Crown Zenith: chase cards, pull rates and most valuable cards

The chase cards of the Pokémon TCG Crown Zenith expansion and its 70-card Galarian Gallery, what each rarity tier means, sold prices as of November 14, 2026, and what three community pack counts found.

Crown Zenith's most valuable cards are its Galarian Gallery VSTARs: as of November 14, 2026, the gold Giratina VSTAR GG69 leads at $253.92 ungraded and $493.97 in PSA 10, ahead of Mewtwo VSTAR GG44. Crown Zenith is a Sword & Shield Series expansion released on January 20, 2023. It has two numbered runs: a 159-card main set plus a secret Pikachu numbered 160/159, and the 70-card Galarian Gallery subset, GG01 to GG70, for 230 cards in all. This page shows the chase cards, explains each rarity tier, ranks the singles by sold prices and compares three published pull-rate counts. It is a reference, not buying advice.

The chase cards

The grid shows the ten singles with the highest ungraded prices as of November 14, 2026, all of them Galarian Gallery cards, plus the two Pikachu cards collectors look for: the main set's only Secret Rare, Pikachu 160/159, and the Gallery Pikachu GG30. The four gold VSTARs that close the Gallery, all illustrated by Akira Egawa, take four of the top five places; their artwork fits together when all four are laid side by side. Mewtwo VSTAR GG44, a full-color Gallery card, splits them at number two.

The rarity tiers

In the main set the hits land in the rare slot: Pokémon V, VMAX and VSTAR, the Full Art Trainers and the textured Energy. The three Radiant Rares and every Galarian Gallery card take the place of the reverse holo instead, which is why one pack can hold both a Gallery card and an Ultra Rare. The etched Lucario VSTAR from the Elite Trainer Boxes and the collection promos are not part of the 230-card set.

Most valuable cards

Ranked by ungraded price, the value of a raw copy as pulled from a pack, with the PSA 10 value beside it. Prices come from recent sold listings and change daily. All values as of November 14, 2026.

  • The Gallery owns the top of the list. Counting regular set versions only, the 15 highest-priced singles are all Galarian Gallery cards. The first main-set card is the Secret Rare Pikachu 160/159 in 16th place at $38.16.
  • Gold leads raw, not graded. Giratina VSTAR GG69 is first raw, but its PSA 10 value ($493.97) is less than twice the raw price. The full-art non-V Gallery Pokémon jump far more: Mew GG10 goes from $58.50 to $696.59 (about 11.9 times) and Pikachu GG30 from $37.12 to $507.71 (about 13.7 times).
  • Radiant Charizard is now a mid-priced card. The regular Radiant Charizard 020 is listed at $13.16 ungraded and $130.00 in PSA 10; the Prize Pack and Gym stamped printings are priced separately and higher. More Charizard cards are compared on Charizard cards.
  • What is left out. Sealed products, Elite Trainer Box and collection promos, and stamped versions such as Friends in Hisui [Top 8] #130 ($823.32 ungraded) are not ranked here.
  • Graded vs raw. Whether a PSA 10 price is worth chasing depends on the odds of getting one and on the fees; Is it worth grading? works through the method and PSA 9 vs PSA 10 uses Giratina GG69 as one of its worked examples.

Pull rates

The Pokémon Company does not publish pull rates. Three published counts name a sample size. TCGplayer's Authentication Center opened more than 1,900 booster packs before the January 20, 2023 release (Peter Day's article, updated November 9, 2026). Card Shop Live published hit rates from 1,000 packs of its own openings on an undated page. DigitalTQ's guide (November 7, 2023) tallied 615 packs from its own and third-party pulls and warns that its data may not be reliable. All figures are estimates per pack, not guarantees.

Chart drawn by Crazy Uncle's Card Notes from TCGplayer's Crown Zenith pull rates (more than 1,900 packs; article updated November 9, 2026) and Card Shop Live's hit rates (1,000 packs; its Galarian Gallery figure is the sum of its three Gallery rows).

What the counts say, and where they differ

  • About one pack in three has a Gallery card. TCGplayer has 35.20%, Card Shop Live's three Gallery rows add up to 30.1%. TCGplayer compares this with under 13% of packs carrying a Gallery card in Silver Tempest, Lost Origin and Astral Radiance, and puts the chance of a Gallery card and an Ultra or Secret Rare in the same pack at 7.48%.
  • Pikachu 160/159 varies by a factor of two. TCGplayer has 1 in 133 packs, Card Shop Live 15 in 1,000 (1 in 67) and DigitalTQ 6 in 615 (about 1 in 103). Counts of 6 or 15 pulls are too small to settle the rate.
  • Full Art Trainers differ by a factor of almost four. TCGplayer has 0.95%, Card Shop Live 3.50% for a row it calls “Ultra Rare Trainer” without saying which cards it includes.
  • Single cards. TCGplayer's per-card odds: a specific gold VSTAR such as Giratina GG69 about 1 in 600 packs, a specific Gallery Pokémon V or Supporter 1 in 291, a specific non-V Gallery Pokémon 1 in 167, a specific Radiant Rare 1 in 69.
  • Launch openings are too small. Kotaku's review on January 19, 2023 opened 19 packs supplied by The Pokémon Company and found an Ultra Rare or better in 18 of them and seven Galarian Gallery cards; the writer called the sample short of scientific.

Checklist before you rely on a number here

  • ☐ The price has a date: everything above is as of November 14, 2026, and prices move daily.
  • ☐ You are comparing like with like: ungraded with ungraded, PSA 10 with PSA 10, and the right number. Pikachu is 160/159 and GG30; Leafeon VSTAR is 014 in the main set and GG35 in the Gallery; Glaceon VSTAR is GG40, Glaceon V is 038.
  • ☐ The card is the regular set version, not a Prize Pack, Gym, Top 8 or Professor Program printing and not a box promo.
  • ☐ Pull rates are per-pack estimates from community counts, not official odds; the counts differ most on Pikachu 160/159 and the Full Art Trainers.
  • ☐ Other Leafeon and Glaceon cards are compared on Eeveelution cards, and Akira Egawa's gold VSTARs are listed on Pokémon card artists; before grading, check the card against the modern pre-grading checklist.
