Solgaleo in the games

Solgaleo evolves from Cosmoem at level 53 and is one of the final forms of Cosmog, the other being Lunala. It resembles a lion whose mane and spikes give it the appearance of a stylized sun, with a starscape-patterned upper face. Solgaleo appears to be based on a lion with a sun motif, and its name may combine sol (Latin for sun) and leo (Latin for lion), possibly also referencing Galileo. Its design may also draw on the alchemical lion, historically described as devouring the sun, and on astrology's association of the Sun with the zodiac sign Leo.

Solgaleo card value

Solgaleo cards span the years 2017 to 2021, and the most valuable Solgaleo card is the Solgaleo & Lunala GX Ultra Rare from Cosmic Eclipse, released in 2019. Every one of the 14 Solgaleo cards carries a market value, and the ten leading cards hold 99 percent of the total, so Solgaleo card value sits almost entirely in a short list of prints.

What makes the top Solgaleo cards valuable

The Cosmic Eclipse Ultra Rare Solgaleo & Lunala GX leads Solgaleo card value by 2.7 times over the next card, the Secret Rare version of the same Solgaleo & Lunala GX from the same 2019 set. Third is the Secret Rare Solgaleo GX from Ultra Prism in 2018, followed by another Cosmic Eclipse Ultra Rare. The Solgaleo \u25c7 from Ultra Prism, a plain Rare, sits fifth.

Solgaleo cards by era

Sun & Moon supplies 13 of the 25 leading Solgaleo cards, with one more from Sword & Shield. That Sword & Shield card is the Celebrations Solgaleo from 2021, 14th overall. The top ten are all modern, none from the WOTC era that defines vintage, and the top 25 split 14 modern to 0 vintage.

Rarities and prints among the top Solgaleo cards

Among the ten most valuable Solgaleo cards, four are Ultra Rare, three are Secret Rare, two are Promo and one is Rare. Widening to the leading 25 adds three Holo Rare cards and a second Rare, leaving Ultra Rare at four, Secret Rare at three and Promo at two. The leaders are GX Solgaleo cards and Solgaleo & Lunala GX cards, with the SM Black Star Promos among them.

How Solgaleo cards compare with other Pokémon

By the value of its single leading card, Solgaleo ranks 101st of 1020 species with priced cards, and by the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 115th of 753. In its evolution line, Lunala ranks 101st of 1020 by top card, Cosmog 848th and Cosmoem 1007th. The Solgaleo & Lunala GX cards at the top of the ranking are the ones that lift the species, so the market for Solgaleo cards is built from a few shared GX prints.
