Lanturn · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Lanturn card
Numbered 21 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Lanturn is a Rare, a Stage 1 Lightning-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Chinchou, so Lanturn is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Lanturn worth?
Lanturn is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Lanturn trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Lanturn before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Lanturn grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Lanturn is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Lanturn
For Lanturn, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Lanturn can make sense.
