About this card
Lairon 36/109 is card 36 in Ruby & Sapphire (109 numbered cards). It's one of 34 Uncommon cards in the set — 31% of 109. There are 20 English cards named “Lairon”. This is the 1st — the first ever printed. It has 70 HP and evolves from Aron. Ken Sugimori illustrated 31 cards in Ruby & Sapphire and 1114 English cards in total.
It isn't legal in the 2026–27 Standard format, so demand comes mainly from collectors.
Is Lairon 36/109 worth anything?
Copies of this card currently trade at around €1.11 on Cardmarket, assuming near-mint condition. The price you'll get in the UK depends mostly on condition: check the corners, edges and surface, and whether the artwork is well centred. Damaged cards sell for much less, while professionally graded copies in top condition can sell for far more.
To be sure you have the right card, match the set symbol and the number 36/109 printed at the bottom of your card. There are 23 different Lairon cards, so the number matters. Then compare completed eBay UK listings — sold prices, not asking prices — for copies in similar condition.
