Zigzagoon · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Zigzagoon card
Numbered 167 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Zigzagoon is a Common, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Zigzagoon needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
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.
Zigzagoon carries this Pokédex flavor text: "A Pokémon with abundant curiosity. It shows an interest in everything, so it always zigzags."
What is Zigzagoon worth?
Zigzagoon 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 Zigzagoon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Zigzagoon 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 Zigzagoon
Raw copies of Zigzagoon are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Zigzagoon is the practical move.
