Jynx · Legendary Collection, what to know.
About the Jynx card
Jynx is card 26 of 110 in Legendary Collection, released in May 2002, a Rare. It is a Basic Psychic-type with 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Jynx needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.
The Pokédex entry printed on Jynx reads: "Merely by meditating, the Pokémon launches a powerful psychic energy attack."
About Jynx in the Pokémon world
A psychic-ice Pokémon. The original Jynx art was redesigned in later releases due to depiction concerns. Jungle Rare with niche collector demand.
What is Jynx worth?
Jynx is a non-holo Rare. In Legendary Collection, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Jynx trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Jynx before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Jynx are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. Wizards-era cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Jynx survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Jynx
For Jynx, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Jynx can make sense.
