Die 10 seltensten Pokémon aus Nebel der Sagen

The 10 rarest Pokémon from Mists of Legend

Every year, the Pokémon Company International releases a special TCG set in the second half of the year, often considered one of the most ambitious of the year. Sets like "Uncovered Fates" (2019), with its massive Shiny Pokémon subset, " Champion's Path " (2020), featuring Japanese promo highlights, and "Celebration" (2021), which celebrated 25 years of Pokémon history, have set the bar high. But "Mist of Legends" takes a completely different approach. In the following article, we'll find out which are the rarest Pokémon from Mist of Legends .

This set forgoes the big, innovative ideas of its predecessors. There's neither a unique subset nor a new rarity tier to captivate collectors. Instead, the focus is on Pokémon and characters from the ninth generation—too fresh to evoke nostalgia and unexciting for many players. Even from a gameplay perspective, the set remains unimpressive, as the card count is smaller than in other current sets, making it have little impact on the Standard format.

Why is “Mist of Legends” so special?

Unlike other annual sets, " Mist of Legends " is neither particularly rare nor has it fetched particularly high prices on the secondary market. Precisely because the set hasn't generated much hype, the cards are available in smaller quantities but are still comparatively affordable.

The moderate hype is also reflected in the prices: While sets like " Hidden Fates " and " Celebrations " stand out due to their iconic cards and high demand, the cards from "Mist of Legend" remain largely mid-range. Collectors who still want to complete the set can do so without the usual financial outlay—making it attractive for newcomers.


The meaning of rarity

Sets like "Mist of Legends" demonstrate how crucial the dynamics between supply and demand can be. While previous sets boast innovative concepts and nostalgia, "Mist of Legends" paradoxically benefits from its unassuming appearance. Fewer opened packs mean fewer cards available, which can drive up demand and thus prices.

  • “Champion’s Path” (2020): Charizard promo cards in particular generated high demand in the community.
  • “Celebrations” (2021): A tribute to 25 years of the Pokémon card game with reprints of iconic cards.
  • “Pokémon GO” (2022): The first set inspired by an externally developed game.
  • “Crimson & Purple – 151” (2023): The first set to depict the complete Pokédex of a region.
