Magcargo · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Magcargo card
Numbered 22 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Magcargo is a Rare, a Stage 1 Fire-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Slugma, so Magcargo is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Magcargo Pokédex entry reads: "Its body is as hot as lava and is always billowing. Flames will occasionally burst from its shell."
What is Magcargo worth?
Magcargo is a non-holo Rare. In Lost Origin, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Magcargo 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 Magcargo before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Magcargo grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Magcargo is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Magcargo
For Magcargo, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Magcargo rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
