What Is Charmander Worth?

Charmander (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the Pokemon GO set, card number 008/078. 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.

Charmander Value Breakdown

As of 2026, Charmander (Pokemon GO, 008/078) is worth around $0.43 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.43, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.06. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.43, Lightly Played $0.38, Moderately Played $0.37, Heavily Played $0.40, Damaged $0.06 — 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 $116.00 — about 270x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $26.79.

Is It Worth Grading Charmander?

Grading Charmander can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.43) and a PSA 10 ($116.00) is about $115.57 — a 270x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $26.79, CGC 9.5 $20.00, PSA 8 $21.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.

Is Charmander a Good Buy?

As a common, Charmander holds little standalone value, but clean copies still matter for set completion. Don't expect price growth here — value it for completeness, not returns. Whatever you decide, recheck Charmander's value on PokeCardWorth before buying or selling — the 2026 market shifts with set releases, nostalgia cycles, and demand.
