Araquanid · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Araquanid card
Numbered 48 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Araquanid is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Dewpider, so Araquanid is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Araquanid Pokédex entry reads: "It launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal."
What is Araquanid worth?
Araquanid 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
Confirm the print and finish on Araquanid before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Araquanid 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 Araquanid
Raw copies of Araquanid are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Araquanid is the practical move.
