Purugly card value

Purugly cards span 2007 to 2024, and all 11 of them carry a market value. The most valuable Purugly card is the Rare from Diamond & Pearl, released in 2007, which sits ahead of a Rare from Unbroken Bonds in 2019. The ten leading cards hold 99 percent of the total value, so the Purugly card value picture is set almost entirely by those ten prints, with the 11th card adding very little.

What makes the top Purugly cards valuable

The Diamond & Pearl Rare from 2007 leads Purugly card value by 3.1 times over the next card, the Unbroken Bonds Rare from 2019. Third is Purugly G, a Common from Platinum in 2009, followed by the Great Encounters Uncommon from 2008 and the Ultra Prism Uncommon from 2018. Behind the two Rares, the most valuable Purugly cards in this group are Common and Uncommon printings.

Purugly cards by era

All ten of the leading Purugly cards are modern, where vintage means the WOTC era and modern is every later era. Across the twenty-five leading cards the count is 11 modern and none vintage, drawn from Diamond & Pearl with 3 cards, XY with 3, Sun & Moon with 2 and Sword & Shield with 2. The newest era's leader is the Stellar Crown card from 2024, in Scarlet & Violet, which places 11th overall among Purugly cards.

Rarities and prints among the top Purugly cards

Among the ten leading Purugly cards, the printed rarities are 7 Uncommon, 2 Rare and 1 Common. Widening to the twenty-five leading cards gives 7 Uncommon, 2 Common and 2 Rare, so Uncommon is the printed rarity that appears most often in both groups. The most valuable Purugly cards are standard Rare, Uncommon and Common printings, and the two Rares in the ten leaders are the Diamond & Pearl card from 2007 and the Unbroken Bonds card from 2019.

How Purugly cards compare with other Pokémon

By the value of its single leading card, Purugly ranks 906th of 1020 species with priced cards, and by the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 730th of 753. Its evolution line has one other member, Glameow, whose leading card ranks 580th of 1020. Purugly cards form a small market, one where a pair of Rares from Diamond & Pearl and Unbroken Bonds sets the top of the range.
