Pitch Black
A 2026 set, 120 cards. What is in Pitch Black, what is actually rare in it, and what the cards worth chasing are going for. Mega Darkrai ex leads them at the moment.
That is the Pitch Black set symbol. Every card in the set prints it at the bottom, beside the collector number. Holding a card and not sure which set it is?
The ones you want
Top chase cards
Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. These are the same eight rows the checklist further down prints, sorted by price, so the two agree by construction. Singles move fast, so treat them as a ballpark rather than a quote.
The PSA 10 figures are graded sales data from pricecharting.com, a different measurement from the guide values above and read separately, so the two are not one reading. The date printed beside a graded figure is the day it was read. A PSA 10 is a card somebody has paid to have graded and sealed at the top grade, so it is not what the same card is worth loose in your hand.
Where the value sits
Where the money is
Buy one copy of every card in Pitch Black at its guide value and you would spend $935.79. Half of it sits in 3 cards. The other 117 come to $436.48 between them, which is $3.73 a card.

What those 3 are worth
half of the $936 the whole checklist comes to
In plain terms: a handful of cards carry the set and everything else is bulk. That is normal, it is true of nearly every modern set, and it is worth knowing before you buy a box hoping to "get your money back".
Added up from the 120 prices in the checklist below. Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. This is what buying one of each card would cost. It is not what a booster box is worth, and it is not the chance of pulling anything: nobody outside The Pokemon Company has pull rates, so you will not find any on this site.

Out of our own pocket
What we have opened of this set
Sealed product we have been through, counted from the rip log rather than from the video count. A box counts once however many videos it took to get through it.
The box count is the highest number we wrote against a box in the log, so one marked as our third counts as three whether or not the first two were filmed. Loose packs are counted one per opening. Anything we have not written a number against is not counted here, so these are a floor rather than a total.
Quick facts
Pitch Black 101
- Released July 17, 2026, which was 6 weeks ago.
- The set is 84 cards on paper, but there are 120 in total. The extra 36 are secret rares numbered past the printed count.
- 36 of the 120 cards sit at a chase rarity, which is every tier highlighted in the rarity breakdown below. That is what the checklist holds, not how often any of it turns up.
- Only 1 Mega Hyper Rare exists in the entire set.
- The chase card is Mega Darkrai ex (Special Illustration Rare), sitting around $225 raw, and $1,664 in a PSA 10.
- We have ripped 27 videos worth of this set on the channel.
- Pitch Black is the newest of the 28 English sets on this site. Prices on a set this young move hard and fast, so treat every figure on this page as a snapshot rather than a settled number.
That PSA 10 figure is graded sales data from pricecharting.com, read August 31, 2026. The raw figure beside it is pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, which is a different measurement.
What is actually rare
Rarity breakdown
How many cards sit at each rarity, and what those cards are worth. Mid is the middle card at that rarity: half of them cost more than that and half cost less, which is a far better guide to what you will actually see than the one famous card at the top.
The stars beside a tier are the ones printed on the card, redrawn from the key in the booklet that ships inside a modern set. The color carries as much of the meaning as the count: two silver stars is Ultra Rare and two black stars is Double Rare. Tiers with no stars are not on that page, so this site does not draw one for them. The whole rarity key.
Prices worked out from the Pitch Black checklist below, read August 28, 2026. A rarity only gets a figure where every card at that rarity has a price and the checklist agrees with the set's own count, so a few tiers show a count and no money rather than a number covering a different set of cards than the one beside it.

The gold rows are the chase tiers, the same ones the rarity breakdown above highlights. The stars beside a rarity are the ones printed on that card. Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. Where a card exists as a normal, holo and reverse holo at different prices, the figure shown is the priciest of them, because that is the one people mean. 120 of 120 cards have a price.

Prices are TCGplayer market and lowest-listing prices, read on September 1, 2026. They move every day, so treat them as a rough idea and not a quote. Product photos are TCGplayer's. We are not a shop and we do not sell any of this.
Cost per pack is the market price divided by the pack count printed on each card above, so you can check it. Sleeves, dice, decks and promo cards are counted as worth nothing, which flatters every box that includes them. Anything whose pack count is not in our data gets no per-pack figure rather than a guessed one, which is why blisters, tins and collection boxes have none, and why sets from before 2023 have none either: our counts are sourced for the current era and were not the same in earlier ones. What each product has held, and when it changed, is on how many packs are in it.
