Heracross · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Heracross card
Numbered 2 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Heracross is an Uncommon, a Basic Grass-type carrying 120 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Heracross needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Heracross Pokédex entry reads: "With its herculean powers, it can easily throw around an object that is 100 times its own weight."

What is Heracross worth?
Heracross 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 Heracross before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Heracross 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 Heracross
Raw copies of Heracross are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Heracross is the practical move.
