Pokemon Gym Challenge Information & Values

Gym Challenge Pokemon will come from either 1st edition or unlimited sets. As seen above, one of my favorite Gym Challenge set Pokemon cards is Blaine’s Charizard which is 1st edition. The first edition cards will almost always bring a premium over those cards without the 1st edition stamp.

But what is Pokemon Gym Challenge? Gym Challenge is the sixth set for Pokemon to release in North America on October 16th, 2000. This set touched the hearts of many children and adults around the world. Today they can be very valuable depending on both condition and edition.

In this fully extensive guide, we wrote on Gym Challenge Pokemon, we go over every single Pokemon card ever printed. Right below are pictures of different Rarities printed for Gym Challenge. Simply click on the picture or denomination to learn more about the value of a specific type of Pokemon.

Gym Challenge Pokemon Rarity

What is Pokemon rarity? The rarity of a Pokemon means exactly what it sounds like, how rare is the card? The better the rarity, the less were printed and the more valuable they almost always are. The rarity is located at the bottom right corner of the card, next to the card number.

Here is a list of all potential rarities you can find in a pack of Gym Challenge Pokemon cards:

Pokemon Gym Challenge Values

1st Edition Gym Challenge Set Sealed Booster Box

The value of Pokemon Gym Challenge relies heavily on a few factors that we’ll go over in this guide. It’s important to know Gym Challenge was the seventh set printed for North America. If you have genuine, non-re-sealed, Pokemon Gym Challenge Set booster packs or boxes, you have something that can be very valuable! Please keep in mind, we buy all Pokemon from Gym Challenge Set, individual cards, packs, and boxes.

Demand for Pokemon Cards

The first factor when figuring out the value of Pokemon Gym Challenge is supply and demand. Like most things, there needs to be a demand for a Pokemon in order for the bill to fetch a premium. With Pokemon Gym Challenge, typically speaking, Pokemon with fewer cards printed (supply) are more desirable and sought after (demand). There are examples of old Japanese and other language Pokemon cards that have low supply and low demand, but we’ll save that discussion for another time.

Pokemon Gym Challenge card condition

The next factor is condition. Condition is King. If you have a Pokemon card that people desire, it’s going to bring money. But if you have a card that people desire and it’s in good condition, you’re going to have a card that’s worth a lot more money.

We’ve paid $50 for a Blaine’s Charizard in poor condition, and the same card in pristine condition 1st edition we’ve paid over $1,500 for. The same Pokemon! Condition is key when determining the value of Pokemon cards.

Error, Misprint, or Miscut Pokemon from Gym Challenge

Not many people know this but the error cards from the Gym Challenge set have a good chance to increase the value of a card. If you have a card that has a genuine miscut, that alone can increase the value of a bill tenfold. We wrote a whole in-depth guide about misprinted error Pokemon cards you can check out here.

Market Conditions for Pokemon Gym Challenge

The final variable when determining a Pokemon cards value is the market. Markets are constantly fluctuating for better or worse. The market for Pokemon is generally pointed in one direction, which is up. There have been moments of time, like 2016 with Pokemon Go, that really brought collectors back into the market.

We “pay up” when it comes to Pokemon cards from Gym Challenge, whatever the market prices are. It’s important to remember people tend to think they have something extremely rare and valuable when most of the time unfortunately they don’t! But there is still a good chance you have something valuable in your collection.

Summary

Here are the variables to know: Supply & Demand, Condition, Error cards, Market. If you have any questions about your Gym Challenge Pokemon cards make sure to contact us immediately. We need to see a clear photo of the card(s), front and back, to determine its value.
