Garchomp #445

Garchomp is the mach dragon — a jet-fast land shark that flies at the speed of sound to run down prey, and the legendary signature ace of Sinnoh Champion Cynthia. A true flagship, its line is one of the deepest in Gen 4, led by a secret-rare past $350.

01Top 10 Notable Garchomp Cards

Cynthia's ace has a chart that reads like a history of the game's power mechanics — a shiny secret rare, a Champion's ex, LV.X twins from the deck that terrorized 2010, Tag Team rainbows, and a Mega. Ranked priciest first.

Garchomp — Plasma Freeze #120
Rank 01 · The Holy Grail

Garchomp — Plasma Freeze #120

The crown at ~$357 is the shiny secret rare from 2013's Plasma Freeze — numbered 120 in a 116-card set, the kind of over-the-count oddity Black & White-era collectors hunted pack after pack for. Shiny Garchomp's jet-black body makes it one of the era's best-looking secrets, and the land shark's flagship status keeps demand permanent.

Cynthia's Garchomp ex — Destined Rivals #232
Rank 02

Cynthia's Garchomp ex — Destined Rivals #232

Destined Rivals (2025) revived the classic 'owned Pokémon' concept, and no pairing landed harder than the Sinnoh Champion and her ace. Cynthia's Garchomp ex in special-art form shows the partnership that defined a generation of players' first great wall — a modern character chase at ~$291 and climbing whenever Cynthia trends.

Garchomp LV.X — Majestic Dawn #97
Rank 03

Garchomp LV.X — Majestic Dawn #97

Majestic Dawn (2008) gave Garchomp its first premium treatment: the LV.X mechanic, where your ace 'leveled up' mid-battle. At ~$147 it's the vintage anchor of the line — Diamond & Pearl-era holofoil, torn-sky art, and the card that announced Garchomp as a TCG heavyweight, not just a games one.

Garchomp & Giratina-GX — Unified Minds #247
Rank 04

Garchomp & Giratina-GX — Unified Minds #247

A Tag Team rainbow secret from Unified Minds (2019) — Garchomp & Giratina-GX in full hyper-rare gloss at ~$120. The GX era's rainbow treatment is divisive, but pairing Cynthia's two signature Pokémon on one card made this one of the set's defining pulls.

M Garchomp-EX — XY Black Star Promos #XY168
Rank 05

M Garchomp-EX — XY Black Star Promos #XY168

Mega Garchomp got its EX mostly through promos, and XY168 — from the Mega Garchomp premium collection — is the one collectors chase at ~$111. XY-era Mega art leaned monstrous, and this scythe-armed take on the land shark is peak of the style.

Garchomp & Giratina-GX — SM Black Star Promos #SM193
Rank 06

Garchomp & Giratina-GX — SM Black Star Promos #SM193

The same Garchomp & Giratina-GX pairing as a Black Star promo (SM193, from the Tag Team premium boxes) at ~$90. Promo Tag Teams often lag their set twins in price, which quietly makes this the affordable route to the artwork.

Garchomp V — Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery #TG23
Rank 07

Garchomp V — Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery #TG23

From Astral Radiance's beloved Trainer Gallery (2022): Garchomp V with Cynthia herself in frame at ~$85. The TG subset revived the character-art formula that made Full Arts famous, and Cynthia cards have their own collector gravity — this is one of the smartest sub-$100 buys on the chart.

Garchomp C LV.X — Supreme Victors #145
Rank 08

Garchomp C LV.X — Supreme Victors #145

Garchomp C LV.X from Supreme Victors (2009) at ~$77 — the 'C' means Cynthia's Garchomp, from the SP mechanic era. This is the engine of LuxChomp, arguably the most dominant competitive deck in the game's history, and tournament nostalgia keeps it relevant.

Garchomp C LV.X — DP Black Star Promos #DP46
Rank 09

Garchomp C LV.X — DP Black Star Promos #DP46

The DP Black Star promo printing of Garchomp C LV.X (DP46) at ~$61 — functionally identical to the Supreme Victors copy and the version most 2010-era players actually slid into LuxChomp. A genuine piece of competitive history at a friendlier price.

Garchomp & Giratina-GX — Unified Minds #228
Rank 10

Garchomp & Giratina-GX — Unified Minds #228

The full-art (non-rainbow) Garchomp & Giratina-GX from Unified Minds at ~$60 — same Tag Team, textured full-art treatment, roughly half the rainbow's price. For players who want the card as art rather than as a trophy, this is the pick.
