Kakuna · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Kakuna card
Kakuna is card 14 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, a Common. It is a Stage 1 Grass-type with 80 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Weedle, which places Kakuna deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Kakuna a line of lore: "While awaiting evolution, it hides from predators under leaves and in nooks of branches."
About Kakuna in the Pokémon world
The middle stage in the Weedle line. A yellow segmented chrysalis. Low-demand vintage Common. Easy to find raw.
What is Kakuna worth?
Kakuna 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 Kakuna before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Kakuna is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Kakuna
Raw copies of Kakuna are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Kakuna is the practical move.
