Blipbug · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Blipbug card
Numbered 17 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Blipbug is a Common, a Basic Grass-type carrying 40 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Blipbug needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Blipbug Pokédex entry reads: "A constant collector of information, this Pokémon is very smart. Very strong is what it isn't."
What is Blipbug worth?
Blipbug 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 Blipbug before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Blipbug 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 Blipbug
Raw copies of Blipbug are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Blipbug is the practical move.
