Phanpy · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Phanpy card
Numbered 100 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Phanpy is a Common, a Basic Fighting-type carrying 40 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Phanpy needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

What is Phanpy worth?
Phanpy 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 Phanpy before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Phanpy is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Phanpy
Raw copies of Phanpy are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Phanpy is the practical move.
