Sunflora · Neo Genesis, what to know.
About the Sunflora card
Numbered 50 of 111 in Neo Genesis, released in December 2000, Sunflora is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Sunkern, so Sunflora is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
Printed on the card, the Sunflora Pokédex entry reads: "It converts sunlight into energy. In the darkness after sunset, it closes its petals and becomes still."
What is Sunflora worth?
Sunflora 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
Neo Genesis produced 1st Edition, Unlimited prints. For Sunflora, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Sunflora 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 Sunflora
Raw copies of Sunflora are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Sunflora is the practical move.
