Inteleon · Evolving Skies, what to know.
About the Inteleon card
Inteleon is card 227 of 237 in Evolving Skies, released in August 2021, a Rare Secret. It is a Stage 2 Water-type with 150 HP.
As a Stage 2, it evolves from Drizzile, which places Inteleon deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The Pokédex entry printed on Inteleon reads: "Its nictitating membranes let it pick out foes' weak points so it can precisely blast them with water that shoots from its fingertips at Mach 3."
What is Inteleon worth?
Inteleon is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies'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, Evolving Skies 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 Inteleon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Inteleon, surface is the grade cap. The water foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
If you are collecting Inteleon
If you are buying Inteleon, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the Inteleon against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
