Keldeo in the games: a Mythical with a Resolute Form

Keldeo is a Mythical Water and Fighting type from Generation 5, and a member of the Swords of Justice alongside Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion. It does not evolve. When it knows Secret Sword, a move only Keldeo can learn, it switches from its Ordinary Form to its Resolute Form; the change is to its appearance, not its type. Resolute Form was introduced in Black 2 and White 2. Its only ability, Justified, raises its Attack when a Dark-type move hits it.

Keldeo card value

Keldeo card value is concentrated at the top: the ten leading cards hold 97 percent of the total. The most valuable Keldeo card is the Keldeo-EX from Boundaries Crossed (2012), an Ultra Rare from the Black & White era. Of the 22 Keldeo cards, 21 carry a market value, and they span the years 2011 to 2026. A short list of prints sets the market for the species, and the rest of the priced cards add little to the total.

What makes the top Keldeo cards valuable

Keldeo-EX from Boundaries Crossed (2012) leads Keldeo card value by 2.2 times over the next card, the Keldeo ex special illustration rare from White Flare (2025). Third is the Keldeo promo from XY Black Star Promos (2013), followed by the Keldeo GX Secret Rare from Unified Minds (2019). A special illustration rare is a modern full-art rarity with an alternate illustration, and a Secret Rare is a card numbered beyond the printed set count.

Keldeo cards by era

The most valuable Keldeo cards come from the modern eras: of the twenty-five leaders, 6 come from Black & White, 4 each from Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet, 2 from XY and 1 from Mega Evolution. The newest era's leader is Keldeo from Chaos Rising (2026), 20th overall. Vintage means the WOTC era and modern is every later era, and the split is all modern: 10 of 10 in the top ten and 21 of 21 in the top twenty-five.

Rarities and prints among the top Keldeo cards

Among the ten leading Keldeo cards, the printed rarities are 3 Ultra Rare, 2 Promo, and one each of Common, Holo Rare, Rare, Secret Rare and Special illustration rare. Widening to the leading twenty-five, the counts are 5 Rare, 4 Holo Rare, 4 Ultra Rare and 2 Promo, with one each of Common, Double rare, Holo Rare V, Secret Rare, Special illustration rare and Uncommon. Promo prints and regular set cards both appear among the Keldeo leaders.

How Keldeo cards compare with other Pokémon

By the value of its single leading card, Keldeo ranks 164th of 1020 among species with priced cards. By the combined value of its ten leaders, it ranks 174th of 753. The two ranks sit close together, which fits a market where the top ten hold 97 percent of the value and the leading Keldeo-EX carries much of the weight.
