Kirlia · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Kirlia card
Kirlia is card 212 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, an Illustration Rare. It is a Stage 1 Psychic-type with 90 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Ralts, which places Kirlia deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Kirlia a line of lore: "It has a psychic power that enables it to distort the space around it and see into the future."
What is Kirlia worth?
Kirlia is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Scarlet & Violet'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, Scarlet & Violet 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 Kirlia before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Kirlia lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The psychic foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Kirlia
Buying Kirlia 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.
