Every Phantasmal Flames card in the moonstone catalog, in collector-number order. Market is the same TCGplayer figure each card page quotes; a dot means we hold no price for that card yet.

If you are building it

You can own 129 of the 139 priced cards in Phantasmal Flames for about $93. The median card is $0.18. The remaining $1,043 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Mega Charizard X ex - 125/094, $681) is 60% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 8% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

PRICIER THAN THE BOX

The single most valuable card in this set costs $320.25 more than one sealed booster box of it. Box price TCGplayer, as of 2026-09-25.

Two recorded prices. The odds of pulling the card are the rip simulation below, not this line.

Computed from this set's own recorded value series; windows are stated and nothing is modeled. Medians anchor the return windows so a single outlier day never makes the figure.

Odds are measured rates from TCGplayer Infinite pull-rate study (5,000+ packs); The Pokémon Company publishes no official odds. The chase math assumes every card in a tier is equally likely within its slot, and prices the packs at the tracked booster-box price. It is arithmetic, not a promise.

We simulated 10,000 booster boxes of Phantasmal Flames using today's real market price for every card in the set, the real box price ($365, $10.15/pack), and the published per-pack pull rates for this set. Most simulated boxes came out worth less than they cost. The contents are worth 47.2% of the box ask on average.

Simulation, clearly labeled as one. Card prices and the $365 box price (Phantasmal Flames Booster Box, 36 packs) are live recorded data. Per-pack odds are published measurements: all 5 rates were measured on this set's own packs (tcgplayer.com, 5,000+ packs). The simulation assumes every card in the tier is equally likely, which flatters any tier holding one expensive card: valuing each tier at its median card instead of its mean moves the expected value by 46.1% on this set. Commons, uncommons and reverse holos are worth $58 of the box before any hit. Unpriced cards count $0 (129 of 130 pooled cards are priced). Selling costs, fees and shipping are NOT deducted, so real-world outcomes skew worse than shown. Re-simulated every 2 days. Not financial advice.
