The very first English set, and still the one most people picture when they hear "Pokémon card." These ten are its sixteen original holo rares, ranked by current PSA 10 value.

1. 1
   Charizard #4/102The single most famous Pokémon card ever printed. Ironically, its in-game attacks were slow and expensive to power up - the hype was always about the Pokémon, not the stat line.
   ~$8,000 raw (1st ed.)$343,000+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Chansey #3/102Not a flashy Pokémon at all, which makes this one a great "surprise" story - a tough defensive wall back in 1999, and today one of the hardest Base Set holos to find in gem-mint condition.
   ~$400 raw (1st ed.)$102,000+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Mewtwo #10/102A genuinely strong attacker in its day, with a Barrier move that blocked incoming damage. The huge gap between its raw price and its PSA 10 price is one of the clearest examples of what grading does to value.
   ~$350 raw (1st ed.)$56,000+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Venusaur #15/102A solid, if unspectacular, attacker - its real claim to fame is just being one of the three original starter-Pokémon evolutions.
   ~$1,050 raw (1st ed.)$37,000+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Blastoise #2/102Its Rain Dance move, which could power up every Water Pokémon on the field at once, anchored some of the format's best decks - genuinely one of the strongest cards of its era.
   ~$1,365 raw (1st ed.)$33,700+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Gyarados #6/102Dragon Rage did a reliable, fixed 40 damage no matter what - simple, consistent, and a common sight in decks of the time.
   ~$470 raw (1st ed.)$25,700+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Ninetales #12/102A fine attacker, though it never stood out as a top competitive pick the way some others on this list did.
   ~$420 raw (1st ed.)$22,100+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Raichu #14/102Its Agility move had a coin-flip chance to stop all damage next turn - a gamble, but a dangerous one for an opponent to play around.
   ~$340 raw (1st ed.)$20,300+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Hitmonchan #7/102A cheap, reliable early attacker - nothing flashy, but it could start swinging before most Pokémon were even powered up.
   ~$300 raw (1st ed.)$18,500+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Poliwrath #13/102Whirlpool could strip energy cards from an opponent's Pokémon - a slow, grindy effect, but a frustrating one to play against.
    ~$365 raw (1st ed.)$17,700+ PSA 10

Worth remembering: Pikachu (Red Cheeks) isn't even on this list - it's not a holo rare at all, just a common card - and yet a PSA 10 copy still sells for $27,000+. Being the series' mascot can matter more than rarity.

The first expansion after Base Set, best known for introducing all three Eeveelutions (Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon) at once.

1. 1
   Snorlax #11/6490 HP was enormous for 1999 - genuinely one of the hardest Pokémon in the format to knock out, and a favorite defensive pick.
   ~$250 raw (1st ed.)$24,100+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Jolteon #4/64Collected heavily for being an Eeveelution, though its attacks were fairly ordinary for the time.
   ~$114 raw (1st ed.)$10,800+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Vaporeon #12/64Same story as Jolteon - beloved for being an Eeveelution more than for its stat line.
   ~$119 raw (1st ed.)$9,600+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Kangaskhan #5/64Its Fetch move let you grab a card back from the discard pile - genuinely useful utility rather than raw damage.
   ~$42 raw (1st ed.)$9,400+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Flareon #3/64The third Eeveelution of the set - again, more of a collector favorite than a format-defining attacker.
   ~$102 raw (1st ed.)$8,000+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Scyther #10/64Slash was a solid, cheap attack that let aggressive decks get moving early.
   ~$83 raw (1st ed.)$6,150+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Pinsir #9/64A dependable mid-tier attacker, never a headline card but a fine roleplayer in a Bug-type deck.
   ~$50 raw (1st ed.)$5,640+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Nidoqueen #7/64Decent HP and attacks for a mid-set holo - solidly playable without ever being a top pick.
   ~$52 raw (1st ed.)$5,580+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Mr. Mime #6/64A Light Screen-style effect that cut incoming damage made it a surprisingly stubborn card to fight through.
   ~$50 raw (1st ed.)$5,200+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Clefable #1/64Metronome let it copy an opponent's own attack back at them - a fun gimmick, though rarely a tournament staple.
    ~$54 raw (1st ed.)$4,220+ PSA 10

Themed around ancient and "ghost" Pokémon, and the set that introduced all three legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres) to the English game.

1. 1
   Dragonite #4/62A genuine late-game finisher - expensive to power up, but it hit hard once it got there.
   ~$90 raw (1st ed.)$12,800+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Lapras #10/62A sturdy Water-type support attacker, reliable rather than flashy.
   ~$11 raw (1st ed.)$4,250+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Gengar #5/62Curse dealt damage to itself as well as its target - a genuine build-around oddity, more fun than top-tier.
   ~$90 raw (1st ed.)$3,200+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Articuno #2/62Blizzard carried a real chance to paralyze the opponent's Pokémon - a dangerous card to leave unanswered.
   ~$24 raw (1st ed.)$2,700+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Ditto #3/62Its one move literally copied whatever Pokémon it was fighting - a completely unique gimmick, even if rarely a top competitive pick.
   ~$21 raw (1st ed.)$2,210+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Kabutops #9/62A fine mid-set attacker with no real standout move, but no real weakness either.
   ~$18 raw (1st ed.)$2,000+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Raichu #14/62A second printing of the same Pokémon as Base Set's, with a similar role - a dependable, if unspectacular, attacker.
   ~$25 raw (1st ed.)$1,750+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Haunter #6/62Leaned on Hypnosis-style disruption rather than raw damage - a slow, annoying card to play against.
   ~$30 raw (1st ed.)$1,420+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Moltres #12/62Fire Spin hit hard, but discarding your own Energy cards to pay for it made it a real gamble to use.
   ~$28 raw (1st ed.)$1,330+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Aerodactyl #1/62A clever rules trick for its time - its Pure Power-style ability let it attack the very turn it came into play, skipping the usual wait.
    ~$22 raw (1st ed.)$1,260+ PSA 10

The first set built around a villain team rather than a region. Its gimmick: "Dark" Pokémon could evolve straight from a matching Basic, skipping the usual middle stage, in exchange for a higher Retreat Cost.

1. 1
   Dark Charizard #4/83Chased the same fame as Base Set's Charizard, though the extra Retreat Cost kept it from matching that card's in-game dominance.
   ~$725 raw (1st ed.)$21,900+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Dark Dragonite #5/83Hit hard once it was out, and the set's evolve-early trick got it into play faster than Fossil's version ever could.
   ~$360 raw (1st ed.)$17,900+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Dark Blastoise #3/83Didn't carry the same Rain Dance punch as its Base Set version, but still a capable Water-type pick.
   ~$334 raw (1st ed.)$13,400+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Dark Magneton #11/83Cheap to pick up raw, but noticeably scarce in top grade - another good example of how price and rarity can pull apart.
   ~$81 raw (1st ed.)$9,900+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Dark Raichu #83/83A steady, dependable attacker without much flash.
   ~$253 raw (1st ed.)$7,600+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Dark Alakazam #1/83A fine Psychic-type pick for its day, part of a crowded field of strong Psychic cards in this era.
   ~$150 raw (1st ed.)$4,740+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Dark Gyarados #8/83Leaned on the same simple, reliable damage style as its Base Set cousin.
   ~$155 raw (1st ed.)$4,470+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Dark Slowbro #12/83A slower, more defense-minded pick than most of the set's other Dark Pokémon.
   ~$105 raw (1st ed.)$3,720+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Dark Machamp #10/83Solid and dependable, if never a headline-grabbing attacker.
   ~$115 raw (1st ed.)$3,380+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Dark Vileplume #13/83Leaned on status effects rather than straightforward damage, much like Jungle's version.
    ~$58 raw (1st ed.)$3,000+ PSA 10

The first set to hand Pokémon out to specific trainers - here, the first four Kanto Gym Leaders (Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika) plus a few Team Rocket and Sabrina cards - rather than just grouping by type.

1. 1
   Sabrina's Gengar #14/132A genuine standout of the set in its day, prized for its Ghost-type tricks, and now one of the hardest Gym Heroes holos to find in gem-mint condition.
   ~$1,548 raw (1st ed.)$29,100+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Blaine's Moltres #1/132A strong Fire-type finisher, among the set's best straightforward attackers.
   ~$294 raw (1st ed.)$12,270+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Rocket's Scyther #13/132Fast and cheap to use, a popular pick for aggressive decks.
   ~$193 raw (1st ed.)$9,050+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Lt. Surge's Fearow #7/132A dependable early-game attacker that could start swinging quickly.
   ~$125 raw (1st ed.)$4,230+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Erika's Dragonair #4/132A mid-evolution card, more notable for its place in the Dratini line than for standing out on its own.
   ~$239 raw (1st ed.)$3,300+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Brock's Rhydon #2/132Tanky and slow, built for grinding out a fight rather than ending one quickly.
   ~$105 raw (1st ed.)$3,025+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Misty's Seadra #9/132A steady Water-type support attacker.
   ~$107 raw (1st ed.)$2,750+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Erika's Clefable #3/132More of a collector favorite than a competitive pick.
   ~$85 raw (1st ed.)$2,600+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Erika's Vileplume #5/132A status-effect specialist, in the same spirit as Jungle's and Team Rocket's versions.
   ~$86 raw (1st ed.)$2,465+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Lt. Surge's Electabuzz #6/132A fast, if somewhat fragile, Electric-type attacker.
    ~$112 raw (1st ed.)$2,280+ PSA 10

Gym Heroes' companion set, finishing out the eight Kanto Gym Leaders with Blaine, Giovanni, Sabrina, and Lt. Surge and Misty getting a second card each.

1. 1
   Blaine's Charizard #2/132The set's headline card, chasing the same fame as Base Set's and Team Rocket's Charizards.
   ~$900 raw (1st ed.)$20,200+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Misty's Golduck #12/132A modest raw price next to a surprisingly high PSA 10 value - another good "grading changes everything" example.
   ~$80 raw (1st ed.)$15,000+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Erika's Venusaur #4/132A strong Grass-type attacker of its day.
   ~$333 raw (1st ed.)$12,500+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Rocket's Mewtwo #14/132Leaned into disruption and support rather than Base Set Mewtwo's straightforward power.
   ~$477 raw (1st ed.)$10,500+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Blaine's Arcanine #1/132A hard-hitting Fire-type, one of the set's better straightforward attackers.
   ~$287 raw (1st ed.)$10,000+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Giovanni's Persian #8/132A fast, if situational, attacker.
   ~$162 raw (1st ed.)$9,600+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Sabrina's Gengar #29/132A different printing from Gym Heroes' Gengar, continuing the same Ghost-type disruption theme.
   ~$350 raw (1st ed.)$7,750+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Misty's Gyarados #13/132Another reliable, fixed-damage attacker in the same style as the Base Set and Team Rocket versions.
   ~$418 raw (1st ed.)$6,730+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Sabrina's Alakazam #16/132A capable Psychic-type support-and-attack pick.
   ~$248 raw (1st ed.)$6,000+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Giovanni's Nidoking #7/132A solid mid-tier pick, dependable without being a standout.
    ~$136 raw (1st ed.)$3,220+ PSA 10

The first set to bring in generation-two Pokémon from the Gold & Silver games, with Lugia as its mascot. Neo-era 1st editions are a much smaller side market than Base Set's, so prices below are for standard (unlimited) prints.

1. 1
   Lugia #9/111The generation's legendary mascot, and a genuinely strong support attacker in its day thanks to its damage-boosting Elemental Blast move.
   ~$450 raw$32,100+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Heracross #6/111A hard hitter - though PSA 10 copies sell so rarely that this price is more of a rough estimate than a firm number.
   ~$21 raw$21,500+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Feraligatr (#5) #5/111One of two different Feraligatr prints in this set - a strong, straightforward Water-type attacker.
   ~$70 raw$8,070+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Feraligatr (#4) #4/111The set's other Feraligatr printing, with a different attack line than #5.
   ~$68 raw$2,810+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Azumarill #2/111A bulky, defense-minded pick rather than a fast attacker.
   ~$23 raw$2,550+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Meganium (#11) #11/111One of two Meganium prints here - a dependable Grass-type support attacker.
   ~$60 raw$2,550+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Ampharos #1/111An Electric-type attacker, reliable if not flashy.
   ~$24 raw$1,000+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Meganium (#10) #10/111The set's other Meganium printing.
   ~$50 raw$940+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Bellossom #3/111Leaned on status effects more than straightforward attacking.
   ~$21 raw$650+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Kingdra #8/111A late-game Water-type finisher.
    ~$11 raw$600+ PSA 10

Continued the generation-two rollout, best known for debuting Espeon and Umbreon, the first two Eeveelutions added since Jungle's original three.

1. 1
   Umbreon #13/75A fan-favorite Eeveelution from day one, and a genuinely solid defensive pick thanks to its damage-reducing ability.
   ~$486 raw$22,000+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Espeon #1/75Umbreon's Psychic-type counterpart, released in the same set and nearly as sought-after.
   ~$211 raw$7,640+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Kabutops #6/75A capable mid-set attacker.
   ~$64 raw$5,280+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Tyranitar #12/75Slow to power up but hit hard once it did - a genuine late-game threat.
   ~$100 raw$3,800+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Houndoom #4/75A solid Fire-type attacker, dependable without being dominant.
   ~$56 raw$2,070+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Yanma #17/75A fast, cheap early attacker.
   ~$19 raw$1,240+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Smeargle #11/75A novelty card whose single move copied whatever attack it was hit with - more of a fun gimmick than a top competitive pick.
   ~$30 raw$1,180+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Ursaring #15/75A straightforward, hard-hitting attacker once fully powered up.
   ~$23 raw$1,110+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Politoed #8/75A decent Water-type support pick, never a headline card.
   ~$49 raw$990+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Scizor #10/75A fast, Metal-type-leaning attacker ahead of its time.
    ~$48 raw$760+ PSA 10

A smaller set, best known for introducing "Shining" Pokémon - a reverse-color art treatment and an early precursor to the video games' "Shiny" Pokémon idea - plus the three Legendary Beasts and Ho-oh.

1. 1
   Shining Gyarados #65/66One of the first-ever "Shining" cards, and still one of the most recognizable thanks to its striking silver-blue color swap.
   ~$639 raw$18,770+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Entei #6/66One of the three Legendary Beasts making their English-TCG debut here - a strong, straightforward Fire-type attacker.
   ~$152 raw$18,110+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Houndoom #8/66A second, different Houndoom print from the one in Neo Discovery.
   ~$250 raw$14,690+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Shining Magikarp #66/66A fun case: Magikarp is famously weak in the games, but as one of only a handful of "Shining" cards ever printed, it's genuinely valuable regardless.
   ~$380 raw$6,170+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Suicune #14/66The second of the three Legendary Beasts, a solid Water-type attacker.
   ~$133 raw$3,740+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Celebi #3/66A Grass/Psychic-leaning support pick, more collected for being a Legendary than for raw power.
   ~$100 raw$3,150+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Raikou #13/66The third Legendary Beast, a fast Electric-type attacker.
   ~$134 raw$3,100+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Ho-oh #7/66The generation's other legendary bird, a strong late-game Fire-type finisher.
   ~$158 raw$2,570+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Misdreavus #11/66A Ghost-type disruption pick, similar in spirit to Fossil's Gengar.
   ~$51 raw$1,660+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Ampharos #1/66A second Ampharos print, different from Neo Genesis's version.
    ~$50 raw$1,370+ PSA 10

The Neo era's finale, famous for its full run of "Shining" Pokémon plus a new "Light" Pokémon mechanic (a counterpart to Team Rocket's "Dark" Pokémon) tied to Gym Leaders' collections.

1. 1
   Shining Charizard #107/113The chase card of the entire Neo era - the "Shining" treatment on the franchise's most popular Pokémon, which is exactly as sought-after as it sounds.
   ~$1,553 raw$21,150+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Shining Mewtwo #109/113The set's second-most-chased Shining card, carrying the same reverse-color treatment.
   ~$818 raw$15,000+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Dark Espeon #4/113Continued Team Rocket's "Dark" Pokémon mechanic - a strong Psychic-type attacker.
   ~$222 raw$12,090+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Shining Tyranitar #113/113A hard-hitting Shining card, prized as much for its rarity as for its attacks.
   ~$468 raw$11,290+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Dark Gengar #6/113A second "Dark" Gengar, leaning on disruption much like Fossil's and Gym Challenge's versions.
   ~$355 raw$10,000+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Shining Raichu #111/113A fast Electric-type Shining card.
   ~$450 raw$6,140+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Shining Celebi #106/113A rarer Shining version of the Legendary introduced the set before.
   ~$344 raw$5,250+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Light Dragonite #14/113Part of the new "Light" Pokémon mechanic - typically got a built-in bonus like extra resistance.
   ~$262 raw$5,000+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Shining Kabutops #108/113A less-chased Shining card, still valuable simply for being part of the set.
   ~$385 raw$3,850+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Light Arcanine #12/113A fast "Light" Pokémon attacker, rounding out the mechanic's roster.
    ~$250 raw$2,600+ PSA 10

Not a set of new Pokémon - this one reprints fan favorites from the earlier WotC-era sets, with "Reverse Holo" versions (foil on the background instead of the artwork) as the real chase pulls, found roughly once per box rather than once per pack. A heads-up: reliable PSA 10 pricing for these reverse holos is unusually hard to pin down across price-tracking sites - we could only confirm solid PSA 10 numbers for two of these, so treat the rest as raw-price comparisons only.

1. 1
   Charizard #3/110The set's headline reprint, chasing the same fame as every other Charizard on this page.
   ~$2,262 raw$81,250 PSA 10 (pop. 87)
2. 2
   Gengar #11/110A striking reverse-holo background made this one of the set's most visually popular reprints.
   ~$1,693 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
3. 3
   Pikachu #86/110The mascot effect strikes again - a common-tier card chased hard purely for who's on it.
   ~$1,189 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
4. 4
   Mewtwo #29/110One of the two reverse holos here we could price with real confidence.
   ~$750 raw$15,000 PSA 10 (pop. 54)
5. 5
   Snorlax #64/110Carries the same defensive-wall reputation as its Jungle original.
   ~$676 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
6. 6
   Dark Dragonite #5/110A reprint of Team Rocket's Dark Dragonite, carrying over the same evolve-early trick.
   ~$659 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
7. 7
   Psyduck #88/110Not a flashy Pokémon at all - another case where reverse-holo rarity alone drives the price.
   ~$638 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
8. 8
   Dark Blastoise #4/110A reprint of Team Rocket's Dark Blastoise.
   ~$506 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
9. 9
   Dark Vaporeon #9/110An Eeveelution reprint carrying the Team Rocket "Dark" theme.
   ~$316 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably
10. 10
    Gyarados #12/110The Base Set favorite, reprinted here with the reverse-holo treatment.
    ~$301 rawPSA 10: too thin to price reliably

The first "e-Card" set - each card carried a scannable dot-code strip for a since-discontinued Nintendo accessory - and the first set to introduce Pokémon Tool cards, a new permanent equipment-style Trainer card.

1. 1
   Mew #19/165One of the hobby's most famous "secret rare" chases - PSA 10 copies sell so rarely that this is more of a ballpark than a firm number.
   ~$438 raw$150,000+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Charizard #6/165Yet another Charizard chase card, this time wearing the e-Card era's redesigned frame.
   ~$427 raw$85,480+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Dragonite #9/165A genuine late-game finisher once fully powered up.
   ~$412 raw$55,240+ PSA 10
4. 4
   Skarmory #27/165A fairly plain-looking card whose PSA 10 copies are so scarce that this price should be treated as a rough estimate.
   ~$77 raw$53,030+ PSA 10
5. 5
   Pichu #22/165A baby Pokémon that rode its own cuteness to real collector demand.
   ~$200 raw$42,350+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Ampharos #2/165A third Ampharos print, different again from the Neo-era versions.
   ~$152 raw$34,940+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Gengar #13/165Another Ghost-type disruption pick, continuing a theme that runs through nearly every set so far.
   ~$441 raw$33,890+ PSA 10
8. 8
   Mewtwo #20/165A dependable Psychic-type attacker, without quite the same punch as Base Set's original.
   ~$278 raw$30,150+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Tyranitar #29/165Slow but powerful, in keeping with the Pokémon's reputation.
   ~$257 raw$15,000+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Blastoise #4/165A solid Water-type pick, if never quite matching Base Set's Rain Dance fame.
    ~$392 raw$14,070+ PSA 10

The second e-Card set, and home to a genuine secret-rare "Crystal" Pokémon - Lugia here - that could switch type for a turn depending on which Energy card was attached to it, years before anything like that showed up in the actual video games.

1. 1
   Lugia #149/147A certified secret-rare "Crystal" Pokémon, and the set's undisputed headline card.
   ~$2,700 raw$79,580+ PSA 10

    ~$259 raw$8,660+ PSA 10

The last set before Nintendo brought the TCG fully in-house, and home to six secret-rare "Crystal" Pokémon - including the single most expensive card of the entire e-Card era.

1. 1
   Charizard #146/144The single most expensive card of the whole e-Card era, and one of the six ultra-rare secret "Crystal" Pokémon in this set.
   ~$5,800 raw$122,000+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Gengar #H9/H32Not one of the six Crystal secret rares, but still the set's second-priciest card by a wide margin.
   ~$3,144 raw$89,980+ PSA 10
3. 3
   Umbreon #H30/H32Its third appearance on this list, and still one of the most consistently in-demand cards across the whole Neo-to-e-Card stretch.

    ~$437 raw$9,400+ PSA 10

The first set of the "EX" era and the first made fully in-house by Nintendo. Its big rules change: oversized "ex" Pokémon cards with higher HP and stronger attacks, which cost an opponent 2 Prize cards instead of the usual 1 when knocked out - a trade-off every "ex" card on this list and the ones after it carries.

1. 1
   Mewtwo ex #101/109The set's clear headline card, and the template every later "ex" chase card followed.
   ~$203 raw$24,050+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Treecko #76/109A cute, low-key Grass starter whose reverse-holo rarity alone drives the price - PSA 10 copies are scarce enough that this is a rough estimate.

   ~$108 raw$3,100+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Mudkip #59/109Another reverse-holo baby-stage starter, collected for cuteness as much as anything.

10. 10
    Magmar ex #100/109A dependable early-game Fire-type "ex" pick.
    ~$38 raw$2,880+ PSA 10

The second EX-era set, desert-and-drought themed to match its name.

1. 1

   ~$183 raw$5,660+ PSA 10
6. 6
   Eevee #63/100The base form itself, popular purely for being Eevee.
   ~$49 raw$5,020+ PSA 10
7. 7
   Pikachu #72/100The mascot effect, once again.
   ~$95 raw$4,500+ PSA 10

   ~$115 raw$4,350+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Psyduck #73/100A reverse-holo collector favorite, not a flashy Pokémon by in-game standards.

Headlined by Groudon and Kyogre, the two version-exclusive Legendaries from the Ruby & Sapphire games, and the first set to print "team-flavored" alternate versions of some Pokémon - like Team Magma's own take on Groudon below.

1. 1
   Suicune ex #94/95A strong Water-type "ex" attacker, and one of the three Legendary Beasts making yet another appearance.
   ~$272 raw$9,890+ PSA 10

Headlined by Deoxys, a Mythical Pokémon with four different "Forme" cards in this set, and home to arguably three of the single most valuable "Gold Star" cards ever printed.

1. 1
   Latias (Gold Star) #105/107Among the single most valuable Pokémon cards made after the original WotC era, full stop.
   ~$1,475 raw$369,480+ PSA 10

   ~$2,144 raw$32,800+ PSA 10

A small special set of Dragon-type Pokémon, sold only in special blister packs. With just 20 cards and small print runs, Rayquaza is the standout at about $13,000 when perfect, though perfect copies sell only a couple of times a year.

    ~$42 raw$3,016+ PSA 10

The set that introduced Mega Evolution to the card game and opened the whole XY era. Its priciest cards turn out not to be the Megas at all, but the full-art Pokémon-EX versions, which are much harder to find in perfect condition.

1. 1
   Blastoise EX (Full Art) #142/146The standout of the set: a full-art Blastoise that costs under $100 in everyday condition, but a flawless copy is a different story - take this one as a rough estimate, since perfect copies sell only about once a year.
   ~$82 raw$16,225+ PSA 10
2. 2

5. 5
   Yveltal EX (Full Art) #144/146The Darkness-type legendary of the generation, and the Pokémon-EX that showed up in strong tournament decks throughout 2014 - perfect copies trade rarely, so treat this as a rough estimate.
   ~$51 raw$564+ PSA 10

   Mega Venusaur EX #2/146One of the very first Mega Evolution cards ever printed - a piece of card game history, and still cheap in ordinary condition.

A tiny special set built around Team Aqua and Team Magma, sold only in special blister packs. Team Magma's Groudon-EX is the standout at about $36,000 when perfect, though perfect copies sell only a couple of times a year, so treat that one as a rough guide.

Rayquaza's set. Five of the top ten are Rayquaza or Mega Rayquaza, and Mega Rayquaza EX decks were among the most feared in tournaments in 2015. Shaymin EX, the other big name here, was a staple of almost every deck of its era.

A Gyarados set at heart: four of the top ten are Gyarados EX or Mega Gyarados EX, and the set's only secret rare, another Gyarados EX, leads the list. Greninja BREAK, one of the strongest tournament cards of 2016, shows up too, at a much gentler price.

A small special set that revived the "Shining" Pokémon card style, first seen way back in the Neo era. Mewtwo GX's rainbow secret rare leads by a mile, with Shining Mew and Shining Rayquaza next.

1. 1
   Mewtwo GX (Secret Rare) #78/78The set's rainbow secret rare, and by far its most valuable card.
   ~$608 raw$8,158+ PSA 10

   ~$160 raw$1,431+ PSA 10

   ~$12 raw$290+ PSA 10
10. 10
    Raichu GX (Secret Rare) #75/78Pikachu's evolved form in a secret-rare print.
    ~$39 raw$264+ PSA 10

The set built around the Ultra Beasts, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Kartana, and Guzzlord. Oddly, the top card here is not an Ultra Beast or a secret rare at all, but a regular Gengar holo that outprices everything else by a wide margin.

1. 1
   Gengar #38/124A well-loved Ghost-type, and a rare case of a regular holo outpricing the secret rares - take this one as a rough estimate, since perfect copies sell only a couple of times a year.
   ~$18 raw$1,911+ PSA 10
2. 2
   Gyarados GX #18/124The regular GX version of the Atrocious Pokémon.

   ~$17 raw$195+ PSA 10

   ~$2 raw$176+ PSA 10
9. 9
   Alolan Exeggutor GX (Full Art) #107/124The full-art version of Alolan Exeggutor GX.
   ~$6 raw$119+ PSA 10

    Silvally GX (Secret Rare) #119/124A shape-shifting Mythical Pokémon, rounding out the top ten.
    ~$13 raw$95+ PSA 10

The set that introduced Prism Star cards, a special rare type marked with a diamond. A Trainer card (Lillie) takes the top spot over two Prism Star cards, which is unusual and shows how much collectors love full-art Supporters.

1. 1
   Lillie (Full Art) #151/173The top card of the set - a full-art Supporter featuring a key character from the Alola story.
   ~$400 raw$1,853+ PSA 10
2. 2

    Palkia GX (Full Art) #147/173The full-art version of Palkia GX.
    ~$22 raw$306+ PSA 10

A quieter set with no single runaway card. The secret rare GX cards of the Sinnoh and Kalos legends fill most of the list, led by Dialga and Lucario.

Rayquaza GX takes four spots in the top ten, led by a secret rare that is by far the set's most valuable card. Prism Star cards of Latios, Latias, and Jirachi fill out the middle of the list.

1. 1
   Rayquaza GX (Secret Rare) #177/183The set's top card by a huge margin, and a sky-high favorite among Rayquaza fans.
   ~$179 raw$2,598+ PSA 10

   ~$110 raw$1,250+ PSA 10
3. 3

A small, Dragon-themed special set with a classic Charizard, Dragonite, and Reshiram. Prices are modest here compared to the bigger main sets around it.

The biggest set of the era, and the home of the Mimikyu GX and Lugia GX rainbow secret rares, which are the two most valuable cards in it. A pair of Suicune GX and a full-art Professor Elm's Lecture round out a strong list.

1. 1

The set that introduced TAG TEAM cards, two Pokémon on one card, and also the first "alternate art" prints, special full arts with painted scenes. Latias & Latios GX's alternate art is the most valuable card of the entire Sun & Moon era so far.

1. 1
   Latias & Latios GX (Alternate Art) #170/196The top card of the set and of the whole era, worth about five times its everyday price when flawless.

A tiny movie tie-in set of just 18 cards, and every single one is a holo. Prices are modest in absolute terms, but because the set is so small, the top cards are worth far more than their everyday price when graded perfectly.

1. 1
   Detective Pikachu #10/18The star of the movie, shown in his detective hat.
   ~$9 raw$573+ PSA 10
2. 2
