Typhlosion #157

Typhlosion is the volcano badger that caps Johto's Fire starter line — a Pokemon that erupts in a roaring wall of flame, and one of the most beloved final starters in the franchise. Its cards are led by the original Neo Genesis holo and two EX-era ex prints.

01Top 10 Notable Typhlosion Cards

Two Neo Genesis holos sit at the top like rival siblings, backed by twin ex prints, an e-Card classic, a Dark variant, and the Prime that HGSS players remember. The volcano Pokémon's chart is pure Johto royalty — ranked priciest first.

Rank 01 · The Holy Grail

Typhlosion — Neo Genesis #17

Neo Genesis (2000) printed two different Typhlosion holos, and #17 is the alpha — at ~$451 it's one of the most valuable Johto cards in the entire hobby. First-wave Neo holofoil, the set that introduced Gen 2 to the TCG, and the starter most kids picked: everything about it compounds. Clean raw copies are getting genuinely hard to source.

Typhlosion — Neo Genesis #18
Rank 02

Typhlosion — Neo Genesis #18

The sister holo, Neo Genesis #18, at ~$255. Same set, same rarity, different art and attacks — an oddity of early Wizards-era printing that gives Typhlosion two 'first' holos. Collectors completing the pair treat this as non-negotiable, which keeps steady pressure under the price.

Typhlosion ex — Sandstorm #99
Rank 03

Typhlosion ex — Sandstorm #99

Typhlosion ex from Sandstorm (2003) at ~$155 — the EX-era's first crack at the volcano badger, when 'ex' meant a harder-hitting card you lost two prizes for. Sandstorm singles have quietly climbed for years as the era's nostalgia matures.

Typhlosion ex — Unseen Forces #110
Rank 04

Typhlosion ex — Unseen Forces #110

The second ex, from Unseen Forces (2005), at ~$146. Unseen Forces is the definitive Johto tribute set of the EX era, and its Typhlosion ex bookends the Sandstorm print — many collectors end up wanting both for the same reason they want both Neo holos.

Typhlosion — Unseen Forces #17
Rank 05

Typhlosion — Unseen Forces #17

Unseen Forces also delivered a standard holo Typhlosion (#17 — the number a nice echo of Neo Genesis) at ~$99. It's the affordable face of the 2005 Johto revival and a sleeper: holo, playable era, classic art, still double digits.

Typhlosion — Expedition Base Set #28
Rank 06

Typhlosion — Expedition Base Set #28

The Expedition Base Set print (2002) at ~$98 — from the first e-Card series, with the era's distinctive e-Reader borders. Expedition, Aquapolis and Skyridge were short-printed and under-opened, and their holos have become some of the smartest vintage buys outside Base Set.

Dark Typhlosion — Neo Destiny #10
Rank 07

Dark Typhlosion — Neo Destiny #10

Dark Typhlosion from Neo Destiny (2002) at ~$81 — part of the beloved 'Dark' subset where your starters turned menacing. Neo Destiny closed the Neo block and is loaded with low-supply chase cards; the Dark starters are its heart.

Typhlosion — HeartGold & SoulSilver #110
Rank 08

Typhlosion — HeartGold & SoulSilver #110

Typhlosion Prime (HeartGold & SoulSilver, 2010) at ~$67 — the Prime subset was HGSS's answer to the LV.X, with tight close-up art and real tournament muscle. This one fueled fire decks of the era and remains the card 2010 kids picture when they hear the name.

Typhlosion δ — Dragon Frontiers #12
Rank 09

Typhlosion δ — Dragon Frontiers #12

Typhlosion δ from Dragon Frontiers (2006) at ~$60 — a delta species print that reimagined the Fire starter with an off-type twist, one of the EX era's strangest and most collectible experiments. Dragon Frontiers holos are thin on the ground.

Typhlosion — HGSS Black Star Promos #HGSS09

The HGSS Black Star promo (HGSS09) at ~$53 rounds out the ten — a holofoil promo from the tin era that flew under the radar. Promos like this have a way of drying up completely once a line's flagship prices run.
