in value by regulation mark?
Over the last 11 months the typical Pokémon card that carries a regulation mark rose from $0.38 to $0.42, a change of +10.5%. The split did not move as one: 5 regulation marks rose and 2 fell over the same window.

Regulation E, whose typical card went to $0.39 — a change of +50.0%. At the other end, Regulation J changed by -96.0% over the same window. Each group is ranked on this page with its own figure.
Which Pokémon card regulation mark holds the most valuable card?
Regulation E — it holds Umbreon VMAX 215 at $2,259.47, the dearest single card anywhere in this list. That is a different question from which group is dearest on average, which is Regulation I at a typical $0.65.
How much does a cheap Pokémon card cost, by regulation mark?
It depends entirely on the group. In Regulation J a quarter of the cards cost $0.17 or less, which is the cheapest entry point of any regulation mark in this list. The table on this page gives the same figure for every group, so you can see where an inexpensive card is genuinely inexpensive.
Does regulation mark tell you what a Pokémon card is worth?
Only roughly. Typical prices across the 7 regulation marks run from $0.26 to $0.65 — a spread of 3× — but inside a single group the dearest card reaches $2,259.47 while the cheapest is $0.02. The group tells you what to expect; the card itself decides.
How these counts are made, and where you can check them
Every figure on this page is counted from the 8,194 English cards this site holds on file — 8,045 of them with a price read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive.

What this page counts when it counts regulation marks, and what it leaves out
This page counts the 20,444 English cards this site holds on file, not every Pokémon card ever printed. Cards in other languages are not in these figures.
Only 8,194 of those cards record a regulation mark at all, so the regulation marks below add up to that number and not to 20,444.
Prices are read from 8,045 cards. The remaining 149 carry no price in the archive, so they are left out of every price figure rather than counted as zero.
A regulation mark appears here only when it is big enough to stand on its own — at least 24 cards, 12 of them priced, and 10 with a card image. Smaller ones are still counted in the totals above.
Every price is a median, not an average. One chased card can be worth thousands of times an ordinary one, and an average would let that single card speak for the whole group.
These figures are a snapshot of a market that moves. Nothing here is an offer, a valuation or advice to buy or sell.
Prices read on August 14, 2026 · card facts counted on the same file.
Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English 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, so a regulation mark can hold cards that are not counted here. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
