What Is Relicanth Worth?
Relicanth (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the Emerald set, card number 18/106. 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.
Relicanth Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Relicanth (Emerald, 18/106) is worth around $45.20 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $45.20, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $4.69. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $45.20, Lightly Played $10.00, Moderately Played $11.63, Heavily Played $5.50, Damaged $4.69 — 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 $380.00 — about 8.4x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $32.51.
Is It Worth Grading Relicanth?
Grading Relicanth can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($45.20) and a PSA 10 ($380.00) is about $334.80 — a 8.4x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $32.51, PSA 8 $55.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
