Magcargo · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Magcargo card
Numbered 28 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Magcargo is an Uncommon, 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.

Magcargo carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Its body is as hot as lava and is always billowing. Flames will occasionally burst from its shell."
What is Magcargo worth?
Magcargo is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down 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 forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Magcargo
Raw copies of Magcargo are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Magcargo is the practical move.
