What is Hisuian Typhlosion worth?
Hisuian Typhlosion is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Astral Radiance'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, Astral Radiance 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.

Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Hisuian Typhlosion. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the psychic foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
If you are collecting Hisuian Typhlosion
If you are buying Hisuian Typhlosion, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the Hisuian Typhlosion against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
