What Is Tapu Koko VMAX Worth?
Tapu Koko VMAX (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH05: Battle Styles, card number 051/163. 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.
Tapu Koko VMAX Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Tapu Koko VMAX (SWSH05: Battle Styles, 051/163) is worth around $1.79 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.79, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.50. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.79, Lightly Played $1.67, Moderately Played $1.44, Heavily Played $0.51, Damaged $0.50 — 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 $35.00 — about 20x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $24.99.
Is It Worth Grading Tapu Koko VMAX?
