What Is Blastoise Worth?
Blastoise (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Pokemon GO, card number 017/078. 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.
Blastoise Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Blastoise (Pokemon GO, 017/078) is worth around $1.62 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.62, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.59. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.62, Lightly Played $1.22, Moderately Played $1.20, Heavily Played $1.18, Damaged $0.59 — 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 $107.50 — about 66x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $24.99.
Is It Worth Grading Blastoise?
Grading Blastoise can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.62) and a PSA 10 ($107.50) is about $105.88 — a 66x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $24.99, CGC 9.5 $8.27, PSA 8 $12.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
