Diancie carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It can instantly create many diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands."
What is Diancie worth?
Diancie is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery'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 Galarian Gallery 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 Diancie before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Diancie comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Diancie can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Diancie
When you go to buy Diancie, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Diancie, so price the specific copy in front of you.
