Grotle · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Grotle card
Grotle is card 7 of 186 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Grass-type with 100 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Turtwig, which places Grotle deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Grotle a line of lore: "It knows where pure water wells up. It carries fellow Pokémon there on its back."
What is Grotle worth?
Grotle 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 Grotle before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grotle 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 Grotle
Raw copies of Grotle are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Grotle is the practical move.
