The LEGEND era of the Japanese Pokémon TCG covers 2009 to 2010 and holds 17 sets and 569 cards, of which 5 are main expansions. It is recognisable by its LEGEND cards, two-part Pokémon cards that are printed as a pair and carry the Rare Holo LEGEND rarity. The era opens with HeartGold Collection in 2009 and closes with Clash at the Summit in 2010, and the sets that are not main expansions are decks, promos and other products.
Among the LEGEND era's main sets, value is concentrated in a short list. Lost Link and Revival Legends, both from 2010, share the lead at 27 percent each, and Clash at the Summit follows at 17 percent, also from 2010. Together those three account for most of the era's main-set value, which makes them the highest-value sets of the Japanese LEGEND era, while the remaining main expansions split what is left.

Ranked by master set value among the era’s main sets.
The most valuable cards in the Japanese LEGEND era do not all come from the main sets. Kyogre from Legends Promos ranks first as a holo, followed by Mew, a Super Rare Holo from Lost Link, and Snorlax, a Holo Rare from the same set. Professor Elm's Training Method, another holo from Legends Promos, ranks 4th. By rarity, 10 of the era's 25 most valuable cards are Rare Holo LEGEND cards and 9 are Commons, with 2 Holo Rares and 1 Super Rare Holo making up the rest.
The Japanese LEGEND era sits between Platinum, which covers 2008 to 2009 across 22 sets, and Black & White, which runs from 2010 to 2013 across 38 sets. Among the 15 eras ranked for the Japanese Pokémon TCG, LEGEND places 12th by total value and holds 2 percent of the game's value, a small slice next to the longer eras around it.
