Pokémon TCG’s Latest Expansion Features a Darkrai Valued at $1,000 — Top 10 Most Valuable Cards Revealed
Pokémon TCG's newest expansion, Mega Evolution – Pitch Black, launched on 17 July 2026 with a Dark and Ghost-type theme centred on Mega Darkrai, and early market data already shows several cards commanding high resale prices among collectors. The set introduces new Mega Evolutions and Trainer cards alongside eerie, city-themed artwork, and TCGPlayer figures indicate strong early demand is driving rapid price swings for the most sought-after pulls.
The standout card is a Mega Darkrai ex (120/084), which launched near $1,000, while another Mega Darkrai ex variant (116/084) has traded as high as $520. Other notable risers include Morpeko ex (around $193), Mega Zeraora ex (around $171) and Misty's Vitality, an Ultra Rare that launched at $60 before dropping to roughly $35. Several Illustration Rares, including Goldeen and Slowbro, also featured prominently, though some values have already fallen back within a week of release, reflecting the volatility typical of new-set pricing.
