Piloswine · Astral Radiance, what to know.
About the Piloswine card
Numbered 32 of 216 in Astral Radiance, released in May 2022, Piloswine is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Swinub, so Piloswine is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Piloswine carries this Pokédex flavor text: "If it charges at an enemy, the hairs on its back stand up straight. It is very sensitive to sound."
What is Piloswine worth?
Piloswine 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 Piloswine before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Piloswine 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 Piloswine
Raw copies of Piloswine are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Piloswine is the practical move.
