What Is Water Energy Worth?
Water Energy is a Common card from the HeartGold SoulSilver set, card number 117/123. 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.
Water Energy Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Water Energy (HeartGold SoulSilver, 117/123) is worth around $22.43 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $22.43, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $8.44. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $22.43, Lightly Played $16.68, Moderately Played $13.95, Heavily Played $10.82, Damaged $8.44 — 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 $275.00 — about 12x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $50.00.
Is It Worth Grading Water Energy?
Grading Water Energy can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($22.43) and a PSA 10 ($275.00) is about $252.57 — a 12x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $50.00, CGC 10 $100.00, PSA 8 $25.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
