The 50 most expensive Legendary Collection cards on file, dearest first. The badge on each card is its market price.

0 of the 110 cards on file carry no published price, so they are counted in every total on this page but are not drawn here rather than shown with a guessed figure.

The grid above runs dearest first. This list runs in printing order — by card number inside the set — so a card can be found the way it sits in a binder rather than by what it costs.

Each row opens that card's own price page.

What Legendary Collection Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

Each bar is measured against the biggest rarity, Common with 36 cards, so the bars compare the rarities with one another. The percentage on each row is that rarity's share of all 110 cards.

A wide spread of types means a set can supply the start of almost any deck. A set that leans on two or three types only helps those decks.

the real reason to run one

A rule box card carries a printed rule that hands the opponent an extra prize card when it is knocked out. 11 of the 110 cards in Legendary Collection carry one.

The count is read from the printed rule on the card face, so it covers ex, V, GX and every other rule box wording without needing a list of names.

Rare Holo19 17.3%$176.00

Counted across all 110 Legendary Collection cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 32.7% of the set. The thicker that layer is, the less it costs to put a first deck together — the frame gets built out of cards that fall out of packs, and the scarce ones are kept for the slots that decide a game.

Legendary Collection prints 4 rarities, and the top three fill 82.7% of the set between them. The other 1 split the remaining 19 cards, which is the usual shape: the scarcer the tier, the more tiers there are and the fewer cards sit in each.

By energy type the set leans on Grass with 19 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Lightning with 8. A gap of 11 cards between the widest and the narrowest type is what decides whether this set can start a deck of any colour or only feeds two of them.

How much HP and damage Legendary Collection Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Legendary Collection 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.

Cards that print no retreat cost at all are not Pokémon, so they never retreat and are counted in "the rest".

Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.

Each track is the whole of the 110 Legendary Collection cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.

These rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so each bar is read on its own.

A card that costs three energy or more to retreat is stuck in practice: paying it empties the board of the energy that was meant to attack. 17 of the 110 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 16 cards retreat for free. Those are the ones that open a game, because moving them out costs nothing that was going to be spent on an attack.

The rows above add up to 99 cards. The remaining 11 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Legendary Collection Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Legendary Collection Pokémon cards are there?

There are 110 Legendary Collection cards in this archive, and 110 of them carry a price. A set is the expansion a card was printed in, and every card in the card files this site reads names exactly one. Sorting by set puts each release back together the way it was sold, so a card can be read next to the cards it shared a pack with.

How much is a Legendary Collection Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $80.30. Across the 110 priced cards the range runs from $0.31 to $749.99, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Legendary Collection Pokémon card?

Articuno 2 from Legendary Collection, at $749.99. It is 9× the typical price of the group.

Are Legendary Collection Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 1 of 145 sets, with 144 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 110 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.5%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Legendary Collection Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 110 of the 110 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 Legendary Collection 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 60 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Legendary Collection 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 Legendary Collection Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Legendary Collection card rose from $45.45 to $80.30, a change of +76.7%. 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 Legendary Collection Pokémon card cost?

One in four Legendary Collection cards costs $7.67 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.31. Three in four cost $148.39 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Legendary Collection Pokémon cards are worth the most?

What is the highest HP on a Legendary Collection Pokémon card?

Are Legendary Collection Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

2 of the 110 Legendary Collection cards are legal in Standard today and 4 in Expanded — 1.8% and 3.6% 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 Legendary Collection Pokémon cards weak to?

Magneton 28 from Legendary Collection, which went from $39.50 to $239.99 — a change of +507.6% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 92 Legendary Collection cards that carried a price on both days.

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Legendary Collection 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. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
