What Is Gyarados (Japanese) Worth?
Gyarados (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV1a: Triplet Beat set, card number 023/073. 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 (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Gyarados (Japanese) (SV1a: Triplet Beat, 023/073) is worth around $0.39 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.39, while a Lightly Played one drops to roughly $1.25. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $30.00 — about 77x 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 Gyarados (Japanese)?
Grading Gyarados (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.39) and a PSA 10 ($30.00) is about $29.61 — a 77x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $15.00, CGC 10 $14.50, PSA 8 $10.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
