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.
Iron Thorns ex Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Iron Thorns ex (SV06: Twilight Masquerade, 196/167) is worth around $1.92 in Near Mint condition.
