Crobat's most valuable card is a 2003 Skyridge holo rare worth $549.99, and its runner-up is one of that same set's six Crystal-type secret rares. No other Crobat printing across more than two decades of sets clears a third of that price.
The most valuable Crobat card is the Skyridge Holo Rare numbered H05/H32. It carried a TCGplayer market price of $549.99 as of September 26, 2026, well ahead of every other Crobat printing across more than two decades of sets.
Crobat's runner-up comes from the same set. Skyridge also printed Crobat as card 147/144, one of six Crystal-type secret rares tucked in right after the set's main 144-card body, and that print held a $447.50 market price on the same read.
No other Crobat card clears even a third of that ceiling, though two Team Rocket-era Dark Crobat prints come closest. This guide ranks the ten most valuable Crobat cards by TCGplayer market price, all read on September 26, 2026, and explains why one 2003 set still sets the bar. Those ten cards span eight sets, from 2001's Neo Revelation through 2025's Destined Rivals.
TCGplayer market price $549.99 as of September 26, 2026, the highest of any Crobat printing.
The ten most valuable Crobat cards
Every price below is a raw-card TCGplayer market price read from TCGplayer's own product and price tables on September 26, 2026. Each card appears once, at its highest-priced TCGplayer variant, and the table names that variant. Oversized jumbo box-topper cards are left out of the ranking and covered separately below.

Three of the top six spots belong to one set. Skyridge is a 2003 Wizards of the Coast release, and it still outprices every other Crobat card printed in the twenty-plus years since, while a pair of Team Rocket-era Dark Crobat cards from 2002 and 2004 take third and fourth.
Several cards have a second variant worth noting. Skyridge's 147/144 also has a Reverse Holofoil at $350.00, which on its own would outprice every card ranked third through tenth. Neo Destiny's Dark Crobat Unlimited Holofoil sat at $158.64, and Neo Revelation's Unlimited Holofoil Crobat at $47.34.
That table also shows how thin trading can get on an older niche card. Skyridge's 006/144 Normal print carried a $50.23 market price on the same read, yet TCGplayer's own low price for that print was $69.99, above the market figure itself. A market price sitting below the current low listing can mean the guide price reflects older sales that the asks now on the board have moved away from.
TCGplayer also lists an oversized Crobat jumbo box topper, numbered 10/12 in its Jumbo Cards group, at a $119.00 Reverse Holofoil market price on the same read. It is not a standard-size card, so it sits outside the ranking above.
Why Skyridge holds Crobat's ceiling
Skyridge released in English on May 12, 2003, the final Wizards of the Coast era Pokemon set (Wikipedia, accessed September 26, 2026). It printed Crobat more than once, and its two most valuable Crobat cards work completely differently.
Card H05/H32 sits in the set's separately numbered holo rare run, which is numbered out of 32; Skyridge also printed a non-holo Crobat, card 006/144, in its main body. Card 147/144 is something rarer: TCGplayer's own rarity field lists it as a Secret Rare, one of six Crystal-type cards numbered 145 through 150 that print after Skyridge's main 144-card body closes out.
Top 5 Crobat cards by TCGplayer market price
Skyridge H05/H32549.99USD
Skyridge 147/144447.5USD
Neo Destiny Dark Crobat (1st Ed)175.91USD
Team Rocket Returns Dark Crobat (RH)175.58USD
Neo Revelation Crobat (1st Ed)132.47USD
TCGplayer market price, read September 26, 2026. Each card at its highest-priced variant.
Card 147/144 outprices Skyridge's non-holo Crobat, card 006/144, by roughly nine times on the Normal print and almost three times Reverse Holofoil to Reverse Holofoil. No Crobat printed after Skyridge cleared $200 on this read, though the 2004 Dark Crobat gets within about $272 of Skyridge's second-place card.
Dark Crobat: the Team Rocket-era prints
Crobat's third- and fourth-place cards are not Crobat cards by name. They are Dark Crobat, a Team Rocket-themed version of the same Pokemon, and our own card catalog files both Dark Crobat prints under Crobat's species entry alongside every other card in this guide.
Dark Crobat 002/105 from 2002's Neo Destiny priced its 1st Edition Holofoil at $175.91 and its Unlimited Holofoil at $158.64 as of September 26, 2026, a gap of roughly 11%. A second Dark Crobat, card 3/109 from 2004's EX Team Rocket Returns, priced its Reverse Holofoil at $175.58 and its plain Holofoil at just $32.97 on the same read, a more than 5x gap between finishes on the identical card.
1st Edition Holofoil $175.91 versus Unlimited Holofoil $158.64, TCGplayer market price as of September 26, 2026.
1st Edition vs Unlimited Crobat
Neo Revelation gives a clean look at what an edition stamp alone is worth. Its Crobat, card 04/64, is the same artwork and the same Holo Rare tier in both printings.
The 1st Edition Holofoil carried a TCGplayer market price of $132.47 as of September 26, 2026. The Unlimited Holofoil of the identical card sat at $47.34 on the same read, roughly a third of the 1st Edition figure.
1st Edition Holofoil $132.47 versus Unlimited Holofoil $47.34, TCGplayer market price as of September 26, 2026.
That roughly 2.8x multiple is specific to this one Neo Revelation printing. It is not a hobby-wide edition-stamp rule: Neo Destiny's Dark Crobat, one set later, shows only an 11% gap between its own 1st Edition and Unlimited Holofoil.
Where the ex, Prime, and delta prints land
Four cards in the top ten carry an ex, Prime or Delta Species label, and all four landed in the bottom four spots of the ranking.
Crobat ex, EX Deoxys 96/107: TCGplayer classifies this Ultra Rare at a market price of $100.89, seventh in this guide.
Crobat Prime, Unleashed 84/95: also an Ultra Rare by TCGplayer's rarity field, priced at $65.35.
Crobat delta, EX Delta Species 2/113: a Holo Rare whose Reverse Holofoil ($64.36) actually outpriced its own Holofoil ($27.76) on this read.
Team Rocket's Crobat ex, Destined Rivals 234/182: the one modern card in the top ten, a Special Illustration Rare priced at $59.96.
None of those four labels pushed Crobat anywhere near Skyridge's two prints on this read.
EX, DP and HGSS rares outside the top ten
Outside the top ten, plain Rare and Holo Rare prints from EX, Diamond & Pearl and HeartGold & SoulSilver era sets sit far lower, none of them carrying ex, Prime, Delta Species, or secret-rare status.
EX Hidden Legends' Crobat, card 3/101, priced at $25.05 Holofoil. Unleashed's standard (non-Prime) Crobat, card 14/95, came in at $15.49 Reverse Holofoil. Mysterious Treasures' Crobat, card 23/123, sat at $11.89 Reverse Holofoil, all as of September 26, 2026.
The Skyridge H05/H32 is worth roughly 46 times that Mysterious Treasures reverse holo. None of those three cards carry a named rarity mechanic, a first-edition stamp, or secret-rare numbering.
What this guide does not price
Every figure above is a raw, ungraded TCGplayer market price. PSA and CGC's population-report pages could not be read from a Tier-1 source this session, so no PSA 9, PSA 10, or other graded figure appears anywhere in this guide, and graded Crobat prices can move independently of the raw numbers above.
This guide also does not include an auction-house realized-sale price for any Crobat card. No Heritage or PWCC comparable was verified this session, so nothing here should be read as a completed-sale figure; every number is TCGplayer's own listed market price, not a sale.
The Skyridge Holo Rare Crobat, numbered H05/H32, carried a TCGplayer market price of $549.99 as of September 26, 2026. That is the highest price of any English Crobat printing on that read.
Why does Skyridge hold Crobat's two most valuable cards?
Skyridge printed Crobat more than once. Its top Crobat is card H05/H32 from the set's separately numbered holo rare run, and its second is card 147/144, one of six Crystal-type secret rares numbered 145 through 150 after the set's main 144-card body. TCGplayer's own rarity field lists 147/144 as a Secret Rare, and both prints sit above every later Crobat card on a September 26, 2026 market-price read, though two Team Rocket-era Dark Crobat prints come within roughly $272 of the second-place Skyridge card.
Are any Dark Crobat cards among Crobat's most valuable prints?
Yes. Dark Crobat, card 002/105 from 2002's Neo Destiny, carried a TCGplayer market price of $175.91 for its 1st Edition Holofoil and $158.64 for its Unlimited Holofoil as of September 26, 2026. A second Dark Crobat, card 3/109 from 2004's EX Team Rocket Returns, priced its Reverse Holofoil at $175.58 on the same read. They rank third and fourth in this guide, well behind Skyridge's two prints but ahead of every other Crobat card checked.
Is the 1st Edition Neo Revelation Crobat worth more than the Unlimited print?
Yes. The 1st Edition Holofoil carried a TCGplayer market price of $132.47 as of September 26, 2026, against $47.34 for the Unlimited Holofoil of the same card. That is roughly a 2.8x gap between two prints that differ only in edition stamp.
Has Crobat ever appeared on a modern Special Illustration Rare or alt art card?
Yes. Destined Rivals (2025) printed Team Rocket's Crobat ex as a Special Illustration Rare, card 234/182, with a TCGplayer market price of $59.96 as of September 26, 2026. That ranks tenth in this guide and far below both Skyridge prints, so Crobat's price ceiling still comes from a 2003 Wizards of the Coast set.
Does this guide cover graded Crobat card prices?
No. Every figure here is a raw-card TCGplayer market price. PSA and CGC's population-report pages could not be read from a Tier-1 source this session, so no PSA 9, PSA 10, or other graded price appears anywhere in this guide.
