What Is Tarountula (Japanese) Worth?
Tarountula (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV1V: Violet ex set, card number 079/078. 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.
Tarountula (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Tarountula (Japanese) (SV1V: Violet ex, 079/078) is worth around $1.67 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.67, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $0.71. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.67, Lightly Played $1.22, Moderately Played $0.71 — 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 $31.13 — about 19x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $8.70.
Is It Worth Grading Tarountula (Japanese)?
