The card's flavor text gives Mawile a line of lore: "Attached to its head is a huge set of jaws formed by horns. It can chew through iron beams."
What is Mawile worth?
Mawile is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Ascended Heroes'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, Ascended Heroes 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 Mawile before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Mawile comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Mawile can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Mawile
Buying Mawile 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.
