If you’re not familiar with some of the rarestPokemon TCGcards, then you’ve likely never heard of the LV. X (pronounced Level X) subset of cards that appeared inseveral sets across the Diamond & Pearland Platinum eras. Some unusual sets likeSupreme Victors featured several valuable cards,alongside the already impressive LV. X Pokemon.
Unfortunately, if you’re looking to collect these cards, you’ll struggle to find them due to their rarity, but the reward is well worth the effort. These LV. X cards feature beloved Pokemon like Charizard, Snorlax, and Glaceon, so you’re able to expect their values to increase as they disappear from the marketplace.
Cards are ordered according to theirTCGplayermarket prices, which are subject to change. Cards without a market price were not included.
8Infernape E4 LV. X: Rising Rivals (Ultra Rare) – $110.62
Straight Heat
Even if you’re not a fan of Infernape, one look at this card will tell you that this card’s design is fire and worthy of appreciation. That appreciation manifests itself in the market to the tune of a roughly $110 price tag that elevates this ape into the upper echelon as one of the most expensive LV. X cards.
Infernape is a breakout star in Rising Rivals, though it’s not the most expensive LV. X card you can find from that set, as two more top-tier cards make an appearance on this list to dethrone Infernape.
7Rayquaza C LV. X Supreme Victors (Ultra Rare) – $112.91
Always On The Move
What really needs to be said about Rayquaza? Aside from Pikachu and Charizard, this Pokemon stands tall as one of the most popular in the series thanks to its incredible power, beautiful design, and unbelievably cool shiny and Mega forms that improve on the original design.
Considering how beloved this Pokemon is andhow expensive its most valuable cards are,this card is at a surprisingly tame value. you’re able to expect this to remain among Rayquaza’s most disappointing values, even though most other Pokemon would love to have a beautiful card like this.
6Flygon LV. X: Rising Rivals (Ultra Rare) – $114.74
An Unexpected Flight
What really drives home Rayquaza’s surprisingly low price is Flygon LV. X’s price, clocking in just ahead of its fellow green Dragon-type. While it seems almost illogical how Flygon, a nearly identical Pokemon to a legend like Rayquaza, surpasses it, that’s the way things shake out sometimes, with multiple other factors at play.
If you’re a Flygon fan, then this is your grail card, as you won’t find many other cards that feature this Pokemon and boast a beautiful design to justify an impressively high price tag.
5Gengar LV. X: Arceus (Ultra Rare) – $153.06
From Out Of The Shadows
Gengar makes things right with the world again, as this Pokemon leaps several levels ahead of Flygon, with a market price that eclipses the prior Pokemon by nearly 50 percent.
Gengar’s popularity, especially in the West, is well documented, and this card is the perfect indication of that.
Even with so many valuable cards to choose from, Gengar never seems to disappoint with any of its impressively priced cards. This may not be the coolest Gengar to grace the Pokemon TCG, but its rarity and pose make it a top choice among the best LV. X cards.
4Charizard G LV. X: Supreme Victors (Ultra Rare) – $164.11
A Surprisingly Low Finish
While this card is a far cry fromCharizard’s most expensive cards,there’s still plenty to enjoy about its beautiful, fiery design and the unusual pairing with Cyrus, Team Galactic’s leader. This might be the only card that will ever feature this Pokemon and trainer combination, making it a niche but incredible collector’s item.
While Charizard usually topples the competition and claims the top spot on most lists it’s eligible for, this time it falls to an unexpectedly low placement, even if fourth place is a strong showing regardless.
3Leafeon LV. X: Majestic Dawn (Ultra Rare) – $165.60
Leaping To New Heights
Asone of Leafeon’s most valuable cards,this LV. X has a lot to live up to, but the gorgeous concerto of green, red, and silvery shading on this card ensures it earns the hype. While it’s far from the most popular Eeveelution, Leafeon’s roster of cards continues to grow in total value and will push this Pokemon to new heights.
It might be a bit unrealistic to expect Leafeon to compete with Espeon or Umbreon, but it has a legitimate chance to be the third most popular Eeveelution ever, though it faces tough competition from Sylveon for that distinction.
2Snorlax LV. X: Rising Rivals (Ultra Rare) – $190.99
Hype That Could Wake A Snorlax
Snorlax is one of the GOATs, whether it comes to popularity, card value, or overall appeal, as this Pokemon represents one of the best things to come out of the first generation. If you love this Pokemon, you won’t find many other cards that capture it in such an active moment, as Snorlax isn’t in its typical sleeping position.
At almost $200, this expensive LV. X card claims one of the top spots, but can’t quite reach the heights of another Eeveelution, which leaps ahead of both Leafeon and Snorlax in the race for first place.
1Glaceon LV. X: Majestic Dawn (Ultra Rare) – $203.76
An Ice Cold Pose
Glaceon claims the top spot as the most valuable LV. X card ever, with a beautiful artwork that features a similar red background to the one used on Leafeon’s card. This card also leads the way as one of themost valuable in Majestic Dawnand maintains its lead among its LV. X peers.
Even though Glaceon isn’t typically more expensive than Leafeon in modern sets, if there’s one thing to learn from the best LV. X cards, it’s that popularity isn’t the most important factor in determining value. Rarity and artwork play key roles in helping Glaceon to reach the top.
