Gastly 177/162
The ghost crowd that tops the set. Mousho fills the card with Gastly drifting through a lane at night, with a larger, grinning ghost close by on the right and a small cat Pokémon on the steps below. It is an Illustration Rare, not a Special Illustration Rare, and it still sells above every special illustration card in the set.
Only five raw sales were recorded, all on 16 October, so treat about £64 as a snapshot rather than a settled price. PSA 10 copies have a ledger median of £396, a little over six times a raw copy.
Raging Bolt ex 208/162
The loudest card in the top three. Teeziro draws Raging Bolt on an orange cliff top under a purple storm cloud, with lightning behind it and thick jungle plants in the foreground. It is a Special Illustration Rare, and about £45 across five sales puts it second.
Teeziro also illustrated Gouging Fire ex 204/162 and Walking Wake ex 205/162, so three of the top seven cards share one artist.
Morty's Conviction 211/162
A trainer card with Gengar looming behind it. Megumi Mizutani shows Morty resting his chin on his hand at a café table among autumn leaves, with a big Gengar grinning over his shoulder. Seven raw sales ran from £37 to £45, the tightest spread in the top three.
Its PSA 10 median is £240, about five and a half times a raw copy.
Gengar ex 193/162, the grading outlier
Raw, Gengar ex 193/162 sells for £33 to £40. A PSA 10 has a ledger median of £263, about seven times a raw copy. That is the biggest raw-to-PSA 10 gap of any card on this list. Gastly and Deerling also sit above six times.
That gap tells you where the value sits: a clean, well-centred Gengar is worth far more than an average one. It does not tell you that grading one will pay. Fees, postage both ways and the chance of a 9 rather than a 10 all come off the top. Our UK grading guide walks through those costs.
Further down the list
- Gouging Fire ex 204/162 by Teeziro sells for about £37 raw across five sales, level with Iron Crown ex.
- Iron Crown ex 206/162 by nagimiso is also about £37 raw, with a PSA 10 median of £131.
- Walking Wake ex 205/162 by Teeziro has the widest raw spread in the table, £20 to £41, across eight sales.
- Sawsbuck 166/162 and Deerling 165/162, both by Susumu Maeya, sell for £24 to £34 and £22 to £27 raw.
- Litten 167/162 by Makura Tami sells for about £28 raw, with a PSA 10 median of £132.
How we priced these cards
We read the most recent raw eBay completed sales for each card, up to ten, from CardTrack's sold-sales ledger, which covers the UK, US and other eBay sites. With six or more sales we drop the single highest and lowest, then quote the range of the rest. With four or five sales we give the middle figure and say how many sales it rests on. Dollars are converted at £0.7499 (16 October 2026).
PSA 10 figures are the median of PSA 10 completed sales, shown only where at least 500 copies hold that grade. The population figures are PSA's own counts as recorded in the ledger. The full method is in our guide on how to value Pokémon cards.
A note on pull rates
We do not publish pull rates for Temporal Forces. There are no official odds, and community estimates vary with sample size and product. Our guide to pull rates explains why.
Collector notes
- Teeziro drew three of the top seven. Raging Bolt ex, Gouging Fire ex and Walking Wake ex all carry the same illustrator credit.
- Gengar turns up twice. It is the whole card on Gengar ex 193/162 and looms behind Morty on 211/162, so a Gengar collector has two cards to look for.
- Five-sale prices are softer. Gastly, Raging Bolt ex, Gouging Fire ex, Iron Crown ex and Litten each rest on five sales, so compare a few current listings before you pay.
- Check the reverse holo isn't being sold as something more. Main-set cards have reverse holo versions that share the standard card's number. Our guide to holo and reverse holo cards shows the difference.
