Armarouge · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Armarouge card
Numbered 203 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Armarouge is an Illustration Rare, a Stage 1 Fire-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Charcadet, so Armarouge is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Armarouge Pokédex entry reads: "Armarouge evolved through the use of a set of armor that belonged to a distinguished warrior. This Pokémon is incredibly loyal."
What is Armarouge worth?
Armarouge is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Scarlet & Violet'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 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 Armarouge before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Armarouge. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the fire foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
