Twilight Masquerade: the most expensive Pokémon cards

Versione italiana: leggila qui.

Twilight Masquerade came out on 24 May 2024 and it is the set of Ogerpon's four masks. Two years on, though, the card everybody wants is none of the four.

It is Greninja ex (#214), the Special Illustration Rare worth 250.63 €, nearly five times the second card in the set. The same creature in its base print (#106) costs 0.59 €: 425 times less.

We ran every card in the set through the DarkDex pricing engine and sorted by value. These are real single-card prices, Near Mint, the lowest available across sellers, updated on 21 August 2026. Graded copies are excluded: a slabbed card follows a separate market.

In short. Twilight Masquerade has one card that really carries weight: Greninja ex (#214) at 250.63 €, on its own 37% of the set's value. Behind it, Perrin (#220) at 51.63 € and an illustrated Eevee (#188) at 45.53 €. Completing the set costs around 677 €. Prices as of 21 August 2026.

The ranking: the 15 most expensive cards

This is the full ranking down to 9 euros: every card in the set worth more than that.

Fifteen rows, and the set thins out fast: only the first five cards are at 25 euros or above, and from the sixteenth down nothing clears 9 €, where a most-expensive ranking stops answering the question.

These are the cards people buy boxes for. Add them to your collection on DarkDex and track their value day by day, without redoing the maths every time the market moves.

Which is the rarest card in Twilight Masquerade?

The rarest card in Twilight Masquerade is Luminous Energy (#226), the last numbered card in the set, a gold Hyper Rare. It is worth 4.61 €.

The most expensive is Greninja ex Special Illustration Rare (#214) at 250.63 €, fifty-four times as much. Declared rarity tells you how hard a card is to find, not what it is worth: the price is decided by how many people want it.

Pull rates are not published, so there is no official answer, and price remains the only measurable indicator.

The chase cards of Twilight Masquerade

There are three chase cards, and the distance between the first and the rest is enormous:

1. Greninja ex (#214), Special Illustration Rare: 250.63 €
2. Perrin (#220), Special Illustration Rare: 51.63 €
3. Eevee (#188), Illustration Rare: 45.53 €

Third place is the surprise: an Eevee, useless in play, illustrated asleep in a meadow. It is not a Special Illustration Rare, just a plain Illustration Rare, and it beats every Ogerpon in the set.

Add them to your collection on DarkDex and follow the value day by day.

Ogerpon's four masks, four nearly identical prices

Ogerpon is the mascot of the set and has four forms, one per mask. Their Special Illustration Rares are all in the ranking, and they all sit very close together:

• Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex (#213): 13.91 €
• Teal Mask Ogerpon ex (#211): 13.07 €
• Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex (#215): 9.65 €
• Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex (#212): 9.07 €

Between the priciest and the cheapest there are less than five euros. It is a rare and instructive case: when four cards share the same print run, the same rarity and the same narrative weight, the market prices them the same. Value is created by difference, not by a quantity of nice artwork.

It is also why Greninja ex is worth twenty times an Ogerpon: it is not in the set because it had to be, it is in the set as a guest, and it is the only Pokémon on the list that an entire generation was already looking for.

The characters of Kitakami

Twilight Masquerade has a block of trainer cards that hold up well: Perrin (#220) at 51.63 €, Carmine (#217) at 30.33 €, Kieran (#218) at 14.21 € and Lana's Aid (#219) at 12.21 €. Four character Special Illustration Rares, all in the top half of the ranking.

Illustrated trainer cards have a structural advantage: they do not depend on competitive rotation. When a Pokémon stops seeing tournament play its price falls, whereas someone buying a character buys it for the artwork and does not resell.

How much it costs to complete Twilight Masquerade

Buying every card in the set at the lowest Near Mint listing, one by one, takes around 677 €. The distribution is the usual one, and it is the part that surprises:

• the top three cards cost 348 €, which is 51% of the total
• the top ten reach 473 €, or 70%
• the median card is 0.11 €: half the set costs about as much as a stick of gum
• 169 cards out of 226, 75% of the set, sit below one euro

Translated: without the top ten cards the set costs a little over 200 €.

Worth saying that this is a theoretical floor: minimums from different sellers, shipping excluded, counting only the 226 cards that have at least one listing.

Where Twilight Masquerade sits in the Scarlet and Violet block

We ran eight sets of the Scarlet and Violet block through the pricing engine, so the comparison can be made on numbers rather than impressions:

The "cards" column counts the cards in the set with at least one Near Mint listing, not the number printed on the back of the pack.

Twilight Masquerade sits in the middle band: about the same as Paldea Evolved, a quarter of Destined Rivals. The difference against the more recent sets is that here sealed product has already dried up, and that changes the maths more than any ranking.

Singles or packs?

On Twilight Masquerade the answer is sharper than elsewhere, and it comes down to two numbers: the Elite Trainer Box costs 55 €, the Booster Box costs 229.71 €. A box from a 2024 set costs more than boxes of sets released last year, because they are not printing them any more and what is out there is the last of it.

That is the U curve of sealed product: expensive on preorder, cheapest in the weeks after release, expensive again once printing stops. Buying a Twilight Masquerade box today to open it means paying 229.71 € for something that cost half that two years ago, with a small chance of finding the 250 € Greninja inside. In singles, for the same money, you buy the Greninja and the Perrin and still have change.

Heads up. Card prices move constantly, and chase cards are the most volatile of all: the numbers in this article are a snapshot of the market on 21 August 2026.
