Heliolisk · Crown Zenith, what to know.
About the Heliolisk card
Heliolisk is card 50 of 160 in Crown Zenith, released in January 2023, a Rare. It is a Stage 1 Lightning-type with 120 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Helioptile, which places Heliolisk deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Heliolisk a line of lore: "A now-vanished desert culture treasured these Pokémon. Appropriately, when Heliolisk came to the Galar region, treasure came with them."
What is Heliolisk worth?
Heliolisk is a non-holo Rare. In Crown Zenith, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Heliolisk 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 Heliolisk before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On Heliolisk, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Heliolisk in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Heliolisk
For Heliolisk, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Heliolisk rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
