Mallow & Lana (Full Art) – $63.49
A Vibrant Duo
Mallow and Lana kick things off with one of the most colorful cards in Cosmic Eclipse, as these two trainers contribute to the vivid design with their blue and green hairstyles. This upbeat moment between the cheerful duo elicits immediate joy that should hopefully soften the blow of paying for this card.
Luckily, if you’ve been holding off on adding this card to your collection, now might be the perfect time to finally get it, as this fabulous full art has fallen from its previous highs of around $75.

Charizard & Braixen GX (Secret Rare) – $74.17
An Unexpected Partner For A Usual Suspect
Charizard is frequently among the top chase cards in any set it appears in, and tops the charts in Champion’s Path with an incredible Rainbow Secret Rare. While this Rainbow Secret Rare doesn’t reach the same price, it still stands out due to the unique pairing.
Charizard and Braixen are both Fire-type starter evolutions, but that’s where their similarities stop. Still, the artwork is gorgeous and Braixen riding on Charizard’s back is a fitting choice.

Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff GX (Alternate Full Art) – $84.23
Two Adorable Pokemon Pair Up
Tag Team cards open the door to dozens of fun pairings to enjoy that you normally wouldn’t find elsewhere, like with Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff. It’s no surprise if you haven’t seen these Pokemon grouped up before, as they come from different generations and operate under different mechanics.
Mega Evolution wasn’t even on the table in Generation One, so Mega Lopunny wouldn’t have encountered a Jigglypuff until the mechanic was introduced in Kalos. This card is a must-have for Lopunny fans and features one of the best Jigglypuff moments to top it off.
8
Red & Blue (Full Art) – $107.37
Pokemon’s Most Famous Rivalry
From their names to their personalities, Red and Blue couldn’t be more opposites, as Blue’s boastful confidence contrasts Red’s calm quietness. This dynamic is apparent in the art, as Red smirks with a closed mouth, while Blue smiles dramatically.

Pokemon TCG: The 7 Most Valuable Cards In Double Crisis
Kyogre and Groudon lead the way in Double Crisis.
This card has held steady in the 90s for a while, but it might just need one push to send it up into the triple-digits, as these two famous Trainers can attract continued demand.
7
Reshiram & Zekrom GX (Full Art) – $108.44
Whose Card Is It Anyway?
This Reshiram & Zekrom card pays homage to these fierce Fire and Electric-type legendary dragons, with their canonical Trainer, N, in the center. While he’s not mentioned on the card, N makes his presence felt with his dramatic pose.
While the Jojo’s-esque pose alone is enough to catch your eye, Reshiram and Zekrom towering above N, portray an incredible scene where two powerful Pokemon exist in harmony with N. The crackling lightning and raging fires burn, but N remains safe at the heart of these two legendary Pokemon
6
Lillie’s Full Force (Full Art) – $125.16
A Bright Prismatic Burst
Lillie boasts one of the most stunning and valuable full-art Trainer cards in the Pokemon TCG, with her eye-catching pose enhanced by a bright, sparkling background. Lillie’s value has settled around $150, previously starting around $120, showing signs of increased demand over time.
While peaks and valleys are to be expected in the history of any valuable Pokemon card, Lillie’s iconic pose and status as one of the most recognizable faces from Sun & Moon gives her plenty of qualities to appreciate.
5
Solgaleo & Lunala GX (Alternate Full Art) – $129.54
A Silent Appearance From A Special Trainer
While the Tag Team cards draw inspiration from valuable Pokemon TCG sets like Gym Challenge, these modern Pokemon-and-Trainer combinations don’t necessarily call attention to the Trainer, instead focusing solely on the Pokemon involved.
The focus on Pokemon is also evident in Sword & Shield’s Trainer Gallery, where Trainers appear, but aren’t named on the card.
As Sun & Moon’s box legendaries, Lunala and Solgaleo are more than capable of carrying this card’s value, but there’s no denying that Lillie’s presence certainly solidifies its price.
4
Cynthia & Caitlin (Full Art) – $134.85
Blonde Buddies Dancing To Victory
This fun, lighthearted artwork features a rare depiction of Cynthia and Caitlin, two relatively subdued Trainers, let loose to do some dancing. Caitlin is rarely moved beyond her sleepy mood and Cynthia’s focus on battle is well-documented, but this art shows an entirely different side to these characters.
Whether you’re a fan of the Trainers pictured or are mesmerized by the splash of colors bursting through from the background, this card is a shining example of Cosmic Eclipse’s best cards.
3
Blastoise & Piplup GX (Alternate Full Art) – $136.67
Water Starters Stick Together
Blastoise is the undisputed bodyguard of this pairing, as the fully-evolved Hydro Pumping turtle looms large over this adorable, but puny little penguin. This card features another unlikely cross-generation pairing, with these Water-type starters enjoying some bonding time.
The cute factor keeps this card’s value afloat, as it hasn’t dipped below $100 in a long time, and looks poised to maintain its current upward trajectory in the triple-digits.
2
Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX (Alternate Full Art) – $178.78
Legendaries On Legendaries
These three legendary Pokemon feature heavily in the Diamond & Pearl era but return to Sun & Moon’s Cosmic Eclipse with triumphant artwork. This regal alternate art depicts the trio as statues lost to time, but persisting to watch over Sinnoh.
This unusual artwork is oddly appropriate for these ancient Pokemon, as few other creatures are revered so openly and fervently as these three. If a trio of legendary Pokemon wasn’t already a standout occurrence, then the choice to feature these statues warrants attention.
1
Rosa (Full Art) – $197.77
Unova’s Favorite Trainer Tops The Charts
Rosa stands tall among incredible Tag Team Trainers and Pokemon, including the mighty legendary trio she eclipsed by over $30. This card’s value and placement among the best Cosmic Eclipse cards is a testament to Rosa’s popularity.
From the bubbly personality to the beautiful artwork, this card portrays Rosa’s energy perfectly and earns the title of the most expensive card from Cosmic Eclipse.
