Remoraid · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Remoraid card
Numbered 105 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Remoraid is a Common, a Basic Water-type carrying 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Remoraid needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.
What is Remoraid worth?
Remoraid 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 Remoraid before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Remoraid 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 Remoraid
Raw copies of Remoraid are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Remoraid is the practical move.
