Piloswine · Skyridge, what to know.
About the Piloswine card
Numbered 24 of 182 in Skyridge, released in May 2003, Piloswine is a Rare, 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.

What is Piloswine worth?
Piloswine is a non-holo Rare. In Skyridge, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Piloswine trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure 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
On Piloswine, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Piloswine in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Piloswine
For Piloswine, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Piloswine can make sense.
