Common questions
What rarity is Poliwrath #15?
Poliwrath is a Rare. Base Set 2 contains 40 cards at that rarity out of 130 total.
Does condition change what Poliwrath is worth?
The prices on this page are for raw, ungraded copies. Condition swings what a card fetches — a Near Mint copy can be worth several times a played one, and a PSA 9 or PSA 10 slab is a different market again. Scryda scans the card, reads the exact print and finish, and shows raw alongside graded comps.
