Radiant Steelix · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Radiant Steelix card
Numbered 124 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Radiant Steelix is a Radiant Rare, a Basic Metal-type carrying 170 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Radiant Steelix needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Radiant Steelix Pokédex entry reads: "It is said that if an Onix lives for over 100 years, its composition changes to become diamond-like."
What is Radiant Steelix worth?
Radiant Steelix is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Radiant Steelix before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Radiant Steelix is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Radiant Steelix
Raw copies of Radiant Steelix are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Radiant Steelix is the practical move.
