Galvantula · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Galvantula card
Numbered 71 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Galvantula is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Lightning-type carrying 100 HP.
It evolves from Joltik, so Galvantula is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Galvantula Pokédex entry reads: "It launches electrified fur from its abdomen as its means of attack. Opponents hit by the fur could be in for three full days and nights of paralysis."
What is Galvantula worth?
Galvantula is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Galvantula before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Galvantula grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Galvantula
Raw copies of Galvantula are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Galvantula is the practical move.
