Victini · Evolving Skies, what to know.
About the Victini card
Numbered 20 of 237 in Evolving Skies, released in August 2021, Victini is a Rare Holo, a Basic Fire-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Victini needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Victini Pokédex entry reads: "When it shares the infinite energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power."
What is Victini worth?
Victini is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies'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, Evolving Skies 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 Victini before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Victini comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Victini 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 Victini
