Top Selling Pokémon Cards on TCGplayer: June 2025
By Peter Day •
The first step to serving customer demand is to understand it. So to help you follow what’s currently popular with players and collectors, we’ve put together a pair of downloadable CSV reports of the top-selling Pokémon cards of the past month.
These reports show the name and set of the Pokémon cards with the highest total number of copies sold on the TCGplayer Marketplace between June 1 and June 29, 2025. The reports consider cards from different sets to be distinct (even if they have the same name), but do not distinguish copies sold by condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.) or by printing (Foil, etc.).
The two reports cover cards that had an average sale price in June within two ranges: $50.00 or more, and $1.00 to $49.99.

Here are five highlights from each report.
Top Selling Pokémon Cards: $50 or More
#1 Misty’s Psyduck - 193/182
Set: Destined Rivals
Average Sale Price: $53.50
Cards with Misty on them are popular, as Starmie V demonstrated when it became the second-most expensive card in Astral Radiance, ahead of the set’s ostensible headliners Palkia V and Dialga V. Misty’s Psyduck was always destined to be the most expensive Illustration Rare in Destined Rivals.
#2 Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX
Set: SM Promos
Average Sale Price: $87.19
This promo card from the Hidden Fates Elite Trainer Box has crept up in price all year, following the same trend as other Sun & Moon cards. It was helped along by a series of buyouts that culminated in a huge spike in sales on June 17, which lifted the average number of copies per buyer to 7.7 and secured the promo a highlighted spot in this report.
#3 Charizard ex - 223/197
Set: Obsidian Flames
Average Sale Price: $55.58
The original Special Illustration Rare printing of Charizard ex from Obsidian Flames is back for yet another month.
Charizard has all the appeal you’d expect for collectors, but due to reprints and Obsidian Flames’s generous pull rates, SIR Charizard stayed below the $50 cutoff until November. With Obsidian Flames almost two years old, the supply for this card continues to dry up, and its price hasn’t dipped below that threshold all year.
#4 Blastoise ex - 200/165
Set: Scarlet & Violet—151
Average Sale Price: $61.34
SIR Blastoise ex exploded in price after the release of Pokémon TCG Pocket. While that wave of interest has crested, this is still one of the three cards fans most want to grab from 151—ideally before the next “complete Pokédex” sets Black Bolt and White Flare release in July.
#5 Venusaur ex - 198/165
Set: Scarlet & Violet—151
Average Sale Price: $55.43
Venusaur comes in at #5 as another Special Illustration Rare card of a fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon that players want to secure before they move on to the Unova Pokédex.
Top Selling Pokémon Cards: $1.00 to $49.99
#1 Arven - 166/198
Set: Scarlet & Violet Base Set
Average Sale Price: $2.21
Arven is a two-for-one search card that shows up all over the Pokémon TCG’s Standard format. Along with this version, Arven has been printed as an Uncommon in Obsidian Flames, but the Scarlet & Base Set version has more listings on TCGplayer and is consequently cheaper.
#2 Night Stretcher
Set: Shrouded Fable
Average Sale Price: $4.06
Night Stretcher adds a little helpful recursion to any deck, so it’s been a staple since Shrouded Fable. Shrouded Fable wasn’t terribly exciting for collectors, so it didn’t get opened in huge quantities and players are mostly acquiring Night Stretchers as singles. It also hasn’t been reprinted in a normal Pokémon set at its base rarity, so players who want the most affordable copies have no other options.
#3 Team Rocket's Energy
Set: Destined Rivals
Average Sale Price: $1.51
Team Rocket’s Pokémon have received more support than any of the other Trainer’s Pokémon archetype across the last two Pokémon sets. Between that fact and Team Rocket’s popularity, a ton of players were excited to build Team Rocket decks when Destined Rivals released, and they all needed multiple copies of Team Rocket’s Energy to approximate the Energy acceleration all Pokémon decks require to compete.
#4 Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex
Set: Destined Rivals
Average Sale Price: $4.60
We rarely see Pokémon rank this high on the $1-50 report, but Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex is special. Players anticipated this would be the cornerstone of the most powerful new deck to emerge from Destined Rivals, and they were proven correct when a Grimmsnarl deck made Top 8 at NAIC 2025 in mid-June.
There are no parallel versions of Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex at higher rarities in Destined Rivals. That’s unusual for Pokémon cards these days, and it means that players aren’t splitting the demand for Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex across multiple versions, which has helped the card rank higher than it might otherwise.
#5 Counter Catcher
Set: Paradox Rift
Average Sale Price: $1.99
Counter Catcher only has one base-rarity printing with the modern silver border. It’s a competitive staple in decks like Gardevoir (one of the best decks in the Destined Rivals format) that expect to fall behind in the first half of the game.
