Dewgong · Phantasmal Flames, what to know.
About the Dewgong card
Dewgong is card 97 of 130 in Phantasmal Flames, released in January 2026, an Illustration Rare. It is a Stage 1 Water-type with 130 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Seel, which places Dewgong deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Dewgong a line of lore: "It sleeps under shallow ocean waters during the day, then looks for food at night when it's colder."

What is Dewgong worth?
Dewgong is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Phantasmal Flames'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, Phantasmal Flames 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 Dewgong 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 Dewgong. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the water 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 Dewgong
Buying Dewgong well means pricing the exact print and grade, not the card name. Match the rarity tier to the comp before you buy. Always see the holo surface in good light first.
