What Is Dragonite Worth?
Dragonite (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SM Base Set, card number 96/149. 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.
Dragonite Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Dragonite (SM Base Set, 96/149) is worth around $1.62 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.62, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.89. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.62, Lightly Played $1.35, Moderately Played $0.72, Heavily Played $0.81, Damaged $0.89 — 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 $102.50 — about 63x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $30.00.
Is It Worth Grading Dragonite?
Grading Dragonite can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.62) and a PSA 10 ($102.50) is about $100.88 — a 63x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $30.00, PSA 8 $17.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
