Hisuian Sneasler · Astral Radiance, what to know.
About the Hisuian Sneasler card
Numbered 93 of 216 in Astral Radiance, released in May 2022, Hisuian Sneasler is a Rare Holo, a Stage 1 Darkness-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Hisuian Sneasel, so Hisuian Sneasler is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Hisuian Sneasler carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Because of Sneasler's virulent poison and daunting physical prowess, no other species could hope to best it on the frozen highlands. Preferring solitude, this species does not form packs."
What is Hisuian Sneasler worth?
Hisuian Sneasler is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Astral Radiance's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Astral Radiance holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Hisuian Sneasler before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Hisuian Sneasler lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The darkness foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Hisuian Sneasler
When you go to buy Hisuian Sneasler, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Hisuian Sneasler, so price the specific copy in front of you.
