As a Stage 1, it evolves from Litwick, which places Lampent deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Lampent a line of lore: "It lurks in cities, pretending to be a lamp. Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them."
What is Lampent worth?
Lampent 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 Lampent before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Lampent 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 Lampent
Raw copies of Lampent are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Lampent is the practical move.
