Blaziken #257

Blaziken is one of the most beloved starter finals in the game, and its card run shows it — a flagship line that spans a vintage 'ex,' a Platinum LV.X, a Mega EX, GXs, and a secret-rare VMAX. For value and variety, it's among the deepest of any Gen-3 starter.

01Top 10 Notable Blaziken Cards

The fighting rooster spans three collecting eras at full sprint — a rainbow VMAX at the top, dueling ex prints from the EX era's best sets, a Frontier Brain LV.X, and a Trainer Gallery pair. Ranked priciest first.

Blaziken VMAX — Chilling Reign #201
Rank 01 · The Holy Grail

Blaziken VMAX — Chilling Reign #201

The rainbow secret Blaziken VMAX from Chilling Reign (2021) leads at ~$360 — numbered past the set's count and pulled at brutal odds during the pandemic-era print frenzy. Sword & Shield rainbows have cooled from their peak, but the Gen 3 starter flagships held better than almost anything else in the class.

Blaziken ex — Team Magma vs Team Aqua #89
Rank 02

Blaziken ex — Team Magma vs Team Aqua #89

Blaziken ex from Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004) at ~$208 — the dual-faction set is one of the EX era's most beloved, and its Blaziken ex is the vintage heart of this line. Two-prize power mechanic, dramatic mid-lunge art, and twenty years of Hoenn nostalgia behind it.

Blaziken ex — Crystal Guardians #90
Rank 03

Blaziken ex — Crystal Guardians #90

The second vintage ex, from Crystal Guardians (2006), at ~$126 — a later, scarcer set that closed out the EX block's Hoenn run. Collectors who missed the Magma/Aqua print at half this price historically end up here anyway.

Blaziken FB LV.X — Supreme Victors #142
Rank 04

Blaziken FB LV.X — Supreme Victors #142

Blaziken FB LV.X from Supreme Victors (2009) at ~$99 — 'FB' marks it as a Frontier Brain's Pokémon from the SP mechanic era, and it was a legitimate tournament staple alongside LuxChomp-era decks. Competitive pedigree plus LV.X scarcity is a durable combination.

Blaziken — Emerald #1
Rank 05

Blaziken — Emerald #1

The Emerald holo (2005, #1 in the set) at ~$94 — set-number one in the set named for its game, a detail collectors love. Emerald is one of the quieter EX-era sets, which is exactly why its holos keep drifting upward.

M Blaziken-EX — XY Black Star Promos #XY86
Rank 06

M Blaziken-EX — XY Black Star Promos #XY86

M Blaziken-EX from the XY promo run (XY86, premium collection) at ~$84 — the Mega era's blazing-legs take on the starter. Mega promos were opened and forgotten; a decade later supply is thinner than anyone expected.

Blaziken-GX — Celestial Storm #170
Rank 07

Blaziken-GX — Celestial Storm #170

Blaziken-GX rainbow secret from Celestial Storm (2018) at ~$71 — the SM era's hyper-rare treatment. It sat cheap for years and has quietly doubled as Gen 3 starters became the market's favorite nostalgia trade.

Rank 08

Blaziken-GX — Celestial Storm #153

The full-art Blaziken-GX (#153) from the same set at ~$50 — the textured non-rainbow version, and arguably the better-looking card. Full arts historically close the gap on their rainbows over time.

Rank 09

Blaziken VMAX — Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery #TG15

Blaziken VMAX from Silver Tempest's Trainer Gallery (TG15, 2022) at ~$41 — the TG subset's character-art revival with the VMAX in full stride. Trainer Gallery cards were the era's best pull-to-price value and still are.

Blaziken V — Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery #TG14

Its partner, Blaziken V (TG14), at ~$34 — same beloved subset, entry price. Buying TG pairs while both are double digits has been a winning pattern across the whole Sword & Shield catalog.
