Each row compares the middle price of the whole group on two days. It is not the change of any single card — a card can fall while the group rises, which is what the movers list below shows.
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
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.
How every Holofoil card with a price falls into price bands — 7,484 cards counted, not just the ones drawn above. Each track is the whole group, so the empty part of a bar is the share that sits outside that band.
The longest bar is where an ordinary Holofoil card actually sits. Bands read the market price of each card on August 14, 2026.
| Group | Share | Value |

| Under $1 | 16.0% | 1,194 cards |
| $1 to $5 | 26.1% | 1,955 cards |

| Dearest tenth, from | $100.00 | — |
| Average | $43.22 | — |
| Dearest | $4,500.00 | $4,500.00 |
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.

Bar length is that year against the busiest year for Holofoil cards, and the figure beside each year is its share of all 7,484 of them.
Years are left in printing order rather than sorted by size, because the shape of the run over time is what this chart is for.

Back to summaryHow much HP and damage Holofoil Pokémon cards print
| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 30 | 100 | 140 | 210 | 380 | 6,488 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 50 | 80 | 130 | 340 | 6,170 |
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 6,488 Holofoil cards that carry one. The typical card is 140 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 100 and 210 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 7.9% of the highest | 30 HP |
| Lower quarter | 26.3% of the highest | 100 HP |
| Typical | 36.8% of the highest | 140 HP |
| Upper quarter | 55.3% of the highest | 210 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 380 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 6,170 Holofoil cards that print one. The typical card hits for 80. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 50 and 130. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 2.9% of the highest | 10 damage |
| Lower quarter | 14.7% of the highest | 50 damage |
| Typical | 23.5% of the highest | 80 damage |
| Upper quarter | 38.2% of the highest | 130 damage |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 340 damage |
What are Holofoil Pokémon cards weak to?
What Holofoil Pokémon cards are weak to — 5,998 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.
An attack of this type does double damage to the card. Counted across the 5,998 Holofoil cards that print a weakness.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Fighting | 21.2% | 1,270 cards |
| Fire | 18.4% | 1,102 cards |

Which Holofoil Pokémon cards print a resistance?
What Holofoil Pokémon cards resist — 1,748 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 Holofoil cards print one, which is why this count is smaller than the card total.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Fighting | 46.5% | 813 cards |
| Psychic | 19.6% | 343 cards |
| Grass | 14.9% | 261 cards |

How do Holofoil Pokémon cards evolve?
The 6,163 Holofoil cards that print a stage, split by which stage it is
6,163 cards counted. Each track is the whole of that count, so a short bar means most of the group sits elsewhere.
Basic cards are played straight from the hand; the later stages have to evolve from the card before them.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 56.7% | 3,492 cards |
| Stage 1 | 23.8% | 1,464 cards |
| Stage 2 | 17.8% | 1,094 cards |

Can you still play Holofoil Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?
6,487 cards counted.
The number of energy cards you discard to move this Pokémon back to the bench. Zero means it retreats for free.

| Question | Cards | Share of the group |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 2,882 | 38.5% |
| Legal in Expanded today | 6,491 | 86.7% |
| Cards with an Ability | 2,406 | 32.1% |
| Cards with a special rule | 3,867 | 51.7% |
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 7,484 Holofoil cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The 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.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 38.5% | 2,882 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 86.7% | 6,491 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 32.1% | 2,406 cards |
| Cards with a special rule | 51.7% | 3,867 cards |
Which Holofoil Pokémon cards moved most this year
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.
The cheapest Holofoil Pokémon cards you can buy
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.
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
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.
How much energy do Holofoil Pokémon cards need to attack?
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.
Back to summaryHow the finishes compare on HP, damage and how hard they hit for their size
| Print variant | Cards | Average HP | Average biggest attack | Damage per HP | Most common stage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Edition Holofoil | 172 | 76 | 41 | Stage 1 | |
| 1st Edition | 755 | 56 | 25 | Basic | |
| Holofoil | 7,484 | 157 | 96 | Basic | |
| Normal | 11,021 | 80 | 43 | Basic | |
| Reverse Holofoil | 217 | 89 | 56 | Basic |
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.

The other finishes, and what each one is made of
Bar length is that group's size against the largest of them, which is 11,021 cards. The card shown on each panel is the dearest one in that group, not a typical one.
Every group listed here is large enough to have a page of its own; smaller ones stay as rows on the page above.

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.
