About the Hoothoot card
Hoothoot is card 60 of 111 in Neo Genesis, released in December 2000, a Common. It is a Basic Colorless-type with 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Hoothoot needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

The card's flavor text gives Hoothoot a line of lore: "It always stands on one foot. It changes feet so fast that the movement can rarely be seen."
What is Hoothoot worth?
Hoothoot 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
Neo Genesis produced 1st Edition, Unlimited prints. For Hoothoot, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Hoothoot 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 Hoothoot
Raw copies of Hoothoot are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Hoothoot is the practical move.
