What Is Ludicolo Worth?
Ludicolo (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the Detective Pikachu set, card number 2/18. 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.
Ludicolo Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ludicolo (Detective Pikachu, 2/18) is worth around $0.90 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.90, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.35. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.90, Lightly Played $0.58, Moderately Played $0.43, Heavily Played $0.36, Damaged $0.35 — 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 $152.50 — about 169x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $9.50.
Is It Worth Grading Ludicolo?
Grading Ludicolo can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.90) and a PSA 10 ($152.50) is about $151.60 — a 169x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $9.50, PSA 8 $13.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
