Quilava #46 value & price
Related Quilava & chase cards
Tap to open
Quilava is one of those Neo Genesis cards that quietly rewards patience, an Uncommon stage that bridges Cyndaquil and Typhlosion, illustrated by Ken Sugimori back when the set first landed in 2000. If you are trying to pin down Quilava value today, the short answer is that it lives in that approachable, everyday range for raw copies, with real money only showing up once a grader gets involved. It is not a flashy chase card, but it has stuck around in binders for over two decades, and that kind of staying power counts for something.

The collector's take on Quilava
Is Quilava worth grading?
So is Quilava worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw, ungraded copy sits around $4, while a PSA 10 comes in at $128, which works out to about 36.6 times the raw price. That sounds like a clear win on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on a card this old, and Neo Genesis printing was not exactly kind to sharp corners or clean edges. Grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that gap, and there is a real chance you send in a nice-looking card and come back with a Grade 9 or lower. If you already own a Quilava that looks sharp in hand under good light, it can be worth a shot, but treat it as a calculated risk, not a guaranteed payday.
How rare is Quilava?
Across every grading submission on record, only 756 Quilava copies have been graded in total, and of those just 152 have earned a PSA 10. That is a fairly tight slice sitting at the top, especially for a card this old that has been through two decades of handling, trading, and storage. It tells you that while Quilava itself is not scarce in raw form, true gem mint examples are the real rarity here, and that scarcity is exactly what keeps PSA 10 prices well above the raw market.
Where can you pull Quilava?
PackSpy has tracked Quilava getting pulled 16 times across pack sites mnstr and courtyard, with the biggest single pull landing at $246, so it is not a card that shows up constantly, but it does surface. We have seen it turn up in Pack 2, the Pokémon Starter Pack, the Pokémon Master Pack, the Wildcard Basic Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore. That spread across different pack types is the kind of detail a price guide will never show you, and it is worth remembering that most pack opening does not pay off the way that $246 pull did, so treat any rip as fun first and an investment a distant second.
Questions people ask
How much is Quilava worth?+
A raw, ungraded Quilava from Neo Genesis is valued around $4. Once graded, the value jumps depending on the grade, with a Grade 9 sitting at $296 and a PSA 10 at $128, so condition and grading really do shape what this card is worth.
Is Quilava worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth roughly 36.6 times the raw price of $4. That said, gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off with this card, and grading fees plus the wait mean it is a calculated risk rather than a sure thing.
How much is a PSA 10 Quilava worth?+
A PSA 10 Quilava is valued at $128. Only 152 copies out of the 756 total graded have hit that gem mint grade, which shows just how selective the population is at the very top.
