About the Calyrex card
Numbered 17 of 160 in Crown Zenith, released in January 2023, Calyrex is a Rare Holo, a Basic Grass-type carrying 110 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Calyrex needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Calyrex Pokédex entry reads: "Calyrex is a merciful Pokémon, capable of providing healing and blessings. It reigned over the Galar region in times of yore."
What is Calyrex worth?
Calyrex is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Crown Zenith holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Calyrex before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Calyrex. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the grass foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
If you are collecting Calyrex
For Calyrex, variant comes before condition. Confirm the exact rarity tier on the Calyrex, since the spread between tiers is wide. Demand a clear photo of the Calyrex holo for any raw purchase.
