What they cost. The typical card is $6.00. Across the 133 priced cards the range runs $0.66 to $189.20.
Where it stands. No. 56 of 145 sets by typical price, with 89 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 84 HP and 42 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Fire.
What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 133 cards that carry a price, each with its own price page. Cards without a price are counted in the total but are not listed.

Which Platinum cards share a name across several printings?

12 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.

How Platinum Pokémon card prices are spread

One number cannot describe a set whose cards run from pocket change to several hundred dollars. These points and the two ends below show the shape of it.

An average hides the shape of a set. These points say where the money actually sits among Platinum cards.

What Platinum Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

Platinum prints 6 rarities across its 133 cards, and the biggest of them is Uncommon with 42 cards.

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. 24 of the 133 cards in Platinum 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 133 Platinum cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 31.6% 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.

Platinum prints 6 rarities, and the top three fill 80.5% 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 Grass with 24 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Darkness with 5. A gap of 19 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 Platinum Pokémon cards print

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

Platinum Pokémon cards — how far apart the numbers on the cards sit

HP	40	60	80	100	150	117
Biggest attack	10	20	40	60	150	108

Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.

What are Platinum Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 115 Platinum cards that print one, the most common is Fire on 27 of them.

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

Retreat cost is the energy discarded to move a Pokémon back to the bench, and 18 of the 133 Platinum cards cost three or more.

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 an Ability	25.6%	34 cards
Cards with a special rule	18.0%	24 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. 18 of the 133 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 16 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 115 cards. The remaining 18 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Platinum Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Platinum Pokémon cards are there?

There are 133 Platinum cards in this archive, and 133 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 Platinum Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $6.00. Across the 133 priced cards the range runs from $0.66 to $189.20, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Platinum Pokémon card?

Dialga G LV.X 122 from Platinum, at $189.20. It is 32× the typical price of the group.

Are Platinum Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 56 of 145 sets, with 89 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 133 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.7%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Platinum Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 133 of the 133 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 Platinum 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 83 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Platinum card rose from $3.76 to $6.00, a change of +59.6%. 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 Platinum Pokémon card cost?

One in four Platinum cards costs $3.09 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.66. Three in four cost $18.59 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Platinum Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Holo LV.X is the dearest kind of Platinum card: 6 of them are on file and the middle one costs $87.61. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Platinum Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Platinum cards is 150, and the lowest is 40. The typical one is 80 HP, with half of them between 60 and 100 — figures counted from the 117 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Platinum Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

1 of the 133 Platinum cards are legal in Standard today and 4 in Expanded — 0.8% and 3.0% 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 Platinum Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fire — 27 of the 115 Platinum cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Lightning next at 26 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Which Platinum Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Happiny 76 from Platinum, which went from $1.37 to $9.11 — a change of +565.0% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 109 Platinum cards that carried a price on both days.

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

Every figure on this page is counted from the 133 Platinum cards this site holds on file — 133 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 Platinum 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.
