Torkoal · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Torkoal card
Numbered 23 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Torkoal is an Uncommon, a Basic Fire-type carrying 110 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Torkoal needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Torkoal Pokédex entry reads: "It burns coal inside its shell for energy. It blows out black soot if it is endangered."
What is Torkoal worth?
Torkoal is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Torkoal before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Torkoal grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Torkoal
Raw copies of Torkoal are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Torkoal is the practical move.
