What Is Melmetal VMAX (Japanese) Worth?

Melmetal VMAX (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S10b: Pokemon GO set, card number 048/071. 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.

Melmetal VMAX (Japanese) Value Breakdown

As of 2026, Melmetal VMAX (Japanese) (S10b: Pokemon GO, 048/071) is worth around $0.65 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.65, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.25. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.65, Lightly Played $0.69, Heavily Played $0.46, Damaged $0.25 — 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 $20.50 — about 32x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $22.99.
