What Is Groudon Worth?
Groudon (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Emerald, card number 5/106. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Groudon Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Groudon (Emerald, 5/106) is worth around $99.99 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $99.99, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $40.97. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $99.99, Lightly Played $202.00, Moderately Played $75.00, Heavily Played $19.96, Damaged $40.97 — 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 $910.00 — about 9.1x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $325.00.
Is It Worth Grading Groudon?
Grading Groudon can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($99.99) and a PSA 10 ($910.00) is about $810.01 — a 9.1x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $325.00, CGC 10 $1,175, PSA 8 $155.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
