What Is Articuno Worth?
Articuno (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Generations, card number 25/83. 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.
Articuno Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Articuno (Generations, 25/83) is worth around $36.30 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $36.30, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $11.02. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $36.30, Lightly Played $21.68, Moderately Played $14.37, Heavily Played $11.61, Damaged $11.02 — 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 $1,800 — about 50x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $94.00.
Is It Worth Grading Articuno?
Grading Articuno can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($36.30) and a PSA 10 ($1,800) is about $1,764 — a 50x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $94.00, CGC 10 $150.00, BGS 9.5 $99.99. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
