Spiritomb Collector's Guide 2026: 108 Spirits, No Weaknesses, and the Price Tiers Worth Knowing
By Dexhaul Team · September 22, 2026
Spiritomb carries its origin in its Pokédex number: 108 evil spirits fused into a single entity, bound to a cracked Odd Keystone and left to wander for five centuries before you encounter it in the Sinnoh games.
That lore runs deeper than most Ghost-types. It also shapes the collector's market in ways that aren't obvious from looking at the card list alone.
Spiritomb is a Ghost/Dark type, Pokémon #442. In Generation 4 and Generation 5, that dual typing produced something genuinely unusual: zero weaknesses.
Ghost-type attacks and Dark-type attacks cancel each other's super-effectiveness when they hit a Ghost/Dark target, arriving at neutral. Fighting moves hit Ghost immunity and stop entirely. The result: no existing attack type could deal super-effective damage for two full console generations.
Generation 6 closed that window. Fairy type arrived with Pokémon X and Y in 2013, and Fairy attacks hit Dark types for 2x damage with no Ghost immunity to offset it.
Spiritomb has had a Fairy weakness ever since. The zero-weakness era is over, but the cards from that era carry the identity.
The Entry Level: SV Era Holos ($0.30-$4)
The cheapest in-stock Spiritomb cards are the SV era holos: Scarlet and Violet Base Set 129/198 at around $0.30, and Paldea Evolved 089/193 at CA$0.49 to $4.25 depending on the seller.
Both are standard Holo Rares. Neither carries an ex designation, an Illustration Rare treatment, or any rarity above the baseline Holo. Spiritomb has no ex card in any English SV main-series set as of September 2026, which puts it in a similar position to characters like Sableye and Eternatus: the entire SV era premium sits in the Paldean Fates Shiny subset, not in a main-series pull.
For players who need the card for a deck, the Paldea Evolved holo is the practical pick. For collectors tracking the full SV era arc, it is the entry point, not the destination.
The HGSS-Era Holo ($4-$10)
The HGSS era produced Spiritomb's most recognizable older card in the catalogue: Triumphant 10/102, a Holo Rare at $4-$10 depending on condition.
Collectors draw a distinction between this card and the earlier Stormfront Spiritomb 40/100 from 2008. The Stormfront version had a PokéBody that disrupted Trainer card play while it was in the Active spot, making it a staple in competitive builds during the early HeartGold SoulSilver format.
Triumphant's Spiritomb plays a different role: the era's standard Holo for the character, with the older foil pattern collectors associate with the 2009-2011 window. The competitive heritage from Stormfront adds historical context even when the Triumphant card is the in-stock option.
At $7-$10 NM, the Triumphant holo sits at the natural mid-range for a HGSS-era single of this character. It is not scarce, but it is older foil stock from a lower-print era than modern SV sets.
The Modern Ceiling: Paldean Fates Shiny 158/091 ($8-$18)
Spiritomb 158/091 from Paldean Fates is the highest-rarity English SV card for this character. It carries the Shiny designation: the numbering convention of 158 from a base set of 91 signals a Shiny Rare, the SV-era equivalent of what Shining Fates did for the SWSH generation.
The spread within the SV era alone tells the story. The SV Base Set common sits at $0.30.
The Paldean Fates Shiny in raw NM condition runs $8-$18 depending on seller and timing. That is a 27-60x spread within the same console generation, driven entirely by rarity tier and Shiny treatment.
There is no Spiritomb ex, IR, or SIR in English main-series SV sets. This Shiny Rare is the top of the ladder until a future set changes that.
The Japanese Premium: Dark Fantasma CHR 076/071 ($7)
For English collectors who want alt-art treatment without paying Paldean Fates NM prices, the Japanese Dark Fantasma CHR is the import option.
The CHR (Character Rare) designation is a SWSH-era Japanese rarity tier that pairs a Pokémon with a trainer character in a full-bleed illustration layout. Dark Fantasma (s10a) was a Japanese expansion released in October 2022, focused specifically on Ghost-type Pokémon. Spiritomb's CHR 076/071 sits above the set total of 71, consistent with the above-set numbering convention for this rarity tier.
At $7 raw, the CHR undercuts the Paldean Fates Shiny floor by a significant margin while offering a trainer-paired illustration format that has no English equivalent for this character. It is a Japanese-only import with no English release; that scarcity is reflected in the price holding flat rather than dropping over time the way mass-printed English singles do.
The Mega Evolution Era: Budget Ghost-Type Entries ($0.36-$5)
The Mega Evolution series from 2024-2025 added Spiritomb across multiple sets at budget price points. ME series Spiritomb cards range from $0.36 (Pitch Black 035/084) to $5 for the 148/188 edition. Neither carries premium art treatment, but both represent the most affordable in-print Spiritomb cards in the catalogue beyond the SV era commons.
Collectors building out a comprehensive Spiritomb binder page often pick these up as era representatives rather than focal pieces. They cost less than a booster pack and fill the modern Japanese-adjacent section of a character collection without requiring an import order.
The Plush Market
The Pokémon Fit plush is the primary merchandise format for Spiritomb at retail. It is a Pokémon Center Japan exclusive: it is not sold through Pokémon Center US or licensed North American retailers, which means it sources through importers.
At $24.99 from importer listings, the Spiritomb Fit sits in line with other Fit plush of similar character popularity. The Fit design is palm-sized and bottom-weighted to stand upright on a flat surface. For Ghost-type collectors assembling a Halloween-themed display, it is the standard starting point before the secondary market for older or limited Pokémon Center Japan event plush begins.
September is historically the floor for Ghost-type plush pricing before October demand picks up. If the Fit plush is on the list, this is the window to buy it before the seasonal premium arrives.
How the Tiers Stack Up
The Spiritomb price ladder from current in-stock listings:
- SV Base Set / Paldea Evolved standard holos: $0.30-$4
- ME series: $0.36-$5
- HGSS Triumphant 10/102 Holo: $4-$10
- Dark Fantasma CHR 076/071 (Japanese): $7
- Paldean Fates Shiny 158/091: $8-$18
- Fit plush (Pokémon Center Japan exclusive): $24.99
The character has no V, VMAX, VSTAR, or ex card in any English main-series set. That gap positions the Paldean Fates Shiny as both the English SV ceiling and a relatively accessible one, compared to characters where a Galarian Gallery SAR or SIR defines the top.
For collectors who want the full picture across both card tiers, the Triumphant holo represents the older foil aesthetic at $7-$10, the Paldean Fates Shiny covers the modern SV premium at $8-$18, and the Dark Fantasma CHR fills the Japanese alt-art tier at $7. All three together land comfortably under $40.
