Tap to open
Chinchou is card #70 from the 2003 Aquapolis set, a common little electric-type fish illustrated by Yuka Morii that a lot of players remember fondly from the early Pokemon card days. It is not a flashy chase card, but Aquapolis has aged well and plenty of collectors like to fill in these older commons for nostalgia's sake. If you are here checking Chinchou value, the short answer is that a raw copy runs about $14, with graded versions climbing from there.

The collector's take on Chinchou
Is Chinchou worth grading?
So is Chinchou worth grading? A PSA 10 sells for roughly 1.9x what the raw card goes for, which sounds like a nice jump on paper, but you have to be realistic about what that actually means in dollars. We are talking about a card that costs $14 raw and tops out at $27 in a PSA 10 slab, with Grade 9 sitting at $21 in between. Once you factor in grading fees, shipping, and the time it takes to get a card back, that gap can shrink fast or even turn into a loss if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. Gem mint is never guaranteed, centering and edges on these older commons can be unforgiving, so grading Chinchou really only makes sense if you already own a copy that looks flawless to your eye and you are doing it for the fun of it rather than expecting a big payday.
How rare is Chinchou?
Only 151 graded copies of Chinchou exist across every grading company combined, and 75 of those are PSA 10s. That is a pretty small pool for a card this old, which usually means either not many people bothered to submit a common like this, or the ones that did send in tended to grade well. Either way, the population is modest, and that scarcity is part of why the price holds steady even for a card that was never rare to pull in the first place.
Where can you pull Chinchou?
Here is the honest, insider part: PackSpy tracks real pack pulls across a wide range of sites, and Chinchou has not shown up in any of that recorded data yet. That tells you this card is not something you should expect to open in a fresh pack today. Aquapolis product is old and increasingly scarce on shelves and in pack-opening sites, so most collectors looking to add Chinchou to their collection end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs. It is a good reminder that opening packs is always a gamble, and most rips do not pay off, so if you specifically want this card, buying it outright is usually the smarter and cheaper route.
Questions people ask
How much is Chinchou worth?+
A raw, ungraded Chinchou from Aquapolis is worth about $14. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 at $21 and a PSA 10 at $27, so the price really depends on condition and whether it has been graded.
Is Chinchou worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 sells for about 1.9x the raw price, which can be worthwhile if your card is truly gem mint, but with only 151 total graded copies and grading costs to consider, it is not a guaranteed win, especially since a Grade 9 only brings $21.
How much is a PSA 10 Chinchou worth?+
A PSA 10 Chinchou is worth $27. There are 75 PSA 10 copies on record out of 151 total graded, so gem mint examples make up a good portion of the graded population.
