Drowzee · Legendary Collection, what to know.
About the Drowzee card
Numbered 73 of 110 in Legendary Collection, released in May 2002, Drowzee is a Common, a Basic Psychic-type carrying 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Drowzee needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
Drowzee carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Not popular with girls because of its attitude. Can often be heard muttering to itself in a low voice."
About Drowzee in the Pokémon world
A tapir Pokémon with psychic abilities. Eats dreams in lore. Base Set Common. Thin demand.
What is Drowzee worth?
Drowzee 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 Drowzee before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Drowzee 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 Drowzee
Raw copies of Drowzee are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Drowzee is the practical move.
