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

74 of the 304 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.

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. 165 of the 304 cards in SWSH Black Star Promos 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.

Which SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 60 of the 304 SWSH Black Star Promos cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

Cards that print no retreat cost at all are not Pokémon, so they never retreat and are counted in "the rest".

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.

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 a special rule54.3%165 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. 35 of the 304 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 10 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 292 cards. The remaining 12 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards are there?

There are 304 SWSH Black Star Promos cards in this archive, and 230 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 SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $4.61. Across the 230 priced cards the range runs from $0.32 to $2,199.99, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon card?

Gengar SWSH241 from SWSH Black Star Promos, at $2,199.99. It is 477× the typical price of the group.

Are SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 67 of 145 sets, with 78 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 304 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 1.5%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 230 of the 304 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 SWSH Black Star Promos 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 254 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are SWSH Black Star Promos 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 SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical SWSH Black Star Promos card rose from $2.59 to $4.61, a change of +78.0%. 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 SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon card cost?

One in four SWSH Black Star Promos cards costs $1.53 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.32. Three in four cost $13.09 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

What is the highest HP on a SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among SWSH Black Star Promos cards is 340, and the lowest is 40. The typical one is 170 HP, with half of them between 110 and 220 — figures counted from the 292 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

88 of the 304 SWSH Black Star Promos cards are legal in Standard today and 298 in Expanded — 28.9% and 98.0% 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 SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 83 of the 283 SWSH Black Star Promos cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 47 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Which SWSH Black Star Promos Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Rayquaza V SWSH147 from SWSH Black Star Promos, which went from $5.95 to $30.04 — a change of +404.9% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 154 SWSH Black Star Promos 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 SWSH Black Star Promos 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.
