ABOUT THIS CARD
Dark Ampharos is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Neo Destiny, card 1 of 105, released February 28, 2002 in the Neo series. The illustration is by Kagemaru Himeno.
VALUE
What is Dark Ampharos #1 from Neo Destiny worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Dark Ampharos #1 (Neo Destiny) carries a market reference of $120.00 USD for the 1stEditionHolofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers.
