In this article, we will look at the most expensive cards in the Pokemon TCG that can currently be found in the packs available for purchase.

While there are Pokemon cards that are expensive due to their rarity, a lot of current packs have cards going at very high prices. This is because these cards either feature stellar artwork or are rare overall. So, in this article, let’s take a look at the most expensive Pokemon TCG cards that you can get right now by opening packs and how much they are going for.
Most Expensive Cards From Current Pokemon TCG Packs
These cards are currently the most likely to be sold for high prices:
- Victini Black White Rare
- Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex Special Illustration Rare
- Mega Gardevoir ex Mega Hyper Rare
- Mega Lucario ex Mega Hyper Rare
- Umbreon ex Special Illustration Rare
5) Victini Black White Rare

Average Market Price: ~$487
The split expansion of Black Bolt and White Flare had their own special high rarity called the “Black White Rare.” This made sense for Zekrom and Reshiram, who got lovely Black and White versions of their cards. However, the most expensive card of this rarity was actually Victini, whose BWR version was…red. However, this card was available in both sets, which in some ways made it even rarer.
4) Team Rocket’s Mewtwo Ex Special Illustration Rare

Average Market Price: ~$549
This Special Illustration Rare of Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex remains popular even after two more expansions have come after it. A lot of the popularity comes from the stellar artwork featuring the boss of Team Rocket, Giovanni, and Mewtwo, a relationship that began all the way back in the first Pokemon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back. So it definitely appeals to the nostalgic Pokemon fans. And the Pokemon TCG has a long history of cards featuring Team Rocket, so there’s some nostalgia there as well.
3) Mega Gardevoir Ex Mega Hyper Rare

Average Market Price: ~$602
The first of two Mega Hyper Rares on this list, Mega Gardevoir ex, is one of the two faces of the first Mega Evolution expansion. These are gold colored cards starring the Mega Evolution in question and have the lowest pull rate out of all the cards in the set. Being part of the most recent expansion also adds to its value.
2) Mega Lucario Ex Mega Hyper Rare

Average Market Price: ~$720
The other face of the Mega Evolution set, Mega Lucario ex, also gets a Mega Hyper Rare. However, either due to the general higher popularity of Mega Lucario or the fact that the deck surrounding it is generally pretty good, it is much more expensive than Mega Gardevoir ex.
1) Umbreon Ex Special Illustration Rare

Average Market Price: ~$1,146
The Special Illustration Rare of Umbreon ex from Prismatic Evolutions is currently the most expensive card on the market that you can get from opening packs. This is impressive for several reasons. Not only is this from an expansion that has had four more sets coming after it, but its average price is over $1,000. As such, this card remains a hallmark for collectors not only in the present but in the future as well.
