Which Holofoil cards share a name across several printings?

4 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 2 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.

This is the middle price of the whole group on each reading day, so it answers the question for Holofoil cards as a group rather than for one card.

The typical Holofoil card rose from $4.94 to $7.36 over the 11 months on file — +49.0%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How Holofoil Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 7,484 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 7,484 priced Holofoil cards, from $0.10 to $4,500.00, with the tenfold steps evenly spaced. The last one is read differently — it counts cards rather than dollars, and says so in its own label.

The two columns are different groups of cards, not two readings of the same one — the right column is the dearest end of the left one. "Typical" is the middle price, which half the cards sit below; "average" is pulled upward by the few very expensive cards, which is why the two differ.

The average price of a Holofoil card is $43.22 while the typical one is $7.36. The gap between those two numbers is the shape of this group: a small number of very expensive cards is dragging the average far above what most cards actually cost.

What three quarters of the 7,484 priced Holofoil cards cost

One in four Holofoil cards costs $1.98 or less, half cost $7.36 or less, and three in four cost $30.04 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $30.04, and the dearest tenth starts at $100.00.

What Holofoil Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

The group price says what an ordinary Holofoil card costs. These tables break the group down by rarity, set and card kind, each row beside its own typical price, so you can tell a $1 card from a $100 one before you look it up.

How much HP and damage Holofoil Pokémon cards print

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

What are Holofoil Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 5,998 Holofoil cards that print one, the most common is Fighting on 1,270 of them.

Can you still play Holofoil Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?

Price is only half of what separates this group from the one next to it. These are the conditions you meet when you actually put a Holofoil card on the table, across all 7,484 of them.
Standard
2,882 cards you can play today
2,882 of the 7,484 Holofoil cards are legal in Standard, the format most tournaments run. That is 38.5% of the group.
Expanded only
3,609 more that need the older format
These 3,609 have rotated out of Standard but are still legal in Expanded, which reaches back much further.

Which Holofoil Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved +49.0%. These are the Holofoil cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 5,440 Holofoil cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

5,440 Holofoil cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The Holofoil group rose over this window, yet the cards above ran from -82.0% to +1,304.7% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

Back to summary

The cheapest Holofoil Pokémon cards you can buy

A group price hides its own floor. These are the 6 least expensive Holofoil cards carrying a price, which is what the group costs to start rather than what its best card costs.

Read from the same daily price archive as the rest of this page. A low price usually means the card is common rather than that it is a bargain.

The same 6 cards with their set and number

Set and number are what you match against a listing; two cards with the same name are different cards if either of those differs.

How Holofoil compares with the other finishes

Every finish in this list is ranked by its typical price. The bar is that price against the dearest group, and the highlighted row is where Holofoil sits.

Bar length is the typical price against 1st Edition Holofoil, the dearest finish at $133.98. The row without a link is this group.

5 finishes in totalSee them all

Holofoil is No. 3 of 5 finishes by typical price, with 2 of them cheaper and 2 dearer. Rank is not the same as scarcity: a group can rank high because a handful of its cards are chased, while most of it stays affordable — the price ladder above shows which of those two is happening here.

Back to summary

How much energy do Holofoil Pokémon cards need to attack?

A card does nothing on the table until it has been paid for in energy. Across the 6,473 Holofoil cards that print an attack at all, this is what the cheapest attack on each of them asks for.

Holofoil Pokémon cards — energy asked for by the cheapest printed attack, 6,473 cards counted

Each symbol is one Energy card of any type, which is how the cost is recorded: as a number of cards rather than a list of types. Cards that print no attack are left out of this count rather than entered as zero.

How the finishes compare on HP, damage and how hard they hit for their size

Price is one ladder, and the numbers printed on the cards are another. These are the 5 finishes side by side, each on its own averages, with Holofoil among them.

Damage per HP is that group's average biggest attack divided by its average HP: a larger number means the group hits harder for the size it prints. Both averages are counted only across the cards that carry the number at all, and Trainer and Energy cards carry neither. Only groups large enough to have their own page are listed.

Back to summary

The dearest and the cheapest Holofoil Pokémon card, side by side

Both of these are Holofoil cards, and one costs 45,000 times what the other does. That gap is why a single group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.
Back to summary

Which Holofoil Pokémon cards you have to evolve into

A Basic card is played straight from the hand. Every later stage has to arrive on top of the card before it, so an evolved Holofoil card costs you deck slots and turns that a Basic one does not.

The other finishes, and what each one is made of

The price ladder above ranks these same groups by what they cost. This one shows how big each of them is and what a card from it actually looks like, which is the part a ladder cannot carry.

Every group listed here is large enough to have a page of its own; smaller ones stay as rows on the page above.

Which Holofoil Pokémon cards hit hardest, type by type

Holofoil Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Holofoil Pokémon cards are there?

There are 7,484 Holofoil cards in this archive, and 7,484 of them carry a price. A print variant is the finish a card was sold in. The same artwork can be issued in more than one finish, and each finish keeps its own price record, so the two are priced apart.

How much is a Holofoil Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $7.36. Across the 7,484 priced cards the range runs from $0.10 to $4,500.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Holofoil Pokémon card?

Lugia 149 from Aquapolis, at $4,500.00. It is 611× the typical price of the group.

Are Holofoil Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 3 of 5 finishes, with 2 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 7,484 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 36.6%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Holofoil Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 7,484 of the 7,484 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 Holofoil 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 7,434 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

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

Over the last 11 months the typical Holofoil card rose from $4.94 to $7.36, a change of +49.0%. 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 Holofoil Pokémon card cost?

One in four Holofoil cards costs $1.98 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.10. Three in four cost $30.04 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Holofoil Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Are Holofoil Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

2,882 of the 7,484 Holofoil cards are legal in Standard today and 6,491 in Expanded — 38.5% and 86.7% 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 Holofoil Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Fighting — 1,270 of the 5,998 Holofoil cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fire next at 1,102 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Holofoil Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Before you rely on these figures

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