Ludicolo · Phantasmal Flames, what to know.
About the Ludicolo card
Ludicolo is card 95 of 130 in Phantasmal Flames, released in January 2026, an Illustration Rare. It is a Stage 2 Grass-type with 160 HP.
As a Stage 2, it evolves from Lombre, which places Ludicolo deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The Pokédex entry printed on Ludicolo reads: "There are structures throughout its whole body that produce energy when hit by sound waves with a cheerful rhythm."
What is Ludicolo worth?
Ludicolo is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Phantasmal Flames'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, Phantasmal Flames 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 Ludicolo before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Ludicolo lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The grass 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 Ludicolo
If you are buying Ludicolo, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the Ludicolo against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
