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

0 of the 186 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 Brilliant Stars cards share a name across several printings?

20 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.

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. 85 of the 186 cards in Brilliant Stars 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 186 Brilliant Stars cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

All 10 rarities are drawnBy card countNot split into pages — every rarity in the set is above.

The most common rarity alone covers 24.7% 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.

Brilliant Stars prints 10 rarities, and the top three fill 61.3% of the set between them. The other 7 split the remaining 72 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 23 cards, and the thinnest type on file is Lightning with 10. A gap of 13 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 Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards print

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

Half of these cards sit between 80 and 200 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

Which Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 33 of the 186 Brilliant Stars cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

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. 23 of the 186 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 3 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 151 cards. The remaining 35 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards are there?

There are 186 Brilliant Stars cards in this archive, and 186 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 Brilliant Stars Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.28. Across the 186 priced cards the range runs from $0.08 to $321.73, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Brilliant Stars Pokémon card?

Charizard V 154 from Brilliant Stars, at $321.73. It is 1,149× the typical price of the group.

Are Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 135 of 145 sets, with 10 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 186 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.9%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 186 of the 186 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 Brilliant Stars 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 136 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Brilliant Stars 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 Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Brilliant Stars card rose from $0.21 to $0.28, a change of +33.3%. 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 Brilliant Stars Pokémon card cost?

One in four Brilliant Stars cards costs $0.22 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.08. Three in four cost $1.09 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Secret is the dearest kind of Brilliant Stars card: 6 of them are on file and the middle one costs $15.12. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Brilliant Stars Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Brilliant Stars cards is 330, and the lowest is 40. The typical one is 120 HP, with half of them between 80 and 200 — figures counted from the 151 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

166 of the 186 Brilliant Stars cards are legal in Standard today and 186 in Expanded — 89.2% and 100.0% 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 Brilliant Stars Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fire — 28 of the 141 Brilliant Stars 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 Brilliant Stars Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Mimikyu VMAX 69 from Brilliant Stars, which went from $3.84 to $10.88 — a change of +183.3% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 44 Brilliant Stars cards that carried a price on both days.

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Brilliant Stars 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.
