If you are familiar with the Pokémon Trading Card Game, you might eventually hit a point in your collecting journey where you truly have collected them all! So now you sit and think, how can my collecting journey continue? The answer: start collecting everything else!
The Pokémon Trainer cards are an amazing place to start, more specifically, the Supporters. There are so many different Full Art Pokémon cards these days; collecting all the Full Art Trainer cards has been a recent community favorite and continues to keep growing! Trust us when we tell you, not only are these cards absolutely stunning with their high attention to detail, but they also can pack a punch when it comes to price! I mean, just look at the two examples above from my personal collection: Shauna and Lana. They look amazing, and they aren't even that pricey!
Now, let's get into why you are really here. Together as a team at TCG Review, we went through the top ten most expensive Pokémon Full Art Trainer cards on Amazon so you don't have to!
Starting us off in our number ten spot is Miriam from Scarlet & Violet Base Set. If you are a fan of Miriam, then you are in the right place because so are we! Not only have we personally pulled this card at TCG Review, but the card is absolutely beautiful and stands out with its own unique art style compared to the other cards on this list. It's also still affordable and a staple in some competitive decks. The current price point for Miriam on Amazon right now is $32.49, and at that price, you can't pass it up. She is absolutely a wonderful card to own!
Not only does this Miriam look amazing, but she also has quite a strong ability that allows you to shuffle up to 5 Pokémon from your discard pile into your deck. If you shuffled any cards into your deck this way, draw three cards.
Coming in at number nine is a card from a slightly older set, Teammates from XY Primal Clash. This Full Art Trainer card is not as well-known as others, but still features stunning artwork. The full art version of this card was done by the artist Hitoshi Ariga, who has created artwork over the years of some really fantastic stuff like Mega Beedrill and Alolan Muk, and that doesn't even touch the surface. When it comes to Full Art Trainer cards, though, Teammates is an awesome card to own and sits at the current price point of $49.98 on Amazon, which still, in my opinion, puts it in the range of being slightly affordable.
The Teammates card allows you to do some fun stuff! You can play this card only if one of your Pokémon was Knocked Out during your opponent's last turn. Search your deck for up to two cards and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.
We have reached number eight, and the card that takes the spot is Kahili from Lost Thunder. If you have played the Pokémon Sun & Moon games, you know who Kahili is, or should we say, a member of the Elite Four. Not only is Kahili strong in the game, but her presence in the trading card game is elite as well! With her current price point going for $60.00 on Amazon, Kahili is not someone you want to mess with unless you are a collector! This card is just awesome; the artwork of her swinging her golf club, knowing she was a professional golfer, is done perfectly, and it's a must-have for anyone collecting Pokémon Full Art Trainer cards.
Kahili doesn't have any of her Pokémon with her on the trading card, but that doesn't matter; she makes up for it with a unique ability. Kahili allows you to draw two cards. Then, flip a coin. If heads, if you played this Kahili from your hand, put this card into your hand instead of the discard pile. If you have no cards in your deck, you can't play this card.
The number seven spot goes to none other than Lillie from Scarlet & Violet Base set. If you love Lillie as much as we do, you'll know any version of this card is amazing to have in your personal collection. Lillie's price tends to jump all over the place, but this version currently goes for $61.70 on Amazon, making it only $1 more than Kahili, who took number eight on our list. Lillie has multiple different versions in full art, but for this price, how can you pass it up? In our opinion, this is a great budget option for Lillie, as her most expensive copy in PSA 10 just sold for $189.50, which is why knowing how to grade Pokémon cards is an awesome advantage it can really boost your cards value.
Lillie has a really cool effect that lets you draw cards until you have six cards in your hand. If it's your first turn, draw cards until you have eight cards in your hand."
Now, the number six spot is well-deserved and goes to Skyla from XY Breakpoint. This is another card we have personally pulled at TCG Review, and just like Lillie, it has multiple different versions. Finding this card on Amazon was pretty awesome, and with a current price point of $63.45, the price is slowly creeping up on us, which makes it another wonderful card for any collection. If you want a Gym Leader that focuses on Flying-type Pokémon, then this is definitely the card for you!
Skyla's ability allows you to search your deck for a Trainer card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Reaching number five and right on time is Acerola from Burning Shadows. This is just another absolutely beautiful Full Art Trainer Pokémon card. If you love Ghost-type Pokémon and have an urge to collect another member of the Elite Four, the Acerola Full Art Trainer card is for you! This card currently sits at $69.94 on Amazon and is the last card in the $60 range that you can get.
Acerola allows you to put one of your Pokémon that has any damage counters on it and all cards attached to it into your hand.
Wait a minute, haven't we seen this card before? Coming in at number four is Lana from Ultra Prism. You may be thinking to yourself, 'Did I see this card at the beginning of the article?' and you would be right. That was my personal Lana, and I could not be happier that it is on the list! I was an avid collector of Ultra Prism cards and was able to pick up a Lana, and let me tell you, the card is just perfect in person and really shines in my collection. When it comes to Pokémon Full Art Trainer cards, this is just a must, and yes, I am somewhat biased! Nonetheless, this card currently sits on Amazon for $79.95, which starts to get quite pricey, so as much as I like this card, make sure it's something you would enjoy just as much.
Lana's ability allows you to heal 50 damage from each of your Pokémon that has a Water Energy attached to it. Which is why understanding Pokémon energy cards is really important.
Scrolling really fast, looking for the top three, well, you have found it. Coming in for our number three spot is Zinnia from Dragon Majesty. When talking about Pokémon Full Art Trainer cards, Zinnia not only holds value but also holds some pretty awesome lore. Zinnia specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon and uses a Salamence that she can Mega Evolve into a Mega Salamence, which is insanely cool. Having Zinnia as a Full Art Trainer card is just as awesome, but it comes with a price tag. She currently sits at $99.99 on Amazon.
Zinnia is a cool card but has some requirements before you can use her ability. First, you can play this card only if one of your Pokémon was Knocked Out during your opponent's last turn. Attach up to two basic Energy cards from your hand to one of your Dragon Pokémon.
The number two spot, and we know this is a personal favorite for many competitive players and collectors alike, is Iono from Paldea Evolved. If you didn't know, this is the most expensive card in the Paldea Evolved set list, and trust us when we say this: you really can't go wrong purchasing this card for your collection. I have always wanted to obtain one of these cards, but like many of us, I prefer opening the cards naturally from Pokémon booster boxes, and Iono is definitely the Full Art Trainer card you want to pull! The card features Iono in a mukbang situation, and the artwork is just breathtaking. You don't see Trainers like this that often, making it a grail when it comes to Pokémon Full Art Trainer Cards. This card currently sits on Amazon at $112.91 and most likely will continue to rise!
Like I said earlier, not only is the artwork phenomenal, but the card itself is very strong. Iono's card ability is very powerful: Each player shuffles their hand and puts it on the bottom of their deck. If either player puts any cards on the bottom of their deck in this way, each player draws a card for each of their remaining Prize Cards.
Searching far and wide and looking all across Amazon, we found the most expensive Full Art Trainer Pokémon card you can get. The number one spot on this list goes to Iris from Plasma Blast. When we saw this card, we were genuinely surprised. We knew Iris was a Gym Leader who specialized in Dragon-type Pokémon just like Zinnia, but we did not know this version of her existed as a Full Art Trainer Card, and that is always extremely exciting! This card currently goes for $149.95 on Amazon, taking the spot as number one. The artwork on this card is fabulous and really is refreshing to look at. She also is the most expensive card in the entire Plasma Blast card list, with the only thing coming close being one of the gold Pokémon cards, Rare Candy.
There are so many different cards to collect when it comes to Pokémon. As sets continue to release and more Full Art Trainer Cards continue to get added, I will be right there with all of you collecting them. I am excited for the future and excited to see which characters get a Full Art variant next!
