The Japanese Pokémon TCG set Nihil Zero has quickly become one of the most discussed releases of the Mega era. Featuring darker themes, fossil-inspired artwork, and strong ties to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the set has produced multiple high-value chase cards rather than relying on a single standout.

Below, Portal TCG ranks the 10 most valuable Nihil Zero Pokémon cards, counting down from #10 to #1, using current UK market data. Each entry includes raw card prices and PSA 10 graded values, giving collectors a clear picture of both immediate value and long-term investment potential.

Raw Price: £10.90

PSA 10 Price: £76.00

9️⃣ Meowth ex #100 (Super Rare)

Raw Price: £17.78

PSA 10 Price: £111.58
