How much is a BREAKthrough Pokémon card worth?

The typical BREAKthrough card costs $0.96. Across the 165 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.28 and the dearest is $190.01 — Mewtwo-EX 163, at $190.01. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

BREAKthrough Pokémon cards at a glance

What this group is. 165 cards share the set xy8. 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.
What they cost. The typical card is $0.96. Across the 165 priced cards the range runs $0.28 to $190.01.
Where it stands. No. 97 of 145 sets by typical price, with 48 of them cheaper.
What the cards are like. They average 99 HP and 48 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Grass.
What is listed below. The 50 most expensive of the 165 cards that carry a price, each with its own price page. Cards without a price are counted in the total but are not listed.
When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

0 of the 165 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.

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. 47 of the 165 cards in BREAKthrough 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 165 BREAKthrough cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row.

The most common rarity alone covers 32.1% 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.

BREAKthrough prints 8 rarities, and the top three fill 74.5% of the set between them. The other 5 split the remaining 42 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 Metal with 2. A gap of 21 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 BREAKthrough Pokémon cards print

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

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. 21 of the 165 cards here sit at that level, which is the argument for packing switch cards alongside them.

At the other end, 8 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 142 cards. The remaining 23 print no retreat cost at all — they never stand in the active spot, so they never retreat.

Which BREAKthrough 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 52 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

BREAKthrough Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many BREAKthrough Pokémon cards are there?

There are 165 BREAKthrough cards in this archive, and 165 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 BREAKthrough Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.96. Across the 165 priced cards the range runs from $0.28 to $190.01, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive BREAKthrough Pokémon card?

Mewtwo-EX 163 from BREAKthrough, at $190.01. It is 198× the typical price of the group.

Are BREAKthrough Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 97 of 145 sets, with 48 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 165 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.8%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all BREAKthrough Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 165 of the 165 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 BREAKthrough 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 115 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical BREAKthrough card rose from $0.71 to $0.96, a change of +35.2%. 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 BREAKthrough Pokémon card cost?

One in four BREAKthrough cards costs $0.58 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.28. Three in four cost $3.98 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which BREAKthrough Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Ultra is the dearest kind of BREAKthrough card: 10 of them are on file and the middle one costs $48.01. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a BREAKthrough Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among BREAKthrough cards is 230, and the lowest is 30. The typical one is 90 HP, with half of them between 60 and 130 — figures counted from the 142 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are BREAKthrough Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

2 of the 165 BREAKthrough cards are legal in Standard today and 165 in Expanded — 1.2% 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 BREAKthrough Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Grass — 22 of the 131 BREAKthrough cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fighting next at 19 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Which BREAKthrough Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Cyndaquil 18 from BREAKthrough, which went from $2.38 to $12.25 — a change of +414.7% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 52 BREAKthrough 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 BREAKthrough 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.
