About the Alakazam ex card
Numbered 188 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Alakazam ex is an Ultra Rare, a Stage 2 Psychic-type carrying 310 HP.
It evolves from Kadabra, so Alakazam ex is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Alakazam ex worth?
Alakazam ex is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Scarlet & Violet 151'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, Scarlet & Violet 151 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 Alakazam ex before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Alakazam ex lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The psychic foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Alakazam ex
When you go to buy Alakazam ex, 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 Alakazam ex, so price the specific copy in front of you.
