Summary
Over the years, eachPokemongame has introduced us to not just adorable new friends in the form of Pokemon but also new allies in the form of new trainers. ThePokemon Trading Card Gameadapts the countless trainers into Supporter cards which all have powerful game-changing effects, but only one Supporter can be used per turn.
Trainers are just as popular as Pokemon, and so they even appear on Pokemon cards as well as their own special Trainer’s Pokemon. One of the most popular and valuable trainers has always been Lillie, who has received non-stop love and many prized cards since her first appearance inSun & MoonBase Set.
All cards on this list have been ranked according to their English print market price fromTCGPlayer.
9Lillie’s Ribombee: Journey Together (Pre-release Staff Promo) – $24.39
Flying High In The Fairy Sky
Alongside the release of the highly anticipated Journey Together set, we got some wonderful Promo cards with unique art for cards found in the set. Every pre-release event has exclusive Promos for both players and staff and this Lillie’s Ribombee is a fantastically adorable one featuring one of Lillie’s Fairy-type favorites.
This card will likely become more valuable as time passes as all the Pre-release Staff Promo cards are very rare to obtain. They are limited and exclusive to those who work at a pre-release event for approved card shops and stores, meaning they cannot be obtained by the average player or collector. Combine that with Lillie’s popularity, and this card is one to keep an eye on.
8Solgaleo & Lunala GX: Cosmic Eclipse (Secret Rare) – $63.87
Dazzling Partners Of Night And Day
This prismatic card is a highlight of how good many of the cards fromCosmic Eclipseare. This hard-to-pull Secret Rare rainbow version of the awesome Tag-Team GX of Lunala and Solgaleo perfectly fits their connections with light and color and Lillie wraps this card together by being the front and center ray of light that protects the two Legends.
Many fans hated the “Rainbow Rare” cards due to them just being reprints of the main chase cards, but worse, since the color and detail of the art is sacrificed for a messy and overwhelming rainbow gradient. This card, however, shows how well they can look if done right and the art looks stunning in person with the rainbow shine, and it makes us kind of miss them.
7Lillie: Sun & Moon Base Set (Ultra Rare) – $73.69
Humble Beginnings In Her Original Outfit
This is one of the very few Lillie cards that uses the outfit that Lusamine chose for her to look like Nihilego instead of the outfit she wears after breaking free and becoming more confident in the story ofSun & Moon. Both outfits are equally iconic, so it’s nice that there is a full art Supporter print for both.
The other outfit has many appearances and is the go-to outfit for any cards featuring her, which makes this one with her standard design rarer to see on any card. That naturally makes this card quite desired as it is the only full art of the classic Lillie design. It’s like day and night between Lillie’s different outfits and so it’s important that we have cards showing her at different stages of her journey through Alola.
6Lillie’s Full Force: Cosmic Eclipse (Ultra Rare) – $143.63
She’s Going All Out!
On this card Lillie gets to highlight a side of her we rarely ever see in card form, her more confident side. With bursting colors and a detailed style, this card is so lively, it is perfect for Lillie in her “lively” outfit as it is referred to in some media. Cosmic Eclipse had so many Lillie-themed cards as it was the final Sun & Moon expansion, and they are all to this day some of her most iconic cards.
The art and pose on this card are unlike any other Lillie card and that makes it extra special for any collection. Lillie is often seen as quite a timid, soft and innocent trainer. However, in the latter half of Sun & Moon, she gets much more confident and becomes less of what her mother shaped her to be, and this card really reflects that character growth so well.
5Lillie’s Clefairy-ex: Journey Together (Special Illustration Rare) – $212.77
Cuteness And Art Like No Other
With the return of Trainer’s Pokemon Lillie was a no-brainer to include with her representing Generation Seven and being one of the most iconic TCG trainers. From the announcement of the basic-ex, many fans awaited with excitement the reveal of this gorgeous Special Illustration Rare, and it is a special card that deserves the high price.
Since this is technically the first proper card with Lillie and Clefairy to be released globally, this card was very sought-after and was the mainchase card in Journey Togetherfor many collectors. The sweet and cozy art of the two together in a flower-filled scene makes us gush with cuteness overload and this card is a must-have for anyone.
4Lillie: Ultra Prism (Regional Championships Staff Promo) – $245.00
Staff Privileges
This card is a recipe for disaster for your wallet as it combines two of the most expensive things together: a Lillie card and a Staff Promo card. Lillie is able to make even the most simple of cards, such as this one, skyrocket in price thanks to her massive popularity. It does help that this card has quite precious artwork and stamps that make it incredibly rare to obtain.
Often, Staff Promos become some of the most illusive cards since they are always distributed in low quantities and are limited to Staff members who work at official Pokemon TCG events. This one is even rarer as it was only given out during various Regional Championships in 2019 and the competitive scene was alot smaller back then than it is now.
3Solgaleo & Lunala GX: Cosmic Eclipse (Ultra Rare) – $250.79
A Legendary Team-Up
While Lillie herself may not be much of a Pokemon trainer, only being a battle partner in the Ultra games, that doesn’t stop her from making bonds with the strongest Pokemon in Alola. This Tag-Team card is a must-have for any fan of Generation Seven and Lillie brings it all together and makes it one of the best cards from that era of the TCG.
Lillie has a close tie to these two Legendaries due to taking care of Nebby (Cosmog) in the Sun & Moon games, which evolves into either Lunala or Solgaleo, and so this card just feels like the perfect love letter to Alola. This is a perfect card featuring the two box Legendaries and arguably the most important side character in the story all in one beautifully striking card, and it was the perfect way to end the era.
2Clefairy: Dream League (Japanese Sun & Moon Promo) – $334.01
An Elusive Promo
This Promo is Japanese-exclusive and does not have an English print.
In the Sun & Moon era, The Pokemon Company knew what it was doing by giving Lillie a ton of cards and artwork featuring her. We cannot complain when looking at gorgeous cards like this Clefairy Promo. Before Lillie’s Clefairy-ex came along, this was the first taste of how perfect Lillie and Clefairy are together.
Since this card was limited to only those who purchased a booster box of one of the final Sun & Moon era sets in select Japanese stores, it is very rare. Add to the fact that this card has vibrant cute artwork that was never released outside of Japan, and it is easy to see why it became a valuable chase card for all regions and collectors.
1Lillie: Ultra Prism (Ultra Rare) – $492.85
The Queen Of All Supporter Cards
This card is one of the most sought-after holy grails of the Sun & Moon era and Supporters, not just retaining value but also growing over time. This Lillie Full Art card has stayed at the top of the mostvaluable Supporter cardsfor a long time, and it deserves to be crowned as the queen.
The reason this card is so valuable is mainly due to how playable and iconic this Supporter was at the time. Combine that with a popular character on a stunning background wrapped up in a wonderful artstyle, and it’s a nasty combination for a chase card. The saddest part of this card is that it is from a less-than-stellar set, Ultra Prism. This set doesn’t have much else besides this card and so there’s not much reason to open the set, but it does make this card even more valuable.
