Light Azumarill · Neo Destiny, what to know.
About the Light Azumarill card
Light Azumarill is card 13 of 113 in Neo Destiny, released in February 2002, a Rare Holo. It is a Stage 1 Water-type with 80 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Marill, which places Light Azumarill deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Azumarill a line of lore: "It curls up its long ears when swimming to prevent water from entering them."
What is Light Azumarill worth?
Light Azumarill is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Neo Destiny's value. The print variant decides most of it: a 1st Edition copy in high grade commands a large premium over a Shadowless or Unlimited one. In top-grade 1st Edition, Neo Destiny holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to Shining Charizard at the top; 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
Neo Destiny produced 1st Edition, Unlimited, Shining prints. For Light Azumarill, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, the holo window on Light Azumarill is where most points are won or lost. Surface scratches and foil misregistration are common on Wizards-era cards, and centering was inconsistent enough that clean PSA 10s stay scarce. Read the water foil at a 45-degree angle under strong light before committing.
If you are collecting Light Azumarill
Buying Light Azumarill well means pricing the exact print and grade, not the card name. The 1st Edition Light Azumarill trades above the Unlimited copy, so confirm the stamp before you agree a number. Always see the holo surface in good light first.
