Pokemon TCG: The 10 Most Valuable Cards In Unbroken Bonds (2024)

The Pokemon TCG features distinct qualities for each expansion set that releases during a given generation. Sun & Moon's trademark Tag Team Pokemon and popular Trainer cards are hallmarks of .

Unbroken Bonds features a wonderful blend of Pokemon partners depicted during some of their most serene moments on Alola. While combat and action are often the focus, the best Unbroken Bonds cards focus more on the quiet moments we share with our friends outside of battle.

10 Reshiram & Charizard GX (Alternate Full Art) – $36.11

A Fiery Dragon Family

Charizard is always a staple among the most expensive cards in any set that includes this iconic Pokemon. Whether it's among the most expensive cards in Darkness Ablaze or taking the crown for the base set's most valuable starter, Charizard is always desirable.

Reshiram's inclusion on this card enhances the cool factor even more, which Charizard usually handles on its own. Two powerful Fire-type Pokemon, like Reshiram and Charizard, represent their type well with this excellent artwork to kick things off.

9 Gardevoir & Sylveon GX (Secret) – $53.60

A Colorblast For Fairy Friends

Charizard & Reshiram should be followed by Gardevoir & Sylveon, as these two dynamic duos account for four of the top ten most valuable cards in Unbroken Bonds. While each duo's more expensive versions are flipped, it's no surprise to see these four Pokemon commanding high values.

Much like Charizard, Sylveon's status as an Eeveelution makes any card it appears on more valuable than it would've been. Gardevoir's presence is similar, as these two Pokemon are among the most popular Fairty types in the TCG.

8 Pokegear 3.0 (Secret) – $58.90

Don't Sleep On Item Cards

Most Trainer item cards often fall off from the most expensive cards in their respective set, but certain iconic or noteworthy items buck the trend, securing solid prices through high demand. However, the Gold Secret Rare versions of items have collectible value.

Whether you want to add some bling to your competitive deck or enjoy the art of the Pokegear, this card's nearly-$60 price tag exceeds the most expensive cards in Celebrations, hammering home just how impressive the Pokegear's price is.

7 Blatoise GX (Secret) – $71.44

A Rare Solo Pokemon Appearance

Blastoise is one of the most popular TCG Pokemon ever and would likely command even higher value if it wasn't for the direct competition it faces from its fellow starter, Charizard. Despite the stiff competition among Kantonian starters, Blastoise can boast that it's the only solo Pokemon to appear.

While the most valuable Unbroken Bonds cards typically feature two subjects, Blastoise breaks the streak with its colorful Rainbow Secret Rare. It's one of the best Pokemon in Sun&Moon's sets, with several appearances in the Alolan–themed cards.

6 Marshadow & Machamp GX (Full Art) – $72.49

Two Fighters Taking A Break

Marshadow and Machamp don't exactly ooze peaceful energy, but that's exactly what you get from them in this unexpected Full Art scene. Marshadow sits atop Machamp as the pair gazes out into the sunset, painting an unusually calm picture.

While this card tumbled from about $95 to $65, it's beginning to show signs of demand at its new price point. Whether you're a fan of the Pokemon or not, this art is striking and is one of those cards worth adding to your collection.

5 Red’s Challenge (Full Art) – $75.50

The Strongest Rise To The Top

Red reigns as arguably the strongest trainer in the entire Pokemon franchise, as this silent character lets his skills in battle do the talking. Red is often portrayed in tense battle poses and this art continues to give us more of what we expect from our favorite silent protagonist.

Red has seen a jump in price since crossing the $60 mark, and his recognizability should continue to support his price in the future. However, the Pokemon market is unpredictable, so there's not guarantee Red's reign will continue.

4 Green’s Exploration (Full Art) – $81.13

Adventuring Across Alola

Green is the oft-forgotten third member of the original trainer trio: Red, Green, and Blue. While Green's character became Leaf when Pokemon came to the West, Green was the protagonist of the original Pokemon game in Japan of the same name.

While her character doesn't get the same amount of attention as some of the most valuable full-art trainer cards, Green's appearance here is an appreciated nod to her impact on Pokemon history and a testament to her popularity among the most dedicated TCG collectors.

3 Greninja & Zoroark GX (Alternate Full Art) – $98.51

A Sleepy Forest Scene

Greninja's popularity alone is enough to carry this card, but Zoroark is a fantastic pairing, as these two Pokemon flourish in shadow, as portrayed by the art. The subtle use of shadow to convey Zoroark and Greninja's penchant for dishing out Dark-type attacks is a great touch.

This card has bounced up and down from the low to high 90s, but it holds fairly steady at that range. If you're looking for a card that you can enjoy without worrying about its value decreasing, this Greninja & Zoroark is one of the best Unbroken Bonds cards to collect.

2 Reshiram & Charizard GX (Secret) – $124.99

The Rainbow Return Of Roaring Dragons

Their long-awaited return is finally here, with these fellow Fire-types getting the Rainbow Secret Rare treatment, trading their monochromatic background for a polychromatic palette. The shimmering colors give these two Pokemon a brilliant re-color, as their simple primary palettes are perfect canvases for the rainbow.

Charizard will find itself among the most valuable cards from Team Rocket to Champion's Path, so it's never a surprise to see Charizard near the top of any list. While this card crosses triple digits, there's one card that soars even higher.

1 Gardevoir & Sylveon GX (Alternate Full Art) – $192.41

A Sweet Moment Of Serenity

These two sweet Fairy-type Pokemon prevail over the Dragon duo – Reshiram & Charizard, boasting easily the most adorable artwork in Unbroken Bonds. Gardevoir & Sylveon already boast a beautiful Rainbow Secret Rare, but this alternate art captures a tender moment unlike any others we've seen.

However, it's been a tumultuous road at the top of the most valuable cards in Unbroken Bonds, as this card dipped from $230 to just north of $170 before floating back up toward the $200 mark. Whatever the future holds, it's unlikely that Gardevoir & Sylveon will fall from their perch anytime soon.
