Espathra · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Espathra card
Numbered 103 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Espathra is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 110 HP.
It evolves from Flittle, so Espathra is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Espathra carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It immobilizes opponents by bathing them in psychic power from its large eyes. Despite its appearance, it has a vicious temperament."
What is Espathra worth?
Espathra 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 Espathra before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Espathra 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 Espathra
Raw copies of Espathra are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Espathra is the practical move.
