Card values reflect the market value as seen onTCGPlayer.comand may be subject to fluctuation with time.
10Altaria $52.44
Shining Yellow
The Boundaries Crossed set has its fair share of shiny Pokemon and one of them is Altaria, whichlooks significantly different with its yellow color scheme. This card already commands respect in terms of price for a non-ex or full art card.
Its abilities are also worth it because it buffs all your other Dragon-type Pokemon by making them do 20 extra damage. Stacked together, this can become pretty intimidating for your opponent. Just goes to show you how powerful Dragons can be when they work together.
9Celebi EX Full Art $55.15
Onions Have Layers
Evolved Pokemon are powerful and Celebi lets you tap into their latent power by allowing them to use any of the Moves from their prior forms. This is the perfect opportunity to peel back those layers for some more varied strategies.
Celebi EX looks amazing surrounded by greenish orbs of Energy as it connects the past and the present. However, if you want to save this card for the future, be sure to keep it sleeved when you store it in your binder or Celebi might shrivel up.
8Landorus EX Full Art $58.11
An Earthy Full-Art
Landorus EX’s full art printing in the Boundaries Crossed set has a very earthy look to it. With a rocky background and Landorus’s natural brown and dark orange color scheme, it almost feels like this card is one with the ground. Keep it clean from dirt though.
For one Energy Hammerhead does 30 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokemon and one of their Benched Pokemon. If you’re willing to discard every Energy from Landorus EX, then Land’s Judgment will do 150 damage instead of the base 80.
7Terrakion $60.28
Out For Revenge
If you’re lucky enough to pull a secret rare from the Boundaries Crossed set, you might just stumble across this shiny Terrakion. This Pokemon is out for revenge with its Retaliate Move. This attack does 30 damage plus another 60 if one of your Pokemon was knocked out the turn before.
Meanwhile, Land Crush does a solid 90 damage for three Energy. No matter what Moves they have though, shiny Pokemon are always worth chasing after, since they provide unique looks for your collection to show off.
6Cheren Full Art $64.80
Trainers Look Better In Full Art
Full art cards always depict the various Pokemon trainers from the franchise in the best of ways. Sometimes they have a dynamic pose while other times it’s a full-body depiction that feels almost like you’re buying a tiny print.
Cheren is depicted in his Black and White 2 rendition, which takes place a few years after the events of the first game. His effect is quite simple but always effective towards getting the cards you need in your hand. Cheren lets you draw three cards.
5Golurk $111.80
A Punch Worth Paying For
This is not just the most expensive Golurk in the set. It is also the most expensive Golurk in the entirety of the Pokemon TCG. The Pokemon depicted in the card art is shiny, which gives it an even more ghostly look than its base colorings.
One of the most unique attributes this card has is a devastating punch that is so tough, that it will knock any Pokemon back to its previous Evolution. This is Devolution Punch, which deals 60 and sends that Evolution card back to your opponent’s hand.
4White Kyurem EX Full Art $128.99
Gray And White Combined
When Kyurem and Reshiram merge together they become White Kyurem. This Pokemon is a powerful beast that hasa killer full-art depiction in the Pokemon TCG. With a flaming hot background and the Pokemon’s mix of red, white, and ice blue, a lot is going on in this card art.
This Pokemon uses Fire and Water Energy to power up its Moves. Dragon Stream is a coin flip Move that can potentially help you recycle Energy from the discard pile. Meanwhile, Ice Burn is brutal with 150 damage and the ability to burn your opponent’s Pokemon.
3Black Kyurem EX Full Art $128.99
Black And Gray Combine
When Kyurem and Zekrom fuse, you get one ofthe coolest-looking legendaries of all time. This is Black Kyurem, and it has blue electricity coursing through its body. Like White Kyurem, this Pokemon has so many colors to it including black, blue, and shocking yellow in the background.
While its Moves are just brutal for dealing big damage and causing status effects, the darker color palette gives this card an almost regal look when mixed with the darker borders of this ultra-rare printing.
2Bianca Full Art $199.99
A Professor’s Assistant
Bianca has an interesting printing inthe Temporal Forces set, but if you want to search for a classic depiction of her, you’ll need to pull from Boundaries Crossed. This card depicts Bianca as she appears in the Pokemon Black and White 2 games.
She holds a Poke Ball in her hand which either contains one of her own Pokemon or a starter for you to choose. The bubbly background also meshes well with her bubbly personality. On an empty hand, this card lets you keep drawing till you refresh your options and have six cards again.
1Skyla Full Art $215.23
A Rare Trainer Card
Trainer cards can get expensive when they depict the player’s favorite characters from the Pokemon franchise. Skyla has windy effects going on in her card background as she holds up a Poke ball, waiting for a friendly challenge.
In play, she is essentially a way to get more copies of your other Supporter cards or an instant copy of your Item cards. Playing her lets you search your deck for a Trainer card of your choice. If it’s a supporter, then you’ll have to wait a turn. However, if you search for an Item, you can use it right away.
