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 Retreat cost 4 card is $30.74 while the typical one is $2.26. 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 704 priced Retreat cost 4 cards cost

One in four Retreat cost 4 cards costs $0.55 or less, half cost $2.26 or less, and three in four cost $16.53 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $16.53, and the dearest tenth starts at $79.26.

How much HP and damage Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Retreat cost 4 card prints the same number or they run from one end of the scale to the other. These five points show which of the two is happening.

What are Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards weak to?

Can you still play Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?

Price is only half of what separates this group from the one next to it. These are the conditions you meet when you actually put a Retreat cost 4 card on the table, across all 729 of them.
Standard
190 cards you can play today
190 of the 729 Retreat cost 4 cards are legal in Standard, the format most tournaments run. That is 26.1% of the group.
Expanded only
430 more that need the older format
These 430 have rotated out of Standard but are still legal in Expanded, which reaches back much further.
Neither
109 that no current format accepts
109 of the group — 15.0% — are collector cards now rather than deck cards.

Which Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +37.0%. These are the Retreat cost 4 cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 372 Retreat cost 4 cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

372 Retreat cost 4 cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Retreat cost 4 group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -53.1% to +1,036.7% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

Back to summary

The cheapest Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards you can buy

A group price hides its own floor. These are the 6 least expensive Retreat cost 4 cards carrying a price, which is what the group costs to start rather than what its best card costs.

Read from the same daily price archive as the rest of this page. A low price usually means the card is common rather than that it is a bargain.

How Retreat cost 4 compares with the other retreat costs

Every retreat cost in this list is ranked by its typical price. The bar is that price against the dearest group, and the highlighted row is where Retreat cost 4 sits.

Bar length is the typical price against Retreat cost 0, the dearest retreat cost at $5.20. The row without a link is this group.

5 retreat costs in totalSee them all

Retreat cost 4 is No. 5 of 5 retreat costs by typical price, with 0 of them cheaper and 4 dearer. Rank is not the same as scarcity: a group can rank high because a handful of its cards are chased, while most of it stays affordable — the price ladder above shows which of those two is happening here.

How much energy do Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 727 Retreat cost 4 cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards — energy asked for by the cheapest printed attack, 727 cards counted

Each symbol is one Energy card of any type, which is how the cost is recorded: as a number of cards rather than a list of types. Cards that print no attack are left out of this count rather than entered as zero.

How the retreat costs compare on HP, damage and how hard they hit for their size

Price is one ladder, and the numbers printed on the cards are another. These are the 5 retreat costs side by side, each on its own averages, with Retreat cost 4 among them.

Retreat cost 32,168150990.66Basic

Damage per HP is that group's average biggest attack divided by its average HP: a larger number means the group hits harder for the size it prints. Both averages are counted only across the cards that carry the number at all, and Trainer and Energy cards carry neither. Only groups large enough to have their own page are listed.

The dearest and the cheapest Retreat cost 4 Pokémon card, side by side

Both of these are Retreat cost 4 cards, and one costs 14,363 times what the other does. That gap is why a single group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.
Back to summary

Which Retreat cost 4 Pokémon cards you have to evolve into

A Basic card is played straight from the hand. Every later stage has to arrive on top of the card before it, so an evolved Retreat cost 4 card costs you deck slots and turns that a Basic one does not.
