Seaking · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Seaking card
Numbered 47 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Seaking is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 110 HP.
It evolves from Goldeen, so Seaking is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Shibuzoh..
Seaking carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Using its horn, it bores holes in riverbed boulders, making nests to prevent its eggs from washing away."

What is Seaking worth?
Seaking 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 Seaking before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Seaking 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 Seaking
Raw copies of Seaking are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Seaking is the practical move.
