Karrablast · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Karrablast card
Numbered 15 of 186 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022, Karrablast is a Common, a Basic Grass-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Karrablast needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Karrablast Pokédex entry reads: "Its strange physiology reacts to electrical energy in interesting ways. The presence of a Shelmet will cause this Pokémon to evolve."
What is Karrablast worth?
Karrablast 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 Karrablast before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Karrablast 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 Karrablast
Raw copies of Karrablast are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Karrablast is the practical move.
