Mawile VSTAR (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S11a: Incandescent Arcana set, card number 040/068. 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.
Mawile VSTAR (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Mawile VSTAR (Japanese) (S11a: Incandescent Arcana, 040/068) is worth around $0.69 in Near Mint condition.

The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.69, Lightly Played $0.65, Moderately Played $0.45 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
