How much is a Emerald Pokémon card worth?

The typical Emerald card costs $21.00. Across the 89 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.64 and the dearest is $479.99 — Milotic ex 96, at $479.99. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

Which Emerald cards share a name across several printings?

4 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. 26 of the 107 cards in Emerald 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 107 Emerald cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 29.9% 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.

Emerald prints 6 rarities, and the top three fill 75.7% of the set between them. The other 3 split the remaining 26 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 Colorless with 14 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Metal with 1. 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 Emerald Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Emerald 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 Emerald Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 84 Emerald cards that print one, the most common is Psychic on 18 of them.

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

Cards with a special rule	24.3%	26 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. 2 of the 107 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 3 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 86 cards. The remaining 21 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Emerald Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Emerald Pokémon cards are there?

There are 107 Emerald cards in this archive, and 89 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 Emerald Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $21.00. Across the 89 priced cards the range runs from $0.64 to $479.99, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Emerald Pokémon card?

Milotic ex 96 from Emerald, at $479.99. It is 23× the typical price of the group.

Are Emerald Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 20 of 145 sets, with 125 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 107 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 Emerald Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 89 of the 107 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 Emerald 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 57 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Emerald 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 Emerald Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Emerald card rose from $8.68 to $21.00, a change of +141.9%. 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 Emerald Pokémon card cost?

One in four Emerald cards costs $4.74 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.64. Three in four cost $48.51 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Emerald Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Holo EX is the dearest kind of Emerald card: 11 of them are on file and the middle one costs $165.00. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Emerald Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Emerald cards is 130, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 70 HP, with half of them between 50 and 80 — figures counted from the 86 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Emerald Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

7 of the 107 Emerald cards are legal in Standard today and 8 in Expanded — 6.5% and 7.5% 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 Emerald Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Psychic — 18 of the 84 Emerald cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fighting next at 17 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Which Emerald Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Shroomish 63 from Emerald, which went from $4.85 to $32.99 — a change of +580.2% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 74 Emerald cards that carried a price on both days.

How these Emerald figures are collected, and where you can check them

Every figure on this page is counted from the 107 Emerald cards this site holds on file — 89 of them with a price read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive. Nothing here is estimated: a card with no price is left out of the price columns rather than filled in. The places below are where the same card information can be checked.

Before you rely on these figures

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