Skitty is so cute! Skitty tends to chase her own tail, so I wouldn’t trust her too much.

Oddish Pokemon

Oddish is cute and odd little pokemon from the new series Legends Awakened.

Hmm, Probopass, always the strange looking one.

New Stadium card.

Pokemons from Legend Awaken!

Some really cute and nice Pokemons in this series. I like the Dratini with its rainbow too.

Charizard is a fire/flying type pokemon. At one point he was one of the most powerful pokemon ever; and he still is.

If Charizard becomes furious, the flame at the tip of its tail flares up in a whitish-blue color. Breathing intense, hot flames, it can melt almost anything. Its breath inflicts terrible pain on enemies. Its fiery breath reaches incredible temperatures. It can quickly melt glaciers weighing 10,000 tons.

Charizard EX 105 can cost more than $100 for each card!

My dad and I were returning from the temple today and chatting about different things and the question came up as to what is the most expensive Pokemon card?

I am pretty sure that the most expensive Pokemon card is Pikachu Illustrator.

Apparently, only 6 of these were produced. CoroCoro magazine ran a competition for children to design a Pokemon Card. The six winners received one of these superb Holofoil trophy cards.

Cost — Tum-dudum-dum-dum

$20,000.00

The card text says:

We certify that your illustration is an excellent entry in the Pokémon Card Game Illustration Contest. Therefore, we state that you are an Officially Authorized Pokémon Card Illustrator and admire your skill.

The next most expensive card:

The rarest Pokemon card, but it is not the most expensive Pokemon card (I don’t know why) is Pikachu Tournament No 1 Gold Trophy.

The cost of this card, according to Greylight is:

$12,000.00

There are two other trophy cards (only 3 of each were produced) also sell for $10,000+

By the way, you can’t take these numbers too seriously (like everything else on the internet). Bulbopedia says that there were about 30 Pikachu Illustrator cards issued and I saw somewhere else that in 2002, the trophy cards had a book price of $1,500.

I have also heard about the Raichu PreRelease card that is supposed to be the rarest of them all.

The reason this card is rare is because it is an “error” card. The pre-release stamp on this card was placed by mistake.

There are either 8 or 11 of these cards and it hasn’t come up for sale as yet, but if it did, it might be the most expensive pokemon card.

Price: probably between $10,000 and $30,000.

The story behind this card can be found at PokeGym.

Pl. leave a comment if you know of any other expensive Pokemon Card and what is the most expensive Pokemon card you have purchased? The most expensive card I have purchased is Double Rainbow Energy for $6 each (I needed them for my Wailord Deck). I almost bought a Lv.X card for $15 but it didn’t fit in my deck.

This is one of the new Lv. X Pokemon card from Majestic Dawn. This Pokemon is not only cute, it is also very powerful. It has POke-body Chilly breath and you can see it demonstrated in this wonderful artwork.

Here you go. Mew Two Pokemon from Majestic Dawn set!

I like the bottom one the best - go Mew two go!

Pokemon for president! Actually, if I had to choose one pokemon for President, I am not sure which one will I choose? Do you have any ideas?

Love this Dusknoir Level X (LV X) that will come out soon!

These pokemon cards are from Pokemon -Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky - of course, when it comes to US, the name will be changed.

Level Up and HP 140.

Poke-Power: Ectoplasm
This Power can be used once, when this Pokemon is your Active Pokemon and its HP is reduced to 0 by an opponent’s attack. Although this Pokemon is Knocked Out, this 1 card is not discarded, but is put into play as a Stadium card (any other Stadium in play is discarded).

If this card is in play as a Stadium card, it has the following effect: “In between turns place 1 damage counter on each of your opponent’s Pokemon,” and when it would be discarded this pokemon card is returned to your hand instead.

Raichu LV.X – Lightning – HP110
Level Up

Poke-Body: Chain Lightning
On the turn that this Pokemon Levels Up, if it uses Voltage Shoot, afterwards it can attack 1 additional time (and only once). This Poke-Body stops working if this Pokemon is affected by a Special Condition.

I also heard that there is going to be new move in Pokemon card game. For trainer cards, you could always use two of the same kind and in the same turn and the effect would be double. But in some of the newer cards, if you use one trainer card there is some specific effect, but if you use two of the same kind, the effect could be 8 times as much!

There is a Pokemon card called PokeHealer; if you have one of them, it removes one damage counter, but if you have two copies of the same card, it will remove 8 damage counters.

Here is the Pokehealer Pokemon trainer card.

I am playing a lot of Pokemon DS and Wii game, so I don’t get a chance to play the card games but it is an interesting game and I want to keep track of the rules and enjoy the artwork.

Thank you Pokebeach for card scans.

The new set has the much awaited Empoleon card.

Not sure if I like this graphic as much as the Lefeon or Phione pokemon

Dual Splash attack looks interesting; it does 30 damage to two of the opponent’s pokemon.

I think the holo of this card would be cool. The problem is that the Cresselia Lv x holo card is VERy expensive - $30-$50 per card!

I lost a tooth other day; I put it under my pillow and in the morning I found a 50 cent coin. I didn’t know that there was a 50 cents coin! Any way, to buy one Cresselia Lv. X card, I will have to lose 60 teeth - I don’t even have that many teeth to lose anymore!

There is an author Garrison Keillor, who talks about a fictional town called Lake Wobegon. And in Lake Wobegon, he says, “all the men are good looking, all the women are strong and all the children are above average”.

I was above average in the lake Wobegonean way. I went to play the Regional Pokemon Tournament in Pasadena last week. Regional tournaments are held between the state tournament and the national tournament; so all the champions from the state show up there. The one that I went to was in Pasadena and had the champions from southern California, Nevada and Arizona.

I went there with my wailord and Mismagius deck; the deck I affectionately called Raging Tsunami. It is a very nice deck; I practiced with it for a week or two and I was able to defeat or hold off the most powerful deck in the Pokemon - GG deck, which includes gardevoir and Gallade. Lots of my cards were shiny holo and I also had 4 DRE cards, which are very expensive.

I won’t go into the strategy of choosing these cards, except to say that Wailord is a good defensive pokemon and Mismagius is a good offensive one, so it was balanced.

Here I am shuffling the cards - see how fast I am shuffling, you can’t even see the cards.

Here I am playing with James, the state’s best player in the junior division.

Of course, I lost the game with him; he had a Pokemon card Absol, which kept disrupting my strategy.

Here I am with the prize that I got for winning the sixth game of the tournament.

That’s my friend Kai next to me. And yes, I did get that hat at the tournament.

So my standing at the game was 3-3 (won three games, lost three games), but overall, out of 43 kids, I was 21st - that’s above average, or in top 50% - ok, just a tad above average - not bad at the regional level.

My dad took me there and we had a lot of fun!

I have seen a couple of pokemon from Majestic Dawn set and the art work is really nice. This one is so cute!

This is Lefeaon - Hi Lefeaon! Lets play together!
