About this card
Malamar 51/131 is card 51 in Forbidden Light (131 numbered cards, plus 19 secret rares). It's one of 27 Rare cards in the set — 18% of 150. There are 16 English cards named “Malamar”. This is the 7th; the first was in XY Black Star Promos (2013). It has 90 HP and evolves from Inkay. You Iribi illustrated 2 cards in Forbidden Light and 51 English cards in total.
It isn't legal in the 2026–27 Standard format, so demand comes mainly from collectors.
Is Malamar 51/131 worth anything?
Copies of this card currently trade at around €0.35 on Cardmarket, assuming near-mint condition. The price you'll get in the UK depends mostly on condition: check the corners, edges and surface, and whether the artwork is well centred. Damaged cards sell for much less, while professionally graded copies in top condition can sell for far more.
To be sure you have the right card, match the set symbol and the number 51/131 printed at the bottom of your card. There are 22 different Malamar cards, so the number matters. Then compare completed eBay UK listings — sold prices, not asking prices — for copies in similar condition.
