How much is a Psychic Pokémon card worth?
The typical Psychic card costs $3.09. Across the 2,250 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.05 and the dearest is $2,199.99 — Gengar SWSH241, at $2,199.99. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

Back to summaryHow much HP and damage Psychic Pokémon cards print
| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 30 | 60 | 80 | 120 | 360 | 2,334 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 20 | 30 | 70 | 300 | 1,992 |
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.
HP printed on the 2,334 Psychic cards that carry one. The typical card is 80 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 60 and 120 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 8.3% of the highest | 30 HP |
| Lower quarter | 16.7% of the highest | 60 HP |
| Typical | 22.2% of the highest | 80 HP |
| Upper quarter | 33.3% of the highest | 120 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 360 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 1,992 Psychic cards that print one. The typical card hits for 30. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 20 and 70. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 3.3% of the highest | 10 damage |
| Lower quarter | 6.7% of the highest | 20 damage |
| Typical | 10.0% of the highest | 30 damage |
| Upper quarter | 23.3% of the highest | 70 damage |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 300 damage |
What are Psychic Pokémon cards weak to?
Weakness doubles the damage a card takes. In this group it lands almost entirely on one type, so a single counter answers most of it.
How the 2,262 cards that print a weakness are split
| Weak to | Cards | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Psychic | 42.4% | |

Back to summaryWhich Psychic Pokémon cards print a resistance?
What Psychic Pokémon cards resist — 1,017 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.
Resistance cuts incoming damage from that type. Only some Psychic cards print one, which is why this count is smaller than the card total.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Fighting | 91.1% | 926 cards |
| Colorless | 7.7% | 78 cards |

How do Psychic Pokémon cards evolve?
The 6 cards above are different Pokémon. One card stands in for each printed stage so the order is visible — it is not the evolution of a single Pokémon.
- The printed stage climbs Basic → Baby → Stage 1 → Stage 2 → BREAK → Level-Up inside this group.
- 1,408 of the 2,277 cards that print a stage are Basic — they go down straight from the hand with nothing underneath.
- Across the cards drawn on this page HP runs from 30 to 310, and the later stages sit at the top of that range.
| Stage | Cards | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 61.8% | |
| Stage 1 | 28.4% | |
| Stage 2 | 8.8% | |
| Level-Up | 0.6% | |
| BREAK | 0.2% | |
| Baby | 0.1% |
Basic cards are played straight from the hand; the later stages have to evolve from the card before them. Trainer and Energy cards print no stage and are left out of this count.

| Cards with an Ability | 753 | 32.2% |
| Cards with a special rule | 455 | 19.5% |
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 2,335 Psychic cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

Back to summaryThe cheapest Psychic Pokémon cards you can buy
Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $0.39, against $2,199.99 for the single dearest Psychic card. The two ends of the same group sit 44,000× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Psychic".
How Psychic compares with the other types
"Which type is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Psychic is number 5 of 11 types, on SWSH Black Star Promos #SWSH241 at $2,199.99. By card count it is number 3, and by the price of an ordinary card number 6 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
All 11 types by the price of an ordinary card. Track length is that price against Lightning, the dearest at $3.75.
These are the types that sit next to Psychic on that ladder.
How many Psychic Pokémon cards are there, and how big is the type?
Every card that prints a type symbol falls into one of these 11 groups.
Size is the first thing people mean by "big", so it gets its own ranking here.
Counted by how many cards exist, Psychic is number 3 of 11 types with 2,335. By the price of an ordinary card it is number 6 — size and price are two different questions, and this page keeps them apart.
The 12 dearest of the 2,335 cards in this group, read on 2026-08-14. The symbol beside each card is the type it prints.
Every figure here is the same count read three ways. The needle on each track is the baseline that row compares against, so a bar that stops short of the needle is a group smaller than that baseline.
Which Pokémon have the most Psychic cards
Each one opens that Pokémon's own page, which answers for every printing of it rather than only the Psychic ones.

Before you rely on these figures
Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Psychic 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.
