What Is Zapdos Worth?
Zapdos (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Pokemon GO, card number 029/078. 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.
Zapdos Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Zapdos (Pokemon GO, 029/078) is worth around $0.62 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.62, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.35. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.62, Lightly Played $0.50, Moderately Played $0.45, Heavily Played $0.44, Damaged $0.35 — 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 $50.34 — about 81x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $6.05.
Is It Worth Grading Zapdos?
Grading Zapdos can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.62) and a PSA 10 ($50.34) is about $49.72 — a 81x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $6.05, PSA 8 $2.25. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
