Floatzel · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Floatzel card
Numbered 39 of 186 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022, Floatzel is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 110 HP.
It evolves from Buizel, so Floatzel is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Floatzel Pokédex entry reads: "Its flotation sac developed as a result of pursuing aquatic prey. It can double as a rubber raft."
What is Floatzel worth?
Floatzel 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 Floatzel before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Floatzel 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 Floatzel
Raw copies of Floatzel are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Floatzel is the practical move.
