Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest Pokemon set to complete in 2026?

Among sets with at least 90% price coverage, Pokemon Lycanroc & Alolan Raichu is the cheapest to complete as of October 27, 2026, at about $13 in raw near-mint singles on Double Holo.

What does it cost to complete an average Pokemon set?

Across 143 sets with at least 90% price coverage, the median completion cost is $3,818 in raw near-mint singles, based on Double Holo market data as of October 27, 2026. Individual sets vary widely; see the table below for exact figures.

How were these numbers calculated?

Completion cost is the sum of Double Holo's current raw near-mint (NM) market prices for every individually priced single in a set. Sealed products are excluded, and only sets with at least 90% price coverage and at least 50 cataloged cards are used for the headline figures above, since a low-coverage sum would understate a set's real cost. Data refreshes hourly; see the Method section below for full detail, and the underlying numbers for every set at /pokemon-master-sets.

Does this include every card variant in a set?

No. Completion cost here covers the base numbered checklist only, not every reverse holo, promo, or other print variant. A true master set including those extra variants can cost more than the totals shown in this study.

Methodology

Completion cost is the sum of live Double Holo raw near-mint (NM) market prices for every priced single in a set; sealed products (boxes, packs, bundles) are excluded. Coverage is the share of a set's total card count that currently has a market price. Data refreshes hourly, and the headline findings above use only sets with at least 90% price coverage and at least 50 total cards, since a low-coverage sum would understate a set's real cost - a set below that threshold likely costs more to complete than shown. A true master set, one that includes reverse holos, promos, and other print variants beyond the base numbered checklist, can also cost more than the totals here. This study is reproducible: the same per-set data backs the full directory at /pokemon-master-sets.
