2018 Pokémon cards worth money
The most valuable 2018 Pokémon card is Mimikyu-GX 226/214 from Lost Thunder, at about $325 for a raw copy and $2,545 in a PSA 10 slab. Next come Lillie 151/156 ($297) and Lugia-GX 227/214 ($240). 2018 gave us Ultra Prism, Forbidden Light, Celestial Storm, Dragon Majesty, McDonald's Collection 2018 and Lost Thunder: 847 English cards, of which 119 sell for $20 or more raw today. Every one is priced below, raw and graded, chase cards first, so you can check a stack of 2018 pulls against what they actually fetch.
For a modern year like 2018, the money sits in the top rarities: the alt arts, illustration rares, gold and rainbow secret rares and each set’s hyper-rare chase. Regular holos and reverses are mostly playset money. Condition still decides everything: a played copy sells for less than the raw price here, and a PSA 10 of the same card can be several times more. These sets sit in the Sun & Moon era; the year is the set’s English release date, not the copyright line on the card.

Common questions
Are 2018 Pokémon cards worth anything?
Some are. 119 of the 847 English cards released in 2018 sell for $20 or more raw today, topped by Mimikyu-GX 226/214 at about $325. Most commons and uncommons are bulk unless they are gem mint.
What is the most valuable 2018 Pokémon card?
Mimikyu-GX 226/214 from Lost Thunder, at about $325 raw and $2,545 in PSA 10.
How do I tell if my 2018 Pokémon card is worth money?
Find the set symbol and card number (the set symbols chart helps), match the card here, then check the printing (holo, reverse holo or the special rarity) and the condition: a played card sells for less than the price shown. The price checker walks through it step by step.
Is the year printed on the card the release year?
Not reliably. The copyright line is the artwork’s copyright and can predate the English set by a year or more, and reprints keep the original line. These pages use the English release date of the set.
