What Is Gyarados Worth?
Gyarados (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SM - Burning Shadows, card number 33/147. 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.
Gyarados Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Gyarados (SM - Burning Shadows, 33/147) is worth around $1.61 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.61, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.24. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.61, Lightly Played $1.21, Moderately Played $0.81, Heavily Played $0.64, Damaged $1.24 — 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 $40.00 — about 25x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $29.00.
Is It Worth Grading Gyarados?
Grading Gyarados can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.61) and a PSA 10 ($40.00) is about $38.39 — a 25x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $29.00, CGC 9.5 $9.38, PSA 8 $12.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
