The value of a Larvesta Pokémon card depends on its set, card number, finish, and condition; the two Larvesta listings here are different cards, so compare each with recent sales of the exact version rather than treating them as interchangeable. The Surging Sparks Illustration Rare is best for collectors seeking illustrated foil artwork, while the Black Bolt Poke Ball-pattern foil is best for collectors seeking that specific finish. The other three listings are not Larvesta cards and cannot establish Larvesta’s value.
| Listing | Best suited for | Relevance to Larvesta value |
|---|---|---|
| Larvesta 196/191, Surging Sparks | Illustration Rare collectors | Direct Larvesta comparison |
| Larvesta 015/086, Black Bolt | Poke Ball-pattern foil collectors | Direct Larvesta comparison |
| Latias and Latios card lot | Collectors of the listed duo | Not a Larvesta comparison |
| Mega Gardevoir ex 060/132 | Mega Evolution card collectors | Not a Larvesta comparison |
| Mega Latias ex 100/132 | Mega Evolution card collectors | Not a Larvesta comparison |
Larvesta 196/191 Surging Sparks Illustration Rare
This listing is for a single Larvesta card identified as 196/191 from Surging Sparks. The listing describes it as an Illustration Rare foil card. Those identifying details matter when checking value: a card with different artwork, numbering, or rarity is not an exact comparison.
Best for: collectors who specifically want the Surging Sparks Illustration Rare version. It was selected because it is one of the two supplied listings that directly features Larvesta. Limitation: the listed feature only confirms a single card; it does not specify its condition.
To estimate value, compare recent completed sales for Larvesta 196/191 in a similar condition. Do not assume the asking price of an active listing is the amount buyers have paid.
Larvesta 015/086 Black Bolt Foil
This is a single Larvesta 015/086 from Black Bolt, listed with a foil Poke Ball pattern and in near mint condition. The set number and finish distinguish it from the Surging Sparks Illustration Rare, so its value should be researched separately.
Best for: buyers looking for this Black Bolt version or a card described as near mint. It was selected as a direct Larvesta listing with a stated condition. Limitation: “near mint” is the listing’s condition description, not a guarantee that every copy has identical surface or edge quality.
When comparing sales, confirm the same card number and pattern. A standard foil or another Larvesta printing may not be an appropriate match.
Latias And Latios Fusion Strike Card Lot
This listing is a lot featuring Latias 193/264 and Latios 194/264 from Fusion Strike, not a Larvesta card. Its stated feature says cards in the lot may include a reverse foil version.
Best for: collectors seeking the listed Latias and Latios cards together. It is included to distinguish a related Pokémon-card listing from a valid Larvesta value comparison. Limitation: the listing does not provide a Larvesta card, and the possible reverse foil variation means the exact finish may vary.
Do not use the lot’s listing or sale price to estimate either Larvesta card’s value.
Mega Gardevoir ex 060/132 Single Card
The listing describes a single, standard-size Mega Gardevoir ex card numbered 060/132 from ME01: Mega Evolution, identified as Double Rare. It is not a Larvesta card.
Best for: collectors who want this specific Mega Evolution card. It provides another example of why set, card number, and rarity must match when researching collectibles. Limitation: its card identity makes it unsuitable as a Larvesta price comparison, and the provided features do not state its condition.
Mega Latias ex 100/132 Single Card
This product is a single, standard-size Mega Latias ex card numbered 100/132 from ME01: Mega Evolution and listed as Double Rare. It is a different Pokémon card, not a Larvesta printing.
Best for: buyers collecting Mega Latias ex or the identified set. Limitation: it cannot indicate Larvesta’s value because the Pokémon, card number, and set differ.
Buying Guide: How To Check Larvesta Card Value
Which Larvesta version do you have?
Read the card name, collector number, set, and finish. The supplied listings identify two distinct versions: 196/191 from Surging Sparks and 015/086 from Black Bolt. Search for the complete identifying details, not just “Larvesta Pokémon card.”
How should condition affect a comparison?
Compare cards in similar condition. Look closely at the front and back for whitening, scratches, bends, and corner wear. A near-mint listing should not be compared directly with a visibly damaged card without accounting for the condition difference.
Should you use asking prices?
Use recent completed sales where available. Active asking prices show what sellers hope to receive, not necessarily what buyers paid. Check more than one comparable sale and verify that the finish and card number match.
Does a foil finish automatically mean a higher value?
No. Foil type is one identifying feature, but demand, condition, availability, and the exact printing also affect what buyers pay. Compare the same foil pattern or rarity wherever possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Larvesta Pokémon card worth?
There is no single value for every Larvesta card. The set, card number, finish, condition, and recent sales of that exact version determine a useful estimate.
Are the two listed Larvesta cards the same?
No. One is Surging Sparks 196/191, described as an Illustration Rare foil; the other is Black Bolt 015/086, described as a Poke Ball-pattern foil.
Can I use the Latias or Mega cards to estimate Larvesta value?
No. They are different cards, so their prices are not reliable comparisons for either Larvesta printing.
What details should I search when checking a card?
Search the Pokémon name, set name, card number, rarity or foil pattern, and condition. Matching these details helps avoid comparing different versions.
