What Is Blaziken Worth?
Blaziken (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze, card number 024/189. 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.
Blaziken Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Blaziken (SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze, 024/189) is worth around $0.78 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.78, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.99. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.78, Lightly Played $0.60, Moderately Played $0.52, Heavily Played $0.61, Damaged $0.99 — 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 $30.00 — about 38x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $12.50.
Is It Worth Grading Blaziken?
Grading Blaziken can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.78) and a PSA 10 ($30.00) is about $29.22 — a 38x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $12.50, PSA 8 $17.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
