Doduo · Legendary Collection, what to know.
About the Doduo card
Doduo is card 71 of 110 in Legendary Collection, released in May 2002, a Common. It is a Basic Colorless-type with 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Doduo needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.
The card's flavor text gives Doduo a line of lore: "A bird that makes up for its poor flying with its fast foot speed. Leaves giant footprints."
About Doduo in the Pokémon world
A two-headed bird Pokémon. Base Set Common. Thin demand.
What is Doduo worth?
Doduo is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Doduo before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Doduo is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Doduo
Raw copies of Doduo are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Doduo is the practical move.
