  1. 1

    Gengar LV.X

    PlatinumArceus97/992009Rare Holo LV.X

    Highest recorded sale $240,000 · PSA 10 · Sep 21, 2026

    $600

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $108,617

    Gengar LV.X fills the frame with a looming, CG-rendered Gengar, grinning wide with glittering red eyes as a swirl of dark energy coils behind it against a smeared pink and black holo backdrop. Art by Shizurow, the close, menacing angle makes it one of the more striking LV.X cards from the Arceus set. Gengar's huge fan following keeps this Platinum-era holo in steady demand.

  2. 2

    Ponyta

    PlatinumArceusSH112009Rare

    $300

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $28,800

    Ponyta trots through a shady forest path here with its mane and tail burning blue instead of the usual orange, the shiny coloring set against pink flowers and soft green grass, art by Kanako Eo. As one of the shiny Pokémon tucked into Arceus as a secret card, it draws collectors chasing the full shiny subset, and the gentle storybook style makes it a favorite among Platinum era fans.

  3. 3

    Arceus LV.X

    PlatinumArceus94/992009Rare Holo LV.X

    $204

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $39,600

    Arceus LV.X shows the Alpha Pokémon lunging forward in a sharp three-dimensional render, its golden cross-wheel arcing behind it against a swirl of cosmic color, with the head pushing right out past the art frame. Art by Shizurow. Collectors chase it as the title card of the Arceus set, a Rare Holo LV.X with the rule letting you run as many copies as you like.

  4. 4

    Salamence LV.X

    PlatinumArceus98/992009Rare Holo LV.X

    $197

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $63,554

    Salamence LV.X fills its frame with a sweeping, close-up view of the dragon banking through a swirling dark sky, its red wings arched overhead and that narrow, glaring eye locked on you. The CG art by Ryo Ueda leans into the cramped, in-your-face composition. As a Rare Holo LV.X closing out the Arceus set, it draws dragon fans and anyone chasing the Platinum-era Level-Up cards.

  5. 5

    Arceus LV.X

    PlatinumArceus95/992009Rare Holo LV.X

    $188

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $84,000

    Arceus LV.X shows the Alpha Pokémon in a sharp, angular CG render, its white body and gold cross-wheel twisting toward you against a speckled cosmic backdrop of red and teal. Art by Ryo Ueda, it carries the sparkly LV.X holo finish of the Platinum era. As the Legendary centerpiece of the Arceus set, with the unusual rule letting you run as many as you like, it remains a favorite chase.

  6. 6

    Shinx

    PlatinumArceusSH122009Rare

    $170

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $3,500

    This Shinx is one of the shiny variants tucked into Arceus, showing the little Flash Pokémon in a golden yellow coat instead of its usual blue, bounding across a rocky canyon ledge with its star-tipped tail flicked high. Art by sui gives it a soft, painterly warmth against the pale cliffs. Shiny hunters and Platinum-era fans chase it because these alternate-color subset cards are a fun, distinctive corner of the set.

  7. 7

    Charizard

    PlatinumArceus1/992009Rare Holo

    $158

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $32,152

    Charizard lunges straight at you here, jaws open, claws spread and wings flared, its tail flame curling across the top of a starry, sparkling holo background. The art by Kagemaru Himeno has that glossy, rendered look of the Platinum era. As the Rare Holo Charizard leading off the Arceus set, it draws fans of the Flame Pokémon chasing every era of its cards.

  8. 8

    Bagon

    PlatinumArceusSH102009Rare

    $130

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $16,099

    Bagon stands on a rocky ledge with a waterfall spilling behind it, mouth open and stubby arms out, rendered in the soft, painterly style of art by Naoyo Kimura. This is a shiny-colored Bagon, bright lime green instead of its usual blue, from the Arceus shiny subset with a reverse-style foil finish. Shiny cards from this era have a devoted following, and this one fits right into a Salamence evolution line.

  9. 9

    Arceus LV.X

    PlatinumArceus96/992009Rare Holo LV.X

    $120

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $84,600

    Arceus LV.X shows the Legendary Pokémon in a glossy CG render, its golden cross-wheel arching around a pale white body against swirling green and violet energy, with art by Ryo Ueda. The silver-bordered LV.X frame and full holo finish give it a striking look. As one of several Arceus LV.X cards from the Arceus set, it's a favorite for fans of the Platinum era and of the Alpha Pokémon itself.
