Kakuna · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Kakuna card
Numbered 2 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Kakuna is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Weedle, so Kakuna is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Kakuna Pokédex entry reads: "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 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 Kakuna before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Kakuna 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 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.
