Poltchageist (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV5a: Crimson Haze set, card number 068/066. 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.
Poltchageist (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Poltchageist (Japanese) (SV5a: Crimson Haze, 068/066) is worth around $1.86 in Near Mint condition.
