Pokémon TCG: The 10 Most Unbelievably Rare Gen III Cards That Are Worth A Fortune, Ranked

Gen III Pokémon cards may not be worth quite as much as some of their earlier generation counterparts, but some of them can still fetch a good price!

You Are Reading :[thien_display_title]

Pokémon was definitely all the rage during generations one and two. This means the cards in the trading card game are going to be worth more as well. Looking at the rarest cards in generation 1 is proof enough of that.

Once gen three came around however, things really finally started hitting a calm meaning the cards were going to end up less expensive and rare than the predecessors. While this may be true for the most part there are definitely still quite a few cards that are worth triple digits and up. So if you’re interested in things like Pokémon cards selling for $200,000 this list is for you.

10 $89 SUICUNE EX-HOLO – 2003

We’ll be starting things relatively small this time around as a testament to how much less the rare gen three cards can be. Suicune in his ex-holographic form here will just run you a “small” $89. That small may have sarcasm written all over it but this is honestly very cheap when it comes to the more rare trading cards in good condition.

This Suicune had the honor of releasing in the most popular card pack in the gen three line, Magma vs. Aqua. Get ready to hear that pack’s name a lot more because we mean it when we call it the most popular.

9 $100 BLAZIKEN HOLO

Looking back at the past two generations rare and expensive cards lists we’re noticing a trend of the fire Pokémon being the most popular, expensive, and rare monster in the set and generation three definitely continues this tradition. While Blaziken’s mint price can’t touch that of Charizard or Typhlosion it still holds its own with a pretty high $100 price point.

This card was released in the EX Ruby Sapphire card pack which honestly isn’t too popular in the grand scheme of trading card things. Probably the reason it’s only going for $100.

8 $109 UMBREON 1ST TEAM MAGMA VS TEAM AQUA

Another entry from the Team Magma vs Team Aqua pack. You just can’t resist a cool dark type Pokémon and Umbreon is proof of this. Making his appearance on the list with a $109 price, Umbreon is one of the popular, but not too popular, Pokémon in the generation three wave of cards.

This monster’s price really shows how much things have slowed down considering he’d probably be really popular in the older gen lines. We’re just kidding! It’s a popular pocket monster here as well. You’ll see later on in the list.

7 $114 MAGMA’S RHYDON HOLO

For just $114 this Team Magma Rhydon with a nice holographic finish can be yours. A must have for any Pokémon trainer looking to complete their trading card collection. Rhydon is one of those cards where unless you have a very specific version you won’t be going past $20-$30.

This card is another that’s a part of the Team Magma vs Team Aqua pack release but unlike the other expensive cards in that set it seems its price has been dropping throughout the years. Rhydon’s can be found nowadays going for as low as $30 even in the best condition. This shows that just like prices can go up in the trading card world they can go down as well.

6 $175 RAIKOU EX HOLO #92

Another member of the Magma vs Aqua family. Raikou has been seen going for $175 which is somewhat a step down from his gen two entry appearance but not by much. This card was classified as a collectors edition card which ironically leads to the most people keeping the card around meaning its rarity will never be a thing.

That seems to be the case with Raikou as well as his price is pretty high but not as high as the best collectible cards in this trading card game. However, the next card on the list will be a real leap in a more expensive direction.

5 $289 JIRACHI EX HOLO #10

At $289 Jirachi is the big jumping point on our list this time around to hopefully no one’s surprise. Jirachi is one of those Pokémon that you definitely would expect to be expensive but not very rare. Its been a popular pocket monster since its introduction which has obviously leaked into his trading card debut.

Jirachi’s price point stands as the most expensive of the Team Magma vs Team Aqua line, making him the most sought after card in this pack.

4 $465 UMBREON-HOLO – 2003

Now we move on to the most expensive and rare pack of the generation three bunch. The first entry of this Pokémon Aquapolis Set is Umbreon’s holographic appearance which will fetch you a very pretty penny. With $465 being its maximum mint condition price and $300 being the minimum, you won’t be getting out of spending big money on this card.

This card also has some of the most well-loved art on its face in the Pokémon trading card world which is another reason it’s so popular among the card collectors.

3 $500 NIDOKING-HOLO – 2003

Nidoking is one of the members of the Aquapolis set’s Crystal cards group. You see, in this card pack the creators decided to include three special cards that were meant to be rare, special, and of course very valuable.

These cards definitely lived up to those intentions and Nidoking’s $500 price is proof of that even after all these years have passed. There was never any real telling on how many Crystal cards there were in each pack but collectors say there was one to three. After learning about the Crystal cards can you guess what the two remaining cards will be?

2 $600 KINGDRA-HOLO – 2003

Yup, you guessed it, another Crystal card! Kingdra is the second most expensive, rare, and sought after card from the Pokémon generation three line. Collecting experts believed that Crystal cards like this $600 Kingdra will be the sole reason that collectors steer towards this Aquapolis pack more than others in generation three and if the prices have anything to say about it they were completely right!

We really can’t imagine any other reason a Kingdra would be one of the most wanted cards, but then again the trading card world isn’t one of the most sensical ones.

1 $1000 LUGIA-HOLO – 2003

Finally, we have the most predictably expensive card in generation three of the Pokémon trading card game. Who else but Lugia in his holographic debut would make sense in this spot.

If you’d want to grab your own card of this legendary beast it’s not going to cost you as much as the most expensive cards from the last two generations but it definitely won’t cost you too much less. You absolutely will not be finding this card under $900 which is a feat and a half for any card from the generation three line.
