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

0 of the 117 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.

Which Generations cards share a name across several printings?

8 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 4 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.

Are Generations Pokémon cards going up in value?

This is the middle price of the whole set on each reading day, so it answers the question for Generations as a set rather than for one card.

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. 38 of the 117 cards in Generations 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 117 Generations cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 35.0% 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.

Generations prints 6 rarities, and the top three fill 78.6% of the set between them. The other 3 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 Psychic with 13 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Darkness with 1. A gap of 12 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 Generations Pokémon cards print

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

14 of the 117 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 117 Generations 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. 14 of the 117 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 7 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 89 cards. The remaining 28 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Which Generations Pokémon cards moved most this year

The set line is made of single cards, and they do not all move together. These are the two ends of that spread over the last twelve months.

Counted on the 79 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

The cheapest Generations Pokémon cards you can buy

The opposite end of the list above — the 6 Generations cards with the lowest price on file.

Read on the same day as every other figure on this page. A cheap card is not a broken card — most of a set sits down here, which is what makes a set collectable at all.

Generations Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Generations Pokémon cards are there?

There are 117 Generations cards in this archive, and 117 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 Generations Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $5.49. Across the 117 priced cards the range runs from $0.38 to $252.79, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Generations Pokémon card?

Flareon-EX RC28 from Generations, at $252.79. It is 46× the typical price of the group.

Are Generations Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 60 of 145 sets, with 85 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 117 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.6%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Generations Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 117 of the 117 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 Generations 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 67 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Generations card rose from $2.16 to $5.49, a change of +154.2%. 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 Generations Pokémon card cost?

One in four Generations cards costs $1.12 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.38. Three in four cost $16.17 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Generations Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Ultra is the dearest kind of Generations card: 7 of them are on file and the middle one costs $120.05. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Generations Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Generations cards is 230, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 90 HP, with half of them between 60 and 130 — figures counted from the 89 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Generations Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

11 of the 117 Generations cards are legal in Standard today and 116 in Expanded — 9.4% and 99.1% 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 Generations Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Metal — 15 of the 89 Generations cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Grass next at 13 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Which Generations Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Diglett 38 from Generations, which went from $1.30 to $7.21 — a change of +454.6% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 79 Generations cards that carried a price on both days.

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

Every figure on this page is counted from the 117 Generations cards this site holds on file — 117 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 Generations 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.
