Summary
Every time a newPokemon TCGset releases there’s a rush on cards, packs, boxes, and more, with collectors and tournament grinders rushing to get their favorite cards for new decks or binders. With the release of Stellar Crown there are a ton of neat new cards coming to the game, driving the prices of cards higher and higher.
As the set’s name suggests, this set is filled with tons of Stellar Pokemon, special crystalline Pokemon from the Area Zero Underdepths of the Paldea region, deep within the Great Crater of Paldea. These Pokemon, with fancy rainbow crowns, are all over the place in Stellar Crown, making some great cards to collect and play with.
Updated by Ryan Hay on June 29, 2025- It’s been a few months since Stellar Crown was released so it’s time to go back and see how some of our favorite cards from the set have held up in terms of value, and which others have risen to the top. Many of the most valuable cards remain on top, while a few newcomers have joined the higher-priced cards from the set. If you’ve opened any of these cards since release you might want to consider adding them to a binder or double sleeve them to keep them safe.
13Zeraora - 151/142
Illustration Rare - $11.43
There is a lot to love with this Illustration Rare Zeraora. From the stunning colors to the feeling of speed in the artwork Illustrator Kazumasa Yasukuni pulls out all the stops in this amazing card.
Zeraora might not be doing a whole lot for you in a deck, its Combat Thunder attack is solid but only really deals around 120 damage a go, but if you’re looking to show off a bit or have a collection of amazing artwork you’ve been looking to add to, this card will slot right in.
12Bravery Charm
Hyper Rare - $11.71
Hyper Rare cards almost always go for a fair amount, with some a bit more accessible than others and that is exactly where you find Bravery Charm. This Pokemon Tool features the all gold color scheme that Hyper Rare cards sport, helping this normally overlooked card stand out from the crowd.
Bravery Charm gives your attached Pokemon a boost of 50 HP, but only so long as that Pokemon is a Basic one. That gives you just enough HP to tank through an attack or two, letting you slap back with an attack of your own.
11Milcery - 152/142
Illustration Rare - $12.72
There is so much charm to be found in this Illustration Rare iteration of the Cream Pokemon Milcery. The card features Milcery at the center of a tasty treat shop, with all sorts of candy, cookies, sweets, and treats all around it.
This card is illustrated by Dsuke who brings in a soft aesthetic that matches the delightful joy that Milcery has on its face. You might not be playing Milcery much in decks, but it certainly catches the eye of any Pokemon card collector.
10Area Zero Underdepths - 174/142
Hyper Rare - $16.27
If you’re running a Terapagos ex deck you’re going to want to be expanding your bench a bit to really get that Unified Beatdown attack up there, and that is where Area Zero Underdepths comes in.
If you have a Tera Pokemon in play you may expand your Bench up to 8 Pokemon with Area Zero Underdepths out.This Stadium can bump Terapagos exall the way up to dealing 240 damage instead of the base 150, making it capable of taking down most competitive Pokemon in just one blow. If Area Zero Underdepths gets replaced or removed from play you’ll have to shrink your Bench back down to just five Pokemon, so play carefully.
9Terapagos ex - 173/142
Hyper Rare - $16.30
Hyper rare cards are always a delight to open in packs. Something about the pure gold background and the stark contrast of the Pokemon’s art makes it so rewarding to open. With Terapagos ex in particular busting out of this card with all the many types of color on it.
Terapagos ex is a fascinating card too, with two very strong attacks. Unified Beatdown is so strong that you can’t use it on your first turn if you’re going second, dealing 30 damage for each of your Benched Pokemon for just two Colorless Energy. That’s a solid 150 damage off a normal Bench, which is pretty good against plenty of Pokemon.
8Briar - 171/142
Special Illustration Rare - $21.69
Briar, the Terastal researcher joins Stellar Crown with a Supporter card that helps you win a game even faster thanks to its effect. Playing Briar comes with a few stipulations. You can only use it if your opponent has exactly two prize cards left, but in exchange, you can take one more Prize card when you knock out your opponent’s Active Pokemon, so long asa Tera Pokemon knocked them out.
Cards that boost the number of prizes you take can be exceptionally good in a game, and having a Supporter card that can give any Tera Pokemon you have that effect is exceptionally good.
7Galvantula ex - 168/142
Special Illustration Rare - $25.46
Putting punishing restrictions on your opponent is an incredibly powerful move to whip out on your opponent, and Galvantula ex is a fantastic way to do that. Galvantula ex has two attacks, the Fulgurite one deals 180 damage, a solid blow to many Pokemon, but more importantly, it prevents your opponent from playing any Item cards from their hand on their next turn.
It does come with the downside of having to discard all energies attached to them, as well as costing three different Energy to use but that’s not a problem with a few different ways to recover Energy in Stellar Crown.
6Lacey - 172/142
Special Illustration Rare - $30.67
Drawing cards is always goodand Lacey does a pretty good job of that late in the game. When you play Lacey you shuffle your hand into your deck, replacing your hand with a fresh four. If your opponent has three or less Prize cards left, you get to draw eight cards instead.
This type of catch-up mechanic helps you come back from behind a bit, with the goal of helping you stabilize with more cards in hand. Lacey was introduced to players in The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as a member of the BB League Elite Four as a Fairy Type trainer.
5Hydrapple ex - 167/142
Special Illustration Rare - $31.37
Both a very pretty Pokemon card and a powerful fun, Hydrapple ex’s Special Illustration Rare is among the most valuable cards in Stellar Crown. With is Ripening Charge ability lets you take a Basic Grass Energy and attach it to any of your Pokemon in play, healing 30 damage from them when you do so.
This lets you play two Energy a turn, quickly letting you outpace your opponent while sustaining your own Pokemon through multiple attacks. Once you’re ready to start swinging, you can have Hydrapple ex deal a ton of damage since it deals 30 damage, plus 30 more damage for each Grass Energy attached to all your Pokemon.
4Dachsbun ex - 169/142
Special Illustration Rare - $44.82
Sometimes a Pokemon card jumps up in value thanks to gorgeous art and Dashsbun ex is absolutely stunning. The little bun-inspired puppers is surrounded by some absolutely delectable treats, pastries, and delights, all laid out on a picnic blanket.
Dachsbun ex has only one attack, costing two Colorless Energy to deal 130 damage and leaving your opponent’s Active Pokemon Confused. You can also its adorably named Ability Time to Chow Down to heal a bunch of your Evolved Pokemon when you play Dachsbun ex, though you have to discard all Energy attached to them.
