About Venonat in the Pokémon world
A purple insect Pokémon with large eyes. Jungle Common with limited collector interest.
What is Venonat worth?
Venonat 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 Venonat before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Venonat is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Venonat
Raw copies of Venonat are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Venonat is the practical move.
