Clauncher · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Clauncher card
Numbered 49 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Clauncher is a Common, a Basic Water-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Clauncher needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Clauncher Pokédex entry reads: "Clauncher's claws will regrow if they fall off. The meat inside the claws is edible, but it has a distinct flavor that doesn't appeal to all tastes."
What is Clauncher worth?
Clauncher 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 Clauncher before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Clauncher 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 Clauncher
Raw copies of Clauncher are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Clauncher is the practical move.
