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

0 of the 98 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.

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. 7 of the 98 cards in Emerging Powers 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.

Counted across all 98 Emerging Powers cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 34.7% 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.

Emerging Powers prints 5 rarities, and the top three fill 87.8% of the set between them. The other 2 split the remaining 12 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 17 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Fire with 4. A gap of 13 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 Emerging Powers Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Emerging Powers 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.

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 98 Emerging Powers 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. 10 of the 98 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 4 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 91 cards. The remaining 7 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Emerging Powers Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Emerging Powers Pokémon cards are there?

There are 98 Emerging Powers cards in this archive, and 98 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 Emerging Powers Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $1.48. Across the 98 priced cards the range runs from $0.34 to $23.31, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Emerging Powers Pokémon card?

Thundurus 97 from Emerging Powers, at $23.31. It is 16× the typical price of the group.

Are Emerging Powers Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 84 of 145 sets, with 61 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 98 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.

How often are Emerging Powers Pokémon card prices updated?

Are Emerging Powers Pokémon cards going up in value?

How much does a cheap Emerging Powers Pokémon card cost?

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Emerging Powers 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.
