What Is Genesect Worth?
Genesect (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SWSH04: Vivid, card number 016/185. 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.
Genesect Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Genesect (SWSH04: Vivid, 016/185) is worth around $0.40 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.40, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.13. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.40, Lightly Played $0.30, Moderately Played $0.22, Heavily Played $0.21, Damaged $0.13 — 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 $23.50 — about 59x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $8.51.
Is It Worth Grading Genesect?
Grading Genesect can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.40) and a PSA 10 ($23.50) is about $23.10 — a 59x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $8.51. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
