Donphan · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Donphan card
Numbered 87 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Donphan is a Rare, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 150 HP.
It evolves from Phanpy, so Donphan is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Donphan carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take long to grow."

What is Donphan worth?
Donphan is a non-holo Rare. In Vivid Voltage, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Donphan trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Donphan before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Donphan are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. These cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Donphan survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Donphan
For Donphan, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Donphan rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
