Bellossom · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Bellossom card
Numbered 5 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Bellossom is a Rare, a Stage 2 Grass-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Gloom, so Bellossom is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Bellossom worth?
Bellossom is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Bellossom trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Bellossom before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Bellossom grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Bellossom is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Bellossom
For Bellossom, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Bellossom can make sense.
