Eldegoss · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Eldegoss card
Numbered 21 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Eldegoss is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Gossifleur, so Eldegoss is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
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.
Eldegoss carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The cotton on the head of this Pokémon can be spun into a glossy, gorgeous yarn—a Galar regional specialty."
What is Eldegoss worth?
Eldegoss 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 Eldegoss before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Eldegoss 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 Eldegoss
Raw copies of Eldegoss are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Eldegoss is the practical move.
