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

0 of the 120 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 Pitch Black cards share a name across several printings?

21 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 8 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. 47 of the 120 cards in Pitch Black 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 120 Pitch Black cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 30.8% 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.

Pitch Black prints 8 rarities, and the top three fill 67.5% of the set between them. The other 5 split the remaining 39 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 Darkness with 18 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Fire with 7. A gap of 11 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 Pitch Black Pokémon cards print

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

Each track is the whole of the 120 Pitch Black 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. 18 of the 120 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 1 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 25 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

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.
