What Is Groudon Worth?
Groudon (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SM - Celestial Storm, card number 81/168. 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.
Groudon Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Groudon (SM - Celestial Storm, 81/168) is worth around $1.75 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.75, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.00. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.75, Lightly Played $1.21, Moderately Played $1.00, Heavily Played $0.70, Damaged $1.00 — 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 $26.92 — about 15x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $14.99.
Is It Worth Grading Groudon?
Grading Groudon can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.75) and a PSA 10 ($26.92) is about $25.17 — a 15x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $14.99, PSA 8 $10.53. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
