Which Regulation I cards share a name across several printings?

18 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 8 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 Regulation I 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 Regulation I cards as a group rather than for one card.

Typical Regulation I card price, September 12, 2025 to August 14, 2026

Each point is the middle price of the 1,215 priced Regulation I 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 Regulation I card fell from $2.51 to $0.65 over the 11 months on file — -74.1%. A falling middle means the ordinary card of this group got cheaper, which is not always visible from the most expensive card alone.

How Regulation I Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 1,215 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 1,215 priced Regulation I cards, from $0.05 to $1,098.16, 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 Regulation I card with a price falls into price bands — 1,215 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 Regulation I card actually sits. Bands read the market price of each card on August 14, 2026.

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 Regulation I card is $14.34 while the typical one is $0.65. 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 1,215 priced Regulation I cards cost

One in four Regulation I cards costs $0.25 or less, half cost $0.65 or less, and three in four cost $9.91 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $9.91, and the dearest tenth starts at $24.07.

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Regulation I group fell over this window, yet the cards above ran from -76.1% to +1,304.7% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

Which kinds of card carry the Regulation I mark — Pokémon, Trainer or Energy?

Why the HP figures use a smaller denominator

Only 1,041 of these 1,215 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 Regulation I Pokémon cards?

Regulation I cards appear in 2 series, and Scarlet & Violet carries the most of them with 710 cards.

Scarlet & Violettypically $2.72710 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 Regulation I.
