Kricketune · Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, what to know.
About the Kricketune card
Numbered GG02 of 70 in Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, released in January 2023, Kricketune is a Trainer Gallery Rare Holo, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Kricketot, so Kricketune is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Kricketune carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It signals its emotions with its melodies. Scientists are studying these melodic patterns."
What is Kricketune worth?
Kricketune is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Kricketune before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Kricketune. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the grass foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
If you are collecting Kricketune
When you go to buy Kricketune, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Kricketune, so price the specific copy in front of you.
