What Is Fire Energy Worth?
Fire Energy is a Common card from the HeartGold SoulSilver set, card number 116/123. 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.
Fire Energy Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Fire Energy (HeartGold SoulSilver, 116/123) is worth around $23.19 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $23.19, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $8.21. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $23.19, Lightly Played $18.66, Moderately Played $17.96, Heavily Played $14.43, Damaged $8.21 — 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 $32.25 — about 1.4x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $49.99.
Is It Worth Grading Fire Energy?
Grading Fire Energy can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($23.19) and a PSA 10 ($32.25) is about $9.06 — a 1.4x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $49.99, CGC 9.5 $25.00, PSA 8 $18.31. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
