A rule box card carries a printed rule that hands the opponent an extra prize card when it is knocked out. 21 of the 124 cards in HeartGold & SoulSilver 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 124 HeartGold & SoulSilver cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 32.3% 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.

HeartGold & SoulSilver prints 7 rarities, and the top three fill 79.8% 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 Water with 22 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Lightning with 7. A gap of 15 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 HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards print

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

Which HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 36 of the 124 HeartGold & SoulSilver cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

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.

Legal in Expanded today	16.1%	20 cards
Cards with an Ability	19.4%	24 cards
Cards with a special rule	16.9%	21 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. 9 of the 124 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 12 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 99 cards. The remaining 25 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards are there?

There are 124 HeartGold & SoulSilver cards in this archive, and 94 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 HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $10.47. Across the 94 priced cards the range runs from $0.69 to $380.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon card?

Lugia LEGEND 113 from HeartGold & SoulSilver, at $380.00. It is 36× the typical price of the group.

Are HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards rare?

Do all HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards have a price?

How often are HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon card prices updated?

What are HeartGold & SoulSilver Pokémon cards weak to?

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English HeartGold & SoulSilver 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.
