5. Radiant Charizard

Listed Median Price: $19.99

Type: Pokemon, Fire
HP: 160
Weakness: Water x2
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x3
Rarity: Radiant Rare

Moveset:
Ability
Excited Heart

Combustion Blast
Damage: 250
Energy Cost: Fire Energy x1, Normal Energy x4
Description: During your next turn, this Pokemon can't use Combustion Blast.

The top 5 in the list of the most expensive Pokemon card in Crown Zenith is the reprinted Radiant Charizard illustrated by Kouki Saitou. A card that is usually used to turn the opponent's momentum against themselves, this reprint gives us hope that there will be more users that will utilize this card in the Standard Deck meta. It has the Excited Heart Ability that lets Radiant Charizard's attack cost lessen to at least 1 Fire energy card with a 250 damage output as it uses Combustion Blast.  Another factor that actually makes this card expensive? Is that it's because it's a Charizard card. A lot of people know who this orange giant lizard is and has come to be one of the easily and most recognizable Pokemon throughout the years since it is part of the first generation of Pokemon to be introduced to the world. As most of you know, the most expensive Pokemon card ever is the Shadowless Charizard card in mint Gem 10 condition and is priced at a whopping $420,000. That took time, hard work in keeping it mint, and effort from the community to make it as expensive as it is. Perhaps time would come when this card would even reach the same as that card, who knows?

4. Friends in Hisui (Full Art)

Listed Median Price: $20.49

Type: Trainer Card, Supporter
Rarity: Ultra Rare

The top 4 in the list of Crown Zenith's expensive Pokemon cards is the Full Art version of the Friends in Hisui Supporter card. The card from Pokemon TCG's latest expansion features the characters from Pokemon Legends: Arceus Rei, Akari, Adaman, and Irida. Since this card's design is Full Art and its rarity at Ultra Rare, the pricing that it is at is quite reasonable. Some players in the TCG scene as well as collectors would like to have these cards as part of their deck or collection for the style and flexing towards their opponents, of course. This card is a hot commodity for players as it lets you draw 3 cards from your deck but there are other better alternatives for this card with the similar effect or even better. Nonetheless, this card remains to be a great addition to any deck for as a card drawing engine. Illustration by Kinu Nishimura.

A Full Art and Ultra Rare card that is illustrated by Megumi Mizutani, this card lets you choose up to 2 of your Fusion Strike Pokemon and attach a Fusion Strike energy card to those selected Pokemon.

1. Pikachu (Secret)

Listed Median Price: $47.37

Type: Pokemon, Electric
HP: 70
Weakness: Fighting x2
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: Normal Energy x1
Rarity: Secret Rare

Moveset:

The top 1 most expensive Pokemon TCG  card in the latest expansion, Crown Zenith, features the ever-lovable Pokemon, Pikachu. The Pokemon Company's golden boy and mascot has a Secret Rare card that costs at an average of almost $50.00! While the card itself is not really impressive in terms of battling for the Pokemon TCG scene, its rarity makes it a lot expensive but what makes this card really one of a kind is that it's actually textured. There is a very slim chance that you can pull this card from the booster packs and with only a few of these made. Just checking the current price of the card on eBay, the card is already priced at $140.00. Since this Pikachu card is a very rare commodity, we are foreseeing that the price of this card will only soar higher as time goes by. Similar to the Shadowless Charizard card that reached $420,000, this card has the potential given that Pikachu will be given some time off the Pokemon Series and would make this card more in-demand. That is absolutely insane.

As much as we love to get our hands on these cards, only time will tell – and a lot of booster pack pulls, that is for sure. There are a lot more Pokemon cards in the Crown Zenith expansion that are also expensive like the Arceus VSTAR, Palkia VSTAR, and Dialga VSTAR that all look very legendary in their own sense but these cards are currently what's hot in the TCG scene as TCGPlayer.com shares.

Whether you are pulling cards for your collection or maybe for competing in the Pokemon Trading Card Game scene, make sure to look out for the most expensive Pokemon cards in the Crown Zenith expansion, Pokemon TCG's latest expansion before the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet expansion set to happen on March 31, 2023.
