Pokémon V work very similarly Pokémon-EX, they possess considerably higher HP and stronger attacks compared to their regular counterparts. Pokémon V are a variant of Pokémon introduced in the Sword & Shield expansion.

Stage 2 Pokémon represent the final evolutionary forms of Pokémon.

Stage 1 Pokémon represent evolution stages of Basic Pokémon and the basic stage of many Fossil Pokémon.

Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon released in a later generation, such as Electabuzz or Pikachu, always are basic Pokémon, despite being the second Pokémon in their own evolutionary lines.

Basic Pokémon represent the most basic evolutionary stage.

Like Rare Holo cards, in many sets for each Secret Rare card there is another card at a lower rarity that is identical in terms of gameplay but has a different collector card number. They are usually foil with a unique appearance. SECRET RARE Secret Rare cards have a collector number higher than the advertised number of cards in the set. There are many types of Ultra Rare cards, including: Ultra Rare cards are foil and feature a specific game mechanic and/or appearance that distinguishes them from Rare Holo cards. In many English sets, for every rare holo card there is another card at a lower rarity that is identical in terms of gameplay, but has a different collector card number. Rare Holo cards have a black star and a foil illustration.

This only changes the physical appearance of the card and does not change its rarity or collector card number.

If you want 3 good chase rainbow rares that are worth while, here they are.The Pokémon Trading Card Game (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム) is a tabletop game that involves collecting, trading and playing with Pokémon themed playing cards. Even though we recommend sealed above all because of its return on investment, for many of us Pokemon lovers sealed will never capture the magic of staring at that chase card you saved for weeks on end to finally get. It's not as exciting as adding a psa 10 of a chase card to your collection. They're going places.Ĭollecting sealed is fun but let's be totally honest. This is a great pick, sealed and both cards. As Unbroken Bonds matures and increases in price as a sealed set, its two main chase cards will increase in value as well (Char/Resh and Blas). In the last 7 months it's gone from $22 to $98. This Blastoise is the second chase card in the set. Blastoise GX - Unbroken Bonds - We could've added Charizard and Reshiram here, they're both from the same set, but let's avoid the blatantly obvious charizard picks.Expect this Lugia to be worth far more in years to come, it's price gain ahead of its competitors in its set is growing proof that it's the one.

This is the first rainbow rare for Lugia, in the last 8 months this card has gone from $18 to $70, becoming the chase card of the set beating out rainbows like Suicune and Tyranitar. Lugia is a special card, a psa 10 1st edition from Neo Genesis is pushing $25k. Lugia GX Rainbow - Lost Thunder - We could've added Burning Shadows rainbow Charizard, but am trying not to make this list all Charizard.Expect PSA 10's in ten to fifteen years to be worth far more than their current 1k price tag. Out of the 23 Charizard printed in the last 16 months this one takes the cake for rarity, being iconic, the first of its kind (vmax), and from a special set. It's the first vmax for Charizard, it's rarity is 1/350 packs vs. Charizard Vmax Rainbow - CP - Wish we didn't have to make this card number one and we could look past Charizard, but this card is far too important to not mention.So here are 3 great rainbow rares to hold for years to come. And there are plenty more! When buying cards we have to be very selective, picking cards that will gain well is a lot harder than sealed. We've discussed 5 vintage cards, 5 modern cards. However, there are plenty of cards worth picking up. PokeInvesting shares a lot of posts regarding sealed because it's the best return on investment by far.
