Entei is a Generation II Legendary Pokémon that does not evolve. With Raikou and Suicune it forms the Legendary beasts, three Pokémon that died when the Brass Tower in Ecruteak City burned and were revived by Ho-Oh; Entei is said to embody the flames that destroyed the tower, now known as the Burned Tower. Its ability, Pressure, makes opponents use extra PP, and its hidden ability is Inner Focus. It stands 2.1 meters tall and weighs 198 kilograms.
Entei's defining role is in the third movie, Spell of the Unown: Entei. The Unown create an illusory Entei from Molly Hale's wish for her missing father, and it plays that part for her, even kidnapping Ash's mother, Delia, to be her mother. Ash's Charizard holds it off, and once Molly chooses to return to reality, Entei helps Pikachu and Charizard defeat the out-of-control Unown and fades away after saying goodbye. A Shiny Entei also appears with the other beasts in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Entei's first English card is Wizards Black Star Promo #34 by Ken Sugimori, handed out with tickets to the theatrical release of Spell of the Unown: Entei and the first reverse holofoil card released outside Japan. Neo Revelation (2001) followed with a holo (#6) and a non-holo (#17), and the EX era brought Entei ex in Team Magma vs Team Aqua and Rocket's Entei ex in Team Rocket Returns (both 2004).
Entei ★, #113 in EX Unseen Forces (2005), is its Gold Star card, printed beside Raikou ★ and Suicune ★, all three by Masakazu Fukuda. HS Unleashed (2010) put Entei in two LEGEND pairings, Entei & Raikou LEGEND and Suicune & Entei LEGEND, each split across two half-cards. Dark Explorers (2012) printed Entei-EX with a full art at #103, Shining Legends (2017) printed Entei-GX with a rainbow Secret Rare at #74, and Paldean Fates (2024) added a Shiny Rare Entei (#112) by Ryuta Fuse. Our catalog lists 32 Entei cards across 25 sets, with the Sun & Moon era (6) holding the most.

The value of Entei cards is concentrated at the top: the ten leading cards hold 89 percent of the total market value across the species. All 32 Entei cards carry a market value, and they span 1999 to 2026. The most valuable Entei card is Entei ☆ from Unseen Forces, printed in 2005 as a Holo Rare, so a small group of prints sets the market for the whole list.
Entei ☆ from Unseen Forces (2005) leads Entei card value by 2.1 times over the next card, Entei ex from Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004), another Holo Rare. Third is Suicune & Entei LEGEND from Unleashed (2010), a LEGEND rarity card, and it appears again at 7th. Fourth is the Holo Rare Entei from Call of Legends (2011). Fifth is the Holo Rare Entei from Aquapolis (2003), the highest-ranked WOTC era card on the list.
Of the twenty-five most valuable Entei cards, 5 come from the WOTC era and 5 from Sun & Moon, with 4 each from EX and HeartGold & SoulSilver and 2 each from Black & White and Sword & Shield. Vintage, meaning the WOTC era, holds 2 of the top ten and 5 of the top twenty-five, while modern eras hold 8 and 20. The newest era's leader is Entei from Ascended Heroes (2026), Mega Evolution era, 31st overall.
Holo Rare is the most common printed rarity among the ten most valuable Entei cards, with 5 of the ten. LEGEND follows with 2, and Promo, Rare and Ultra Rare have 1 each. Across the leading twenty-five, Holo Rare rises to 7 and Rare to 6, with Ultra Rare at 3, LEGEND and Promo at 2 each, and single cards in Common (reverse holo), Holo Rare V, Rare Holo, Secret Rare and Shiny rare. One of the twenty-five is a Reverse Holo print.
By the value of its single leading card, Entei ranks 35th of 1020 species with priced cards. By the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 30th of 753. Entei's top-card rank sits lower than its ten-card rank, and the 89 percent share held by the ten leaders fits that picture: the Entei card market is built on a group of leading cards rather than on one standout print.
