Froakie · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Froakie card
Numbered 56 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Froakie is a Common, a Basic Water-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Froakie needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Froakie carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It protects its skin by covering its body in delicate bubbles. Beneath its happy-go-lucky air, it keeps a watchful eye on its surroundings."
What is Froakie worth?
Froakie is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Froakie before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Froakie is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Froakie
Raw copies of Froakie are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Froakie is the practical move.
