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

0 of the 237 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 Evolving Skies 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. 124 of the 237 cards in Evolving Skies 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 237 Evolving Skies cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 21.5% 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.

Evolving Skies prints 9 rarities, and the top three fill 55.3% of the set between them. The other 6 split the remaining 106 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 36 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Fire with 8. A gap of 28 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 Evolving Skies Pokémon cards print

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

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.

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 237 Evolving Skies 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. 39 of the 237 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 14 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 193 cards. The remaining 44 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Which Evolving Skies 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 89 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

Evolving Skies Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Evolving Skies Pokémon cards are there?

There are 237 Evolving Skies cards in this archive, and 237 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.

How much is a Evolving Skies Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.38. Across the 237 priced cards the range runs from $0.15 to $2,259.47, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

How much does a cheap Evolving Skies Pokémon card cost?

Before you rely on these figures

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