The best is Rayquaza ☆ (Deoxys 107/107), first of the two cards at S. Masakazu Fukuda drew Rayquaza in its black shiny colors for this 2005 Gold Star, a 90 HP Colorless Basic. Both were printed between 2005 and 2021, and nothing from the 5 years since has joined them.

  • Masakazu Fukuda drew Rayquaza in its black shiny colors for this 2005 Gold Star, a 90 HP Colorless Basic.

What is the best Rayquaza card under $50?

Rayquaza EX (30th Classic Collection 85/124) is our pick for a Rayquaza under $50 raw, at about $18. It is the 2026 30th Classic Collection reprint of Eske Yoshinob's Dragons Exalted Rayquaza-EX, which keeps the original 85/124 number. Nothing graded S, A or B sells that cheaply, so all three picks below come from the C tier.

Are Rayquaza card prices going up?

Not across the board. In Europe, 13 of the 24 Rayquazas with a clear trend sold higher over the last 7 days than their 30 day average, 10 sold lower and 1 held within 5%. Rayquaza (Deoxys 22/107) rose most, up 173%, and Rayquaza ex (Deoxys 102/107) fell most, down 65%. 20 more trade too thinly or too cheaply in Europe to read a trend. Prices as of Nov 8, 2026. On scarce cards a few sales can swing a week, so treat it as a hint.
