The 39 most expensive Kalos Starter Set cards on file, dearest first. The badge on each card is its market price.

0 of the 39 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.

A rule box card carries a printed rule that hands the opponent an extra prize card when it is knocked out. 6 of the 39 cards in Kalos Starter Set 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.

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

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

The rows above add up to 33 cards. The remaining 6 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.
