Growlithe #80 comes from the Aquapolis set, released back in 2003, and it's the kind of common card that reminds a lot of us why we started collecting in the first place. It's not rare in the pack-count sense, but Yukiko Baba's artwork gives it a charm that keeps it on collector radars two decades later. If you're checking Growlithe value because one just landed in your hands, the short answer is that raw copies run around $18, with graded versions climbing from there.

The collector's take on Growlithe

Is Growlithe worth grading?

So is Growlithe worth grading? A PSA 10 sits at $38, which works out to 2.1x what you'd get for a raw, ungraded copy at $18, so there's a real jump if you land a gem mint copy. But here's the honest part: grading costs money and takes time, and out of 254 total graded copies, only 79 have come back as PSA 10. That's a solid share, but it's not automatic, and a Grade 9 here actually books at $62, higher than the PSA 10 figure. That's worth sitting with before you send a card in. If your copy already looks sharp with clean corners and centering, grading can make sense. If it's a little rough around the edges, you might get more peace of mind just holding it raw or selling as is.

How rare is Growlithe?

Scarcity on Growlithe is worth understanding in real terms. There are 254 graded copies on record total, and of those, 79 have earned the top PSA 10 grade. That's a meaningful chunk making it to gem mint, which tells you this card isn't a nightmare to find in top condition, but it also isn't something everyone pulls and grades either. For a common from a 2003 set, having this many graded copies at all shows Growlithe still gets attention from people who care about condition, not just casual pulls tossed in a binder.

Where can you pull Growlithe?

This is where PackSpy's own data earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just guide prices. Growlithe has been pulled 200 or more times across platforms like tilt-rips, packs, mnstr, courtyard, and collector-crypt, so it's a card that shows up with real frequency if you're opening online. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for it sits at $149, a nice reminder that even a common can have a good day. It's also turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, XY Evolutions, Pack 2, The Amazing Chase Encore, and the Pokémon Starter Pack. Worth remembering, though, that opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come out ahead financially, so treat pulling as part of the fun rather than a guaranteed win.

Questions people ask

How much is Growlithe worth?+

A raw, ungraded Growlithe #80 from Aquapolis is valued around $18. Graded copies shift that number depending on condition, with a Grade 9 at $62 and a PSA 10 at $38, so grade really does change the picture here.

Is Growlithe worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 runs 2.1x the raw price, but gem mint isn't guaranteed. Only 79 of the 254 total graded copies have hit PSA 10, so it's worth judging your card's condition honestly before sending it in.

How much is a PSA 10 Growlithe worth?+

A PSA 10 Growlithe is valued at $38. Interestingly, a Grade 9 currently sits higher at $62, so it's worth checking both figures rather than assuming the top grade always pays the most.
