The Most Valuable Pokémon Cards from 2010 Sets, sorted by default.
- 1
Gengar
HeartGold & SoulSilverHS—Triumphant94/1022010Rare Prime
$1,500Ungraded
PSA 10 $31,200
Gengar fills nearly the whole frame here, leaning in close with a glinting red eye, a wide grin and its tongue lolling out, while crackling lightning and a swirl of ghostly light streak behind it. Art by Takashi Yamaguchi gives it a glossy, shadowy feel. As a Rare Prime from HS—Triumphant, framed in that spiky silver-gold border, it draws Gengar fans and anyone chasing the HeartGold & SoulSilver era's Prime cards.
- 2
Umbreon
HeartGold & SoulSilverHS—Undaunted86/902010Rare Prime
$1,144Ungraded
PSA 10 $66,000
Umbreon fills almost the whole frame here, a tight close-up of its dark face with one glowing red eye catching a sharp glint of light, set against a patterned backdrop with a golden crescent moon and drifting clouds. Art by Hideaki Hakozaki, the moody, cinematic framing suits Umbreon perfectly. As a Rare Prime from Undaunted, it pairs that silver-bordered Prime treatment with one of the most loved Eevee evolutions.
- 3
Tropical Tidal Wave
HeartGold & SoulSilverHGSS Black Star PromosHGSS182010Promo
$600Ungraded
PSA 10 $9,888
Tropical Tidal Wave is a Trainer from the HGSS Black Star Promos, illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, and it carries a special reputation among collectors of the HeartGold & SoulSilver era. As a promo rather than a pack card, it sits outside the usual set chase, which makes it a satisfying find for anyone completing the full promo run or hunting the more unusual Trainers of the series.
- 4
Espeon
HeartGold & SoulSilverHS—Undaunted81/902010Rare Prime
$567Ungraded
PSA 10 $63,000
Espeon fills almost the whole frame here, a glossy CG close-up with one violet eye catching a sharp glint of light and the red forehead gem glowing against a warm orange sky. Art by Hideaki Hakozaki gives it a moody, dramatic feel. As a Rare Prime from HS—Undaunted, it sits among the holo-bordered highlights of the era, and Eeveelution fans chase it for that intense portrait.
- 5
Mew
HeartGold & SoulSilverHS—Triumphant97/1022010Rare Prime
$500Ungraded
PSA 10 $27,330
Mew drifts through a swirling cosmic backdrop of teal, violet and crackling lightning, rendered in glossy CG with a bright glint in its eye as it curls toward the viewer. Art by Hideaki Hakozaki, this Rare Prime from HS—Triumphant carries the jagged silver border of that era's premium cards, and its Lost Link Poké-Body made it a well-known engine for Lost Zone decks, giving Mew fans and players alike reason to chase it.
- 6
Rayquaza & Deoxys LEGEND
HeartGold & SoulSilverHS—Undaunted89/902010LEGEND
$460Ungraded
PSA 10 $84,000
This is the top half of the Rayquaza & Deoxys LEGEND pair, illustrated by Shinji Higuchi and Sachiko Eba, with Rayquaza's green head roaring at the viewer while Deoxys's blue and orange tentacles coil across the foreground in a rendered, almost sculpted style. LEGEND cards needed both halves side by side, so complete sets are harder to assemble. Fans of either Hoenn Legendary Pokémon chase this sideways two-card format from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era.
- 7
Gyarados
HeartGold & SoulSilverHeartGold & SoulSilver123/1232010Rare Holo
$399Ungraded
PSA 10 $156,000
This Gyarados shows the red shiny form rearing out of a storm-tossed sea, jaws wide open as rain streaks across the frame and lightning splits the dark sky behind it. The glossy, almost CGI rendering, art by Wataru Kawahara, makes the scene feel wet and loud. Collectors chase it as the closing card of the HeartGold & SoulSilver set, a Rare Holo nod to the famous Lake of Rage encounter.
- 8
Tyranitar
HeartGold & SoulSilverHS—Unleashed88/952010Rare Prime
$358Ungraded
PSA 10 $192,000
Tyranitar fills the frame in a tight close-up, its green armored head twisted toward you with a glinting red eye and open jaws, while spikes and a claw crowd the edges against a dark swirled backdrop. Art by Wataru Kawahara, this Rare Prime from HS—Unleashed carries the era's spiky silver border, and fans of the Johto pseudo-legendary prize it as one of the boldest Prime cards in the set.
- 9
Lugia
HeartGold & SoulSilverHGSS Black Star PromosHGSS022010Promo
$300Ungraded
PSA 10 $114,000
Lugia surges through a deep blue underwater scene, wings spread wide and head turned toward you, surrounded by swirling currents and drifting bubbles in a painterly style, art by Takashi Yamaguchi. As a promo from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era, it ties into the return of Johto that made Lugia a favorite again, and its moody ocean palette sets it apart from brighter sky-themed Lugia cards.
- 10
Lugia LEGEND
HeartGold & SoulSilverHeartGold & SoulSilver113/1232010LEGEND
$300Ungraded
PSA 10 $5,700
This half of Lugia LEGEND, illustrated by Shinji Higuchi, shows a churning wall of seawater in deep blues and sunlit greens, with the dark sweep of Lugia's wing breaking through the spray. Printed sideways, it only makes sense once paired with its other half, which is exactly why collectors hunt both. Lugia's devoted following and the painterly water effects make this split LEGEND a favorite from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era.
