Taillow · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Taillow card
Numbered 133 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Taillow is a Common, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Taillow needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Taillow Pokédex entry reads: "It dislikes cold seasons. They migrate to other lands in search of warmth, flying over 180 miles a day."
What is Taillow worth?
Taillow 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 Taillow before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Taillow 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 Taillow
Raw copies of Taillow are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Taillow is the practical move.
