    Wizards of the CoastAquapolisH12003Rare Holo

    $620

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $70,000

    Ampharos stands upright in a grassy field at dusk, smiling with its red tail orb glowing, while the e-Card sparkle holo pattern scatters light across the whole scene like falling stars. Art by Shin-ichi Yoshida keeps it gentle and simple. As a Rare Holo from Aquapolis, part of the late e-Card era with its textured borders, it draws fans of the Light Pokémon and holo collectors alike.

    PSA 10 $30,390

    Ampharos ex shows the Light Pokémon in clean, glossy CG, turned in profile with its glowing tail orb set against a sparkling holo background that bursts with starry flecks. The full-card shimmer and simple composition give it that classic EX era look. Collectors chase it for Ampharos's loyal fan base and the appeal of early Rare Holo EX cards from Dragon, art by Ryo Ueda.

    Highest recorded sale $138,000 · PSA 10 · Oct 1, 2026

    $295

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $138,000

    Ampharos stretches across a dark, starry holo field speckled with red cosmic patches, its glowing tail orb and striped ears catching the light against the sparkle. Art by Atsuko Nishida gives it a soft, friendly look, and Expedition's cosmos-style holo makes it read like a night sky. Rare Holo cards from the e-Card era are hard to find clean, and this one draws fans of the series' distinct design.

  4. 4

    Dark Ampharos

    Wizards of the CoastNeo Destiny1/1052002Rare Holo

    $134

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $9,000

    Dark Ampharos curls into a glowing yellow ball against a cracked, lightning-veined night sky, its red tail orb lit up and a burst of energy flaring at its chest. The art by Kagemaru Himeno has that painterly, slightly eerie Neo Destiny feel, set over the classic starry holo pattern. Dark Pokémon from this set are a favorite chase for vintage collectors, and this one leads off the holo run.

  5. 5

    Dark Ampharos

    EXTeam Rocket Returns2/1092004Rare Holo

    $110

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $5,280

    Dark Ampharos stands in profile against a sparkling holofoil backdrop streaked with jagged lightning, its stern eyes and glowing tail giving the usually friendly Pokémon a sinister edge. Art by Emi Miwa, the card carries the dual Lightning and Darkness typing that defines Team Rocket Returns. Collectors seek it out for that moody foil effect and its place among the set's sought-after Dark holos.

  6. 6

    Ampharos

    EXUnseen Forces1/1152005Rare Holo

    $105

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $9,999

    Ampharos strides across a grassy hill under a starry night sky, its red tail orb glowing as dandelion-like seed heads drift around it, all rendered in a soft, storybook style with art by Kyoko Umemoto. The sparkling holofoil makes the night scene shimmer. Fans of the EX era chase this Rare Holo from Unseen Forces for its gentle charm and the Pokémon's steady popularity.

    HeartGold & SoulSilverHeartGold & SoulSilver105/1232010Rare Prime

    $80.00

    PSA 10 $35,400

    Ampharos fills the frame in an extreme close-up, its glossy yellow head turned with a calm side-eye while the glowing red orbs on its forehead and tail flare against a dark blue swirl of stylized clouds. Art by Kent Kanetsuna, the shiny, almost sculpted rendering suits the Prime treatment, and the silver spiked border marks it as one of the Rare Prime cards that defined the HeartGold & SoulSilver era.

  8. 8

    Ampharos

    Wizards of the CoastNeo Revelation1/642001Rare Holo

    $73.80

    PSA 10 $2,422

    Ampharos stands in profile against a sparkling cosmos-style holo foil, looking back over its shoulder with a calm smile while the red orb on its striped tail glows near the edge of the frame. Art by Toshinao Aoki keeps the figure simple and flat, letting the starry foil do the work. It opens the Neo Revelation holo run, and fans of the Johto-era Electric sheep chase clean copies.

  9. 9

    Ampharos δ

    EXDragon Frontiers1/1012006Rare Holo

    $60.30

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $4,808

    Ampharos δ shows the Light Pokémon leaping across a misty, rocky landscape, its yellow body and striped tail set against a glowing green sky, painted with the soft, rounded look of art by Kagemaru Himeno. As a Delta Species holo from Dragon Frontiers, it carries the colorless typing and Holon Veil Poké-Body that made it a well-known engine for Delta decks, and fans of the EX era chase it for both reasons.
