What Is Poliwrath Worth?
Poliwrath (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SM Base Set, card number 32/149. 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.
Poliwrath Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Poliwrath (SM Base Set, 32/149) is worth around $0.61 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.61, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.50. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.61, Lightly Played $0.45, Moderately Played $0.38, Heavily Played $0.53, Damaged $0.50 — 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 $42.00 — about 69x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $15.00.
Is It Worth Grading Poliwrath?
Grading Poliwrath can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.61) and a PSA 10 ($42.00) is about $41.39 — a 69x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $15.00, PSA 8 $11.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
