If you want one number: the median Pokémon GO account on our shelf sells for
$94.38. The range right now runs from
$12.87 to
$22,197.00 across
299 listings, with the middle half between
$39.15 and $707.38.
Take that median with more salt than usual. Pokémon GO has the widest spread of
any shelf we run: 5,7% of it sells
under $20, and 47,8% clears $100.
The gap between the two ends is not a premium, it is a different market.
| what is on the account | tracks price | listings measured |
|---|
| Trainer level | 0,887 | 102 |
| Total XP | 0,85 | 35 |
| Legendary Pokémon | 0,826 | 224 |
| Shiny Pokémon | 0,782 | 224 |
| Hundos (100% IV) | 0,393 | 110 |
That top row is the highest correlation in our whole catalogue — higher than
skins in Rust, higher than Ultras in Dragon Ball Legends. And the ladder behind
it is brutal:
| trainer level | listings | median |
|---|
| under 40 | 19 | $17.15 |
| 40 – 49 | 11 | $96.87 |
| 50 – 69 | 6 | $191.24 |
| 70 or more | 66 | $4,111.68 |
| not stated | 197 | $47.85 |
One note before you read it: the level cap is not 50 any more. Accounts on
this shelf routinely state level 80, alongside XP totals in the hundreds of
millions. If you last played when 40 was the ceiling, the top of this ladder will
not look like the game you remember.
Everything above seventy is a different product. Those are the listings that
call themselves "END GAME" — a decade of daily play, hundreds of millions of XP,
four-figure Pokédex counts — and they are priced in the thousands, not the tens.
| legendary Pokémon | listings | median |
|---|
| under 100 | 149 | $42.05 |
| 100 – 499 | 29 | $188.07 |
| 500 – 999 | 14 | $2,055.84 |
| 1,000 or more | 32 | $6,643.10 |
| not stated | 75 | $89.41 |
| shiny Pokémon | listings | median |
|---|
| under 500 | 181 | $50.75 |
| 500 – 999 | 17 | $3,618.79 |
| 1,000 or more | 26 | $7,024.66 |
| not stated | 75 | $96.87 |
Both are steep, and both are really measuring the same thing the level measures:
years of raids, community days and events that cannot be compressed. That is what
makes Pokémon GO accounts expensive in a way that most mobile games are not —
you cannot buy your way to a thousand legendaries, you can only spend time.
Hundos are the interesting exception:
| hundos (100% IV) | listings | median |
|---|
| under 50 | 44 | $49.30 |
| 50 – 99 | 39 | $43.50 |
| 100 – 299 | 22 | $121.06 |
| 300 or more | 5 | $9,771.18 |
| not stated | 189 | $98.60 |
Look at the first two rows. An account with fifty hundos is worth the same as an
account with none — the price does not move until about a hundred. A perfect-IV
Pokémon is a lottery outcome on catches you were making anyway, so a moderate
hundo count is a by-product of playing rather than an achievement on top of it.
Past a hundred the count stops being luck and starts being evidence of volume,
and there the price does move.
| in the listing | what it really says | how much it moves the price |
|---|
| Trainer level | Total time played, honestly | More than anything else |
| Total XP | The same thing, more precisely | Nearly as much |
| Legendaries | Years of raids | A great deal |
| Shinies | Years of events | A great deal |
| Hundos | Luck, until the count is large | Little below a hundred |
| Login type | Whether it can become yours | Not a price, a precondition |
That last row is not a statistic and it matters more than most of the ones above
it. A Pokémon Trainer Club login can be handed over whole; an account bound to
Google, Facebook or Apple brings the whole question of who controls the
underlying account. Read it before you read any number on this page.
- Lead with the trainer level. It is the number this shelf sorts by, and
above seventy it changes your price bracket.
- Then legendaries and shinies, with real counts. These are checkable in
game, so exaggerating them is a dispute waiting to happen.
- State hundos only above a hundred. Below that the shelf does not pay for
them, and the line makes a strong account look like it is reaching.
- Say what the login is. It is the first thing a careful buyer asks and the
reason many listings sit.
Decide your bracket before you browse, because the two ends of this shelf are
not comparable. Under $50 you are buying a mid-level account to play from; over
a thousand you are buying a decade of somebody's collection, and the things that
matter there are the specific rare Pokémon, not the totals.
Then check the login type and the region before anything else, and ask for the
in-game screens rather than trusting the title — every count in a Pokémon GO
listing is visible inside the app, which makes this a shelf where verification is
possible before payment if you insist on it.
The Pokémon GO shelf carries live medians on each slice —
level 70+, 1,000+ legendaries,
1,000+ shinies, 100+ hundos,
Trainer Club logins — and when you are ready to list,
sell your Pokémon GO account: escrow holds the payment until
the buyer confirms the login works.
Every figure on this page is read from our live catalogue when the page loads,
not written into the text — the shelf moves, and so do the numbers. Correlations
are Spearman coefficients, computed on ranks rather than raw prices, which
matters more here than on any other shelf: the dearest account is worth hundreds
of times the median, and a raw-price coefficient would measure that one listing.
Counts are read from the sellers' own listings and are present on part of the
shelf, which is why every table prints its own listing count and keeps a row for
the listings that state nothing.
