Ludicolo · Evolving Skies, what to know.
About the Ludicolo card
Numbered 34 of 237 in Evolving Skies, released in August 2021, Ludicolo is a Rare Holo, a Stage 2 Water-type carrying 140 HP.
It evolves from Lombre, so Ludicolo is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Ludicolo Pokédex entry reads: "If it hears festive music, it begins moving in rhythm in order to amplify its power."
What is Ludicolo worth?
Ludicolo is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies'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, Evolving Skies 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 Ludicolo before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Ludicolo comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Ludicolo can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
