You can own 141 of the 151 priced cards in Xy Base Set for about $165. The median card is $0.44. The remaining $652 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Blastoise EX (142 Full Art), $160) is 20% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 20% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

CHEAPER THAN THE BOX

The single most valuable card in this set costs $3,567.95 less than one sealed booster box of it. Box price TCGplayer, as of 2026-09-22.

Two recorded prices. The odds of pulling the card are the rip simulation below, not this line.

Every price is the tracked TCGplayer figure from our nightly sealed sync. Cost per pack is shown only where the pack count is recorded on a single-unit product; lots (cases, multi-sets) are listed but never enter per-pack math. No pack counts are assumed.

Rip report

No rip report for Xy Base Set

No published pull-rate study exists for this set, so there is nothing honest to simulate. We only rip sets whose per-pack odds come from a published, sourced study, and an inherited or inferred rate would put an invented number under every figure on this panel.

We publish a rip simulation only where per-pack odds come from a published, sourced study. Which sets have published pull rates counts what exists: 31 of the 110 English sets sold in booster packs, resting on eleven studies.
