Arcanine Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Arcanine (FireRed & LeafGreen, 18/112) is worth around $46.87 in Near Mint condition.

The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $46.87, Lightly Played $29.08, Moderately Played $16.77, Heavily Played $9.72, Damaged $9.31 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.

Is It Worth Grading Arcanine?
