0 of the 25 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 Celebrations Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value
The rarities printed in Celebrations, counted across all 25 cards on file.
Each bar is measured against the biggest rarity, Rare with 12 cards, so the bars compare the rarities with one another. The percentage on each row is that rarity's share of all 25 cards.
The price on each row is the middle price inside that rarity, not the price of any single card.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | 48.0% | 12 cards |
| Rare Holo | 24.0% | 6 cards |
| Rare Holo V | 16.0% | 4 cards |
| Rare Holo VMAX | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Rare Ultra | 4.0% | 1 cards |
The energy types printed in Celebrations. 23 of the 25 cards carry a type; the rest are cards with no energy type printed on them.
Bars are measured against the most printed type. Adding the rows gives 23 cards; the other 2 carry no energy type, which is why the rows do not add up to 25.
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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 28.0% | 7 cards |
| Lightning | 24.0% | 6 cards |
| Fighting | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Fire | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Metal | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Water | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Colorless | 4.0% | 1 cards |
| Darkness | 4.0% | 1 cards |
A rule box card carries a printed rule that hands the opponent an extra prize card when it is knocked out. 8 of the 25 cards in Celebrations 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.
Card kinds read from the card face. A card can carry more than one of these, so the rows are read one at a time against the 25 cards on file rather than as slices of one whole.

- The card at the end of the line costs $0.36, against $0.31 for the one it starts from — a gap of 1.2×.

Counted across all 25 Celebrations cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.
The most common rarity alone covers 48.0% 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.
Celebrations prints 5 rarities, and the top three fill 88.0% of the set between them. The other 2 split the remaining 3 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 Psychic with 7 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Darkness with 1. A gap of 6 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 Celebrations Pokémon cards print
| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 60 | 120 | 130 | 180 | 310 | 23 |
| Biggest attack | 30 | 80 | 100 | 130 | 160 | 21 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 23 Celebrations cards that carry one. The typical card is 130 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 120 and 180 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 19.4% of the highest | 60 HP |
| Lower quarter | 38.7% of the highest | 120 HP |
| Typical | 41.9% of the highest | 130 HP |
| Upper quarter | 58.1% of the highest | 180 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 310 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 21 Celebrations cards that print one. The typical card hits for 100. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 80 and 130. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

What are Celebrations Pokémon cards weak to?
What Celebrations Pokémon cards are weak to — 23 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.
An attack of this type does double damage to the card. Counted across the 23 Celebrations cards that print a weakness.

|---|---|---|
| Lightning | 30.4% | 7 cards |

Can you still play Celebrations Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?
Retreat cost is the number of energy cards discarded to move a Pokémon back to the bench. Counted across the 23 Celebrations cards that print one.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Retreat cost 0 | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Retreat cost 1 | 24.0% | 6 cards |
| Retreat cost 2 | 40.0% | 10 cards |
| Retreat cost 3 | 20.0% | 5 cards |
5 of the 25 cards on file cost three energy or more to retreat, which is where a Pokémon starts to be stuck in the active spot.
Cards that print no retreat cost at all are not Pokémon, so they never retreat and are counted in "the rest".
| Question | Cards | Share of the group |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 2 | 8.0% |
| Legal in Expanded today | 25 | 100.0% |
| Cards with an Ability | 6 | 24.0% |
| Cards with a special rule | 8 | 32.0% |
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 25 Celebrations 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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 8.0% | 2 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 100.0% | 25 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 24.0% | 6 cards |
| Cards with a special rule | 32.0% | 8 cards |
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. 5 of the 25 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.
At the other end, 2 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 23 cards. The remaining 2 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.
