Within the world of Pokemon TCG, a few Pokemon have risen to the top as fan favorites. With every new set, collectors eagerly chase Mewtwo, Charizard, Lugia, and special versions of Pikachu. In part thanks to the role that it played in the anime, Lucario has also built a strong fan base, resulting in its cards becoming exceptionally valuable.

Pokemon TCG collectors who have Lucario cards lying around might want to have them valued, as they could be worth a small fortune. Although they aren’t as pricey as some of the rarest Mewtwo or Charizard cards, they can still fetch a heap of cash online. However, because the cards are so gorgeous, most collectors probably won’t be willing to part with them.
