About Aquapolis
Aquapolis is the second set of the e-Card series, released by Wizards of the Coast in January 2003. Every card carries dot-code strips along its border that could be scanned with Nintendo's e-Reader peripheral — Pokédex entries and mini-games were literally printed into the card edges. The set uses the era's split numbering: a 147-card main set plus a separately numbered H1–H32 holo subset.
Aquapolis introduced Crystal Pokémon to the English game: Kingdra #148, Lugia #149 and Nidoking #150 are secret rares with a distinctive crystalline holofoil, and they sit at the very top of the set's value table — Crystal Lugia is one of the defining chase cards of the whole e-Card era.
As a twenty-year-old WotC-era set whose holos are notoriously condition-sensitive, high-grade copies are scarce — a big part of why the median priced card here sits far above any modern set's.
How the value is distributed
Of the 171 priced cards in Aquapolis, 42 trade at $100 or more and 157 at $10 or more, and the top ten cards alone account for 41% of the set's total market value. That concentration is typical of the hobby: the chase cards carry the set, and the median card sits at $50.18. If you're valuing a collection, price the top of this page first — the rest usually moves the total less than shipping costs do.
On the 7-day Cardmarket (EU) trend, the set's biggest riser right now is Tyranitar (+71%) and the biggest faller is Horsea (-87%) — an early momentum signal, not a guarantee. See all movers →
