Every Lunala Card Variant Ranked by Value (2026)
Published by JK Index · Updated August 2026
Lunala represents Pokemon Moon in the specific Gen 7 Alola dual box art tradition, and the character's TCG catalog carries meaningful adult collector attention that most casual Gen 7 buyers underrate. Pokemon Wizard tracks 34 distinct Lunala variants with an average market price of $36.50, and the specific catalog range spans from $0.36 for modern filler prints all the way to $320.63 for the Solgaleo and Lunala GX Alt Art from Cosmic Eclipse.
Community sentiment on r/PokeInvesting captured a specific recent thread that reflects the current catalog momentum meaningfully: "1.9k USD for it. Gemrate is low, great looking card and the pokémon featured. PSA 10 worth it as a long-term Grail investment?" That specific $1,900 PSA 10 asking price on the Solgaleo and Lunala GX Alt Art reflects meaningful collector conviction, and the specific 4.2% 30 day appreciation per ThePriceDex tracking supports the specific bull case.
The Cosmic Eclipse Solgaleo and Lunala GX story
The specific 2019 Cosmic Eclipse set delivered the specific Solgaleo and Lunala GX Alt Art #216 as one of the specific Tag Team era chase cards, and the specific dual character canon combining both Sun Moon legendary Pokemon into a single card creates meaningful cross catalog collector attention. Raw pricing sits at $320.63 per ThePriceDex current tracking with 4.2% appreciation across the past 30 days, and PSA 10 offers currently reach $1,900 per community sales tracking.
The specific dynamic that supports the specific card's pricing is genuine dual character canon strength combined with the specific Tag Team GX mechanic that was retired after 2019, which structurally caps supply meaningfully versus later Sword and Shield block chase card economics.
