What Is Venusaur Worth?
Venusaur (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Base Set, card number 015/102. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is a premium card whose value justifies professional protection and, often, grading.
Venusaur Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Venusaur (Base Set, 015/102) is worth around $142.37 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $142.37, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $34.32. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $142.37, Lightly Played $103.72, Moderately Played $64.87, Heavily Played $41.71, Damaged $34.32 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
