Skrelp · Crown Zenith, what to know.
About the Skrelp card
Numbered 81 of 160 in Crown Zenith, released in January 2023, Skrelp is a Common, a Basic Darkness-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Skrelp needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Skrelp Pokédex entry reads: "It drifts in the ocean, blending in with floating seaweed. When other Pokémon come to feast on the seaweed, Skrelp feasts on them instead."
What is Skrelp worth?
Skrelp 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 Skrelp before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Skrelp 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 Skrelp
Raw copies of Skrelp are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Skrelp is the practical move.
