Dedenne Card Value: Identify the Printing Before Comparing Prices
Cover: decorative Dedenne illustration, not a reference image for identifying a printing.
A Dedenne card does not have one universal price. The name appears on different cards, and a raw copy, a graded single and an unopened product are different purchases. Start with the collector number and language before comparing any dollar figures.
The most important distinction in this guide is Dedenne-GX #195/214 versus #195a/214. Those are not interchangeable printings. The alternate-art #195a/214 was included in the 2020 Trainer's Toolkit, released June 26, 2020. It is a Yellow A alternate-art printing associated with Unbroken Bonds, not a 2021 Sword & Shield Black Star Promo. Trainer's Toolkit reference.
Start with the number on the card
| English printing | What to match | Comparison to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Dedenne-GX #57/214 | Unbroken Bonds regular GX | Using full-art prices for the regular card |
| Dedenne-GX #195/214 | Unbroken Bonds full art | Treating #195a as the same printing |
| Dedenne-GX #195a/214 | Trainer's Toolkit alternate art | Comparing a single with an unopened Toolkit or sealed card pack |
| Dedenne-GX #219/214 | Unbroken Bonds rainbow rare | Treating all GX variants as one market |
The Dedenne-GX printing reference distinguishes the regular, full-art, rainbow and alternate-art versions. Check the printed number, artwork and language together; a similar picture alone is not enough.

These are provider-reported examples, not independently authenticated transactions or a market-wide range. Shipping, taxes and seller proceeds are not established here. They illustrate why raw and PSA 10 results must remain separate; they do not establish a grading profit or a rising-price trend.
How to check what your Dedenne is worth
Use completed sales for the same printing and condition. An active listing shows what a seller is asking, not what a buyer paid. A price guide estimate is also different from an individual completed transaction.
For each useful comparison, record:
- The exact card number and language.
- Whether it is a raw single, a graded single or a sealed product.
- The grading company and numerical grade, if applicable.
- The sale date, currency, price and whether shipping is included.
- Whether the lot contains one card or several items.
Compare several recent results rather than treating the highest result as the market. Check photographs for damage, incorrect titles and mismatched variants. If there are too few comparable sales, an uncertain range is more honest than a precise valuation.
You can start with the verified JK Index catalog identities for Unbroken Bonds #57, full-art #195 and rainbow #219. Review the dates and condition attached to any available records. Missing sales do not mean a card has no value.
The Toolkit card needs its own comparison
The #195a/214 alternate art was distributed through a boxed product, but that does not make every listing with its name a sealed-product sale. A loose single, an unopened card pack and a complete Trainer's Toolkit can all appear in searches for the same name. Keep those separate.
Likewise, a PSA 10 result does not establish the value of an ungraded copy. Do not use an expensive asking price to claim a market surge, or attribute a price movement to nostalgia without evidence supporting that explanation.
Is grading worthwhile?
A large gap between a raw asking price and a PSA 10 asking price is not a grading-profit calculation. A submitted card may receive a lower grade, and fees, shipping, insurance and selling costs reduce the amount retained.
Before deciding, compare the likely net proceeds from several plausible grades with the net proceeds from selling the card raw. Use the current service quote rather than a fixed grading fee copied from an older article. Grading for protection or personal collecting is a different decision from grading to resell.
What this guide covers
This is a printing-identification and comparison guide, not a complete ranking of every English and Japanese Dedenne card. The dated Toolkit examples are a snapshot, not live quotes or a valuation of other variants. The Toolkit alternate art, ordinary GX, full art and rainbow rare should each be researched separately before buying, selling or grading.
