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

23 of the 114 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.

Which Delta Species cards share a name across several printings?

9 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 2 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.

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. 51 of the 114 cards in Delta Species 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 114 Delta Species cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 30.7% 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.

Delta Species prints 7 rarities, and the top three fill 78.1% of the set between them. The other 4 split the remaining 25 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 Lightning with 19 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Darkness with 3. A gap of 16 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 Delta Species Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Delta Species 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 Delta Species Pokémon cards resist — 29 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.

Resistance cuts incoming damage from that type. Only some Delta Species cards print one, which is why this count is smaller than the card total.

5 of the 114 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".

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 114 Delta Species 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.

Cards with a special rule44.7%51 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 114 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 8 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 95 cards. The remaining 19 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

How many Delta Species Pokémon cards are there?

There are 114 Delta Species cards in this archive, and 91 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.

How much is a Delta Species Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $29.31. Across the 91 priced cards the range runs from $0.51 to $1,010.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

How much does a cheap Delta Species Pokémon card cost?

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Delta Species 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.
