What Is Rotom (Japanese) Worth?
Rotom (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S4a: Shiny Star V set, card number 237/190. 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.
Rotom (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Rotom (Japanese) (S4a: Shiny Star V, 237/190) is worth around $1.85 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.85, while a Lightly Played one drops to roughly $2.00. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $23.50 — about 13x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $9.50.
Is It Worth Grading Rotom (Japanese)?
Grading Rotom (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.85) and a PSA 10 ($23.50) is about $21.65 — a 13x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $9.50, CGC 10 $5.50, CGC 9.5 $13.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
