Skyridge Set Guide

Overview

Skyridge came out on May 12, 2003, with 182 cards: 156 Pokémon, 23 Trainers and 3 special Energy. Its printed total is 144. Above it are six Crystal Pokémon secret rares, 145 to 150, and 32 holofoil Pokémon numbered H1 to H32, as in Aquapolis.

It was the last English set Wizards of the Coast published; Ruby & Sapphire followed in July 2003. The catalog has no price at all for five of its H holos.

Cards and rarities

Skyridge has 182 cards. Every card shows its number over the printed total along the bottom, as in "4/144". The cards print a set symbol, not a set code; the code here is the short one the catalog and TurnZero HQ file the set under.

The printed total is 144. Above it are six Crystal Pokémon, 145 to 150, and the 32 Rare Holo cards, numbered H1 to H32. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the secret rares apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals.

Headline Pokémon

Its two most expensive cards and a third Crystal Pokémon:

Umbreon

Skyridge #H30

Dark Gaze, while it is Active, stops every Benched Pokémon, both players', from using Poké-Powers.

Charizard

Skyridge #146

Crystal Type: attach a Fire, Lightning or Fighting basic Energy and it becomes that type for the turn. Dragon Tail does 50 for each heads on two flips.

Golem

Skyridge #148

Crystal Type with Grass, Fire or Fighting. Earth Bomb does 50 and 10 to every Benched Pokémon, both sides.

Trainers worth knowing

Illustrator Atsuko Nishida

Skyridge's chase card is the Umbreon holo, H30/H32, illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, at $11,000.00 on October 22, 2026.

The Crystal Charizard, 146/144, is listed at $10,000.00 for its holofoil copy and $2,999.99 in Reverse Holofoil, and the Crystal Golem at $5,000.48. These are round figures on cards that seldom sell ungraded, so treat them as markers and check each card's page.

Umbreon is printed twice in the set: the H holo and a Rare in the main list, 32/144.

Every Umbreon in Skyridge

Only the exact version is worth its price. The number at the bottom of the card and the rarity symbol beside it tell you which one you pulled. Reading the number and rarity symbol →

Chase cards and prices

H holos and Crystal Pokémon. Some Crystal Pokémon are priced only in Reverse Holofoil, and that copy is the one listed. The price for Alakazam (October 1) is the last the catalog read before October 22, 2026.

These are each card's headline TCGplayer market price on October 22, 2026, except where a row gives an earlier day because the catalog had no newer price. Prices can move a long way, most of all in a set's first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every variant and its 90-day chart.

What a complete set costs

One copy of every card in Skyridge, bought as singles, cost $32,959.40 on October 22, 2026. That is the most expensive of the three sets in the e-Card series.

The three most valuable cards, Umbreon, Charizard and Alakazam, come to $15,200.96, or 46% of the total. Without them the set costs $17,758.44. Of the 177 cards, 0 were under $2.00, together $0.00; the other 177 add up to $32,959.40.

Five cards had no TCGplayer price on file and aren't counted: Gengar, Gyarados, Jolteon, Poliwrath and Raichu.

Five cards' prices are older than October 22, 2026, because the catalog had no newer one: Alakazam (H1), $1,200.97 on October 1, Arcanine (H2), $500.00 on October 21, Articuno (H3), $359.99 on October 21, Houndoom (H11), $699.99 on September 27 and Moltres (H20), $349.99 on October 21. They are counted at that price.

Each card is counted at its cheapest priced variant, usually a Normal copy rather than a Reverse Holofoil, or a stamped promo copy where the catalog prices one lower, at its TCGplayer market price. This is what it costs to buy the set as singles. It is not what opening packs returns, and not what a complete set would sell for, which after fees and the many cards worth cents would be noticeably less.

Playing it

Skyridge is not legal in Standard or Expanded as a set: Expanded starts with the Black & White series in 2011. The catalog marks four of its 182 cards as legal anyway, in Expanded only.

They are Fisherman, Hyper Potion, Lure Ball and Underground Expedition.

Each shares its name and text with a later, legal printing, which is what makes an older copy playable. Every other card in the set is legal in neither format.
