What Is Magikarp Worth?
Magikarp (Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the XY Promos set, card number XY143. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Magikarp Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Magikarp (XY Promos, XY143) is worth around $58.51 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $58.51, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $22.31. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $58.51, Lightly Played $44.37, Moderately Played $31.88, Heavily Played $23.32, Damaged $22.31 — 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 $1,480 — about 25x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $146.00.
Is It Worth Grading Magikarp?
