How Much Is My Rayquaza Worth?

From the legendary EX-era Gold Star to modern alternate arts, Rayquaza spans a huge range. Here is how to identify yours and what it is worth.

Typical range:$3 - $15,000+

Rayquaza cards span a broad value range. A common modern Rayquaza might be worth a few dollars, while the EX Deoxys Gold Star Rayquaza in PSA 10 has sold for well over $15,000.

Value depends on the specific card - the set, whether it is a Gold Star or alternate art, its condition, and whether it is graded. Rayquaza is unusual in that several modern alt arts are also genuinely valuable.

What Determines the Value

1

Specific card

The EX Deoxys Gold Star Rayquaza is the crown jewel; modern alt arts like Evolving Skies are also sought-after.

2

Rarity type

Gold Stars, alternate arts, and special illustration rares carry the most value.

3

Condition

Centering, corners, edges, and a clean holo surface drive raw value.

4

Grade

A graded PSA 10 can be worth many multiples of the same card raw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Rayquaza card is the most valuable?

The 2005 EX Deoxys Gold Star Rayquaza is the most valuable, with PSA 10 copies selling for well into five figures. Among modern cards, the Evolving Skies alternate-art Rayquaza VMAX is the standout.

How do I know if I have a Gold Star Rayquaza?

Gold Star cards have a small gold star symbol printed next to the Pokemon name. If your Rayquaza has that star and is from the EX Deoxys set, it is the highly valuable Gold Star version.

Should I grade my Rayquaza before selling?

For a Gold Star or sought-after alt art in gem-mint condition, grading can significantly increase value. For standard modern Rayquaza cards, selling raw is usually faster and just as profitable.
