What Is Tyranitar Worth?
Tyranitar (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze, card number 088/189. 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.
Tyranitar Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Tyranitar (SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze, 088/189) is worth around $0.63 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.63, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.60. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.63, Lightly Played $0.56, Moderately Played $0.88, Heavily Played $0.13, Damaged $0.60 — 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 48x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $6.00.
Is It Worth Grading Tyranitar?
Grading Tyranitar can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.63) and a PSA 10 ($30.00) is about $29.37 — a 48x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $6.00, CGC 10 $24.00, PSA 8 $6.29. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
