Dark Explorers has 111 cards with prices tracked hourly, released in May 2012. A complete raw set is worth about $7,433 and the most valuable card is Groudon-EX #106 at $365.35.

Dark Explorers arrived in May 2012 as part of the Black & White series, with Darkness Pokémon and support cards defining much of its identity. Darkrai-EX became the signature card, backed by Dark Patch and other Darkness-focused tools that gave the release lasting competitive relevance. The premium tier includes six full-art Pokémon-EX cards and three secret rares. Gardevoir #109 leads the secret-rare group, while full-art versions of Darkrai-EX, Groudon-EX, Raikou-EX, Entei-EX, Kyogre-EX, and Tornadus-EX shape the broader chase.

Dark Explorers chase cards

If you are not sure which printing you have, identify it with the Pokémon card scanner before comparing prices.

Competitive history and collector demand overlap strongly here, especially around Darkrai-EX and Dark Patch. Full-art Pokémon-EX cards drive much of the set’s value, while Gardevoir #109 is the principal completion hurdle. Sealed product carries scarcity appeal, but singles are more efficient for set building. Foil scratches, whitening, off-center cuts, and chipped dark edges deserve close inspection.
