What Is Tropius Worth?

Tropius (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is an Uncommon from Shining Fates, card number 005/072. 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.

Tropius Value Breakdown

As of 2026, Tropius (Shining Fates, 005/072) is worth around $0.21 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.21, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $0.24. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.21, Lightly Played $0.12, Moderately Played $0.24 — 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 $15.50 — about 74x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $2.30.

Is It Worth Grading Tropius?

Grading Tropius can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.21) and a PSA 10 ($15.50) is about $15.29 — a 74x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $2.30. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.

Is Tropius a Good Buy?

Tropius is an uncommon — steady set-filler value rather than an investment piece. Don't expect price growth here — value it for completeness, not returns. Whatever you decide, recheck Tropius's value on PokeCardWorth before buying or selling — the 2026 market shifts with set releases, nostalgia cycles, and demand.
