What Is Squirtle Worth?
Squirtle is a Common card from the McDonald's 25th Anniversary Promos set, card number 017/025. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Squirtle Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Squirtle (McDonald's 25th Anniversary Promos, 017/025) is worth around $1.10 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.10, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.28. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.10, Lightly Played $0.74, Moderately Played $0.58, Heavily Played $0.58, Damaged $0.28 — 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 $35.00 — about 32x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value.
Is It Worth Grading Squirtle?
Grading Squirtle can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.10) and a PSA 10 ($35.00) is about $33.90 — a 32x uplift before grading fees. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.

Whatever you decide, recheck Squirtle's value on PokeCardWorth before buying or selling — the 2026 market shifts with set releases, nostalgia cycles, and demand.
