What Is Palkia Worth?
Palkia (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Celebrations, card number 004/025. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Palkia Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Palkia (Celebrations, 004/025) is worth around $0.19 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.19, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.20. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.19, Lightly Played $0.25, Moderately Played $0.24, Heavily Played $0.09, Damaged $0.20 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $56.00 — about 295x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $21.86.
Is It Worth Grading Palkia?
Grading Palkia can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.19) and a PSA 10 ($56.00) is about $55.81 — a 295x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $21.86, CGC 10 $6.50, CGC 9.5 $5.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
