What Is Chesnaught V (Japanese) Worth?
Chesnaught V (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S12: Paradigm Trigger set, card number 009/098. 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.
Chesnaught V (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Chesnaught V (Japanese) (S12: Paradigm Trigger, 009/098) is worth around $0.43 in Near Mint condition.

The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.43, Lightly Played $0.42, Moderately Played $0.30 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
