Graveler · Fossil, what to know.
About the Graveler card
Numbered 37 of 62 in Fossil, released in October 1999, Graveler is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 60 HP.
It evolves from Geodude, so Graveler is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
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.
Printed on the card, the Graveler Pokédex entry reads: "Rolls down slopes to move. It rolls over any obstacle without slowing or changing its direction."
About Graveler in the Pokémon world
The middle Geodude stage. Now ambulatory. Standard mid-stage card.
What is Graveler worth?
Graveler 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
Fossil shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The Edition 1 stamp under the artwork separates the scarcer 1st Edition Graveler from the Unlimited copy.
Grading and condition
Graveler 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 Graveler
Raw copies of Graveler are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Graveler is the practical move.
Three prints, three markets.
Edition 1 stamp under the artwork. Trades above Unlimited in matching grade.
