Barraskewda · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Barraskewda card
Numbered 42 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Barraskewda is a Rare, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Arrokuda, so Barraskewda is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Barraskewda Pokédex entry reads: "This Pokémon has a jaw that's as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda's flesh is surprisingly tasty, too."
What is Barraskewda worth?
Barraskewda is a non-holo Rare. In Vivid Voltage, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Barraskewda trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Barraskewda before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On Barraskewda, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Barraskewda in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Barraskewda
