Octillery · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Octillery card
Numbered H20 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Octillery is a Rare Holo, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Remoraid, so Octillery is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Octillery worth?
Octillery is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Aquapolis's value. The print variant decides most of it: a 1st Edition copy in high grade commands a large premium over a Shadowless or Unlimited one. In top-grade 1st Edition, Aquapolis 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 Octillery before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, the holo window on Octillery is where most points are won or lost. Surface scratches and foil misregistration are common on Wizards-era cards, and centering was inconsistent enough that clean PSA 10s stay scarce. Read the water foil at a 45-degree angle under strong light before committing.
If you are collecting Octillery
When you go to buy Octillery, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Octillery, so price the specific copy in front of you.
