What Is Tentacruel Worth?
Tentacruel is a Common card from the Nintendo Promos set, card number 45/92. 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.
Tentacruel Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Tentacruel (Nintendo Promos, 45/92) is worth around $20.25 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $20.25, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $16.00. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $20.25, Lightly Played $19.61, Moderately Played $16.00 — 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 $350.00 — about 17x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $99.99.
Is It Worth Grading Tentacruel?
Grading Tentacruel can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($20.25) and a PSA 10 ($350.00) is about $329.75 — a 17x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $99.99, PSA 8 $11.50. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
