Litwick · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Litwick card
Numbered 36 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Litwick is a Common, a Basic Fire-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Litwick needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Litwick Pokédex entry reads: "The younger the life this Pokémon absorbs, the brighter and eerier the flame on its head burns."
What is Litwick worth?
Litwick 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 Litwick before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Litwick 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 Litwick
Raw copies of Litwick are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Litwick is the practical move.
