ME01: Mega Evolution · Ultra Rare · Holofoil
Pricier than 92% of the cards we track in this set · at the bottom of its 12-month range ($3.84–$30.00)
Its interest score of 51 out of 100 is driven most by price steadiness — jumpy price. Blue bars pushed the score up, red bars pulled it down. The ingredients are weighted by how well each one has actually predicted price moves in this market, measured on your own price history rather than assumed.
Is this card interesting right now?
Ordinary - 51 out of 100
It ranks above 51% of the cards we track. The score describes the conditions around the card today - how sellers are pricing it, how it is trending, how steadily it trades. It is not a prediction, and it says nothing about whether you will enjoy owning the card.
Why is it interesting?
Jumpy price and well off its highs
The price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing. It sits well below its high of the past year.
Is it becoming more popular?
Mostly yes
Compared with the Pokemon market as a whole, so a rising tide does not count as popularity. In this market these trends have tended to keep going rather than reverse.
Is it expensive or cheap?
$5.07 - expensive for its set
At $5.07 it is one of the priciest cards in its set - number 26 of 310 by price. Against other Ultra Rare cards it sits at the 42th percentile. It is 492% below its 12-month high. Worth knowing: in this market cards near their highs have gone on to do better than deeply discounted ones, so a big discount is not automatically a bargain.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Ultra Rare from a recent set
Ultra Rare is a common tier - 2,592 tracked cards share it. This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Easily - it trades often
The price changed in 98% of our checks over the past year across 363 observations. TCGplayer's market price only updates when a copy sells, so a low figure means the price shown may be stale and any trend reading is built on very few real sales.
Is grading worth considering?
No
At $5.07 raw, grading costs roughly $22.00 - more than the card itself. Only worth it for sentimental reasons. This is a rule of thumb from the card's raw price, age and price stability. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data - so this cannot tell you what a PSA 10 of this card is worth. Check a graded price guide before spending money.
Slightly ahead of the market
An estimated 57% chance of beating the typical tracked card over the next 60 days, by around +3.7% on a middling outcome.
$4.06 – $7.59 — 80% likely. The middle half lands between $4.80 and $6.31. Today it is $5.07.
Assumes the market as a whole drifts +4.0% over 60 days, its recent average. That part is an assumption carried forward, not a prediction — the 'vs market' figure above does not depend on it.
Prices here are TCGplayer's market price, which is an average of recent sales and lags a real move by a few weeks. Part of any short-term forecast is that lag catching up — visible in the chart, but not something you can buy at.
