Emolga #587

Emolga — the Sky Squirrel Pokémon, the cheerful Electric/Flying flying-squirrel that became Unova's de facto 'Pikachu-replacement' anime mascot. Iris's main partner through the Best Wishes anime arc, perpetually shocking her with surprise Volt Switch attacks. Standalone single-stage Pokémon with surprising card depth: an XY-era Emolga-EX from the XY base set at $54 (the line's grail), the Radiant Collection alt-art from Legendary Treasures at $43, and a 2025 Black Bolt IR at $20.

01Top 10 Notable Emolga Cards

Emolga's Top 10 is one of the deepest non-flagship Unova lists. The 2014 XY-base-set Emolga-EX Full Art leads at $54 (the line's grail), the 2013 Legendary Treasures Radiant Collection alt-art sits in second at $43, the 2025 Black Bolt IR at $20, the 2012 McDonald's promo at $10, plus the standard Emolga-EX print at $7.57. Five cards above $7 for the flying squirrel.

Rank 02

Legendary Treasures' Radiant Collection (RC23) — the bonus mini-set of Pokémon-character-focused alt-art reprints tucked into the 2013 BW-era greatest-hits closer. The Radiant Collection prints are specifically scarcer than the main set, and Emolga's alt-art here is a deep-cut $43 chase.

Rank 03

The 2025 throwback chase. Black Bolt's Illustration Rare gives the flying squirrel a painterly modern showcase — full-art portrait sitting third in a stacked Top 10, an excellent modern collector pickup.

Rank 04

A 2012 McDonald's Happy Meal promo handed out the year after Emolga's English debut. Holo-foil, usually creased from kid-handling — and the line's distribution-driven mid-tier collector pickup.

Rank 05

The standard Emolga-EX from the same 2014 XY base set as the FA at #143 — the non-alt-art version of the same card. Same ex card mechanically, no full-art treatment, cheaper alternative.
