Best Astral Radiance Chase Cards and Current Values
By TCG Emporium Editorial Team · Published 18 October 2026 · Updated 18 October 2026
Beedrill V 161 leads the Astral Radiance cards with enough recent sales to price. Machamp V 172 and Origin Forme Palkia V 167 may sit above it, but each had fewer than four raw sales in the window, too few to quote. Raw copies have been selling for £43 to £52, with Origin Forme Dialga V 177 close behind at £36 to £49. After those two, the price drops by about half.

All figures are English, single-card eBay completed sales from 5 to 17 October 2026, converted at £0.7499 to the dollar (16 October 2026). Last checked 18 October 2026. Machamp V 172 and Origin Forme Palkia V 167 had fewer than four recent raw sales, so they are left out rather than guessed. Ranks 7 and 8 share the same middle price.
Beedrill V 161
A swarm over a flower field. Narumi Sato fills the card with Beedrill in flight above rows of pink, red and orange flowers, with a sunlit haze at the top right. It is a bright, busy full art and the most valuable ranked card in the set.
Seven raw sales between 15 and 17 October ran from £43 to £52 after trimming, a tight spread. A PSA 10 has a median of about £137, a little under three times a raw copy, and over 4,500 copies hold that grade.
Origin Forme Dialga V 177
Almost level with Beedrill. Mitsuhiro Arita draws Dialga drifting through a spiral of blue, orange and green cloud. Raw sales between 14 and 16 October ran from £36 to £49, and the two ranges overlap.
This card has the deepest graded supply in the top three, with 5,690 PSA 10s. Its PSA 10 median of about £144 is a little over three times a raw copy.
Hisuian Sneasler V 175
The first big step down. OKACHEKE shows Sneasler climbing a cliff face above a green valley, with other Pokémon watching from the top. Raw copies sell for £19 to £26, about half the price of the top two.
The sales behind this figure are older than most, running from 8 to 14 October. PSA 10 copies have a median of about £71, with 1,130 graded.
Hisuian Lilligant V 163
Winter scenery, and a price close to Sneasler. kodama has Lilligant dancing at the edge of icy water, with other Pokémon looking on from a snowy tree. Raw sales run from £18 to £24, and a PSA 10 has a median of about £70.
Machamp VMAX 194, the grading outlier
Raw, Machamp VMAX 194 sells for £9 to £14. A PSA 10 has a median of about £84, roughly eight times a raw copy. That is the widest raw-to-PSA 10 gap among the cards where we show a PSA 10 figure.
The gap says a clean, well-centred rainbow card is worth far more than an average one. It does not say that grading one will pay. Fees, postage both ways and the chance of a 9 rather than a 10 all come off the top. Our UK grading guide walks through those costs.
Further down the list
- Jirachi V 170 by N-DESIGN Inc. sells for £14 to £22 raw. Its PSA 10 population is under 500, so we show no graded figure.
- Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR 198 is the Rare Rainbow version and sells for £8 to £13 raw.
- Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR 210 is the Rare Secret version, by the same illustrator, at £9 to £10 raw.
- Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR 208 by aky CG Works sells for £8 to £10 raw.
- Machamp V 171 by Ryo Ueda is the cheapest ranked card at £7 to £10 raw.
How we priced these cards
We read the most recent raw eBay completed sales for each card, up to ten, from CardTrack's sold-sales ledger, which covers the UK, US and other eBay sites. With six or more sales we drop the single highest and lowest, then quote the range of the rest. With four or five sales we quote the middle price only, and with fewer than four we leave the card out. Dollars are converted at £0.7499 (16 October 2026).
PSA 10 figures are the median of PSA 10 completed sales, shown only where at least 500 copies hold that grade. The population figures are PSA's own counts as recorded in the ledger. The full method is in our guide on how to value Pokémon cards.
A note on pull rates
We do not publish pull rates for Astral Radiance. There are no official odds, and community estimates vary with sample size and product. Our guide to pull rates explains why.
Collector notes
- Two Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR cards. 198 is the Rare Rainbow and 210 the Rare Secret, both by 5ban Graphics, and both sell for about £10 to £12 raw. The number is the only quick way to tell which one a listing means.
- Three Machamp cards in the top twelve. Machamp V 171 and 172 are different cards by different illustrators, and Machamp VMAX 194 is a third. Check the number before you pay.
- N-DESIGN Inc. drew two ranked cards, Jirachi V 170 and Machamp VMAX 194.
- Graded supply is deep. With four-figure PSA 10 populations on the top four cards, there is no shortage of slabs. Compare several graded sales before you pay above the median.
- Check the reverse holo isn't being sold as something more. Many cards have reverse holo versions that share the standard card's number. Our guide to holo and reverse holo cards shows the difference, and our guide to rarity symbols covers the rest.
Questions collectors ask
What is the most valuable Astral Radiance card?
Among cards with enough recent sales to rank, Beedrill V 161 by Narumi Sato. Recent raw sales run from £43 to £52, with PSA 10 copies around £137. Machamp V 172 may be higher, but it sells too rarely to price.
How many cards are in Astral Radiance?
216 in total.
Is a PSA 10 Astral Radiance Beedrill V rare?
Not especially. PSA has graded 4,512 copies at 10. That is why a PSA 10 sells for under three times a raw copy rather than many times more.
