Printed on the card, the Qwilfish Pokédex entry reads: "The small spikes covering its body developed from scales. They inject a toxin that causes fainting."
What is Qwilfish worth?
Qwilfish 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 Qwilfish before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Qwilfish 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 Qwilfish
Raw copies of Qwilfish are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Qwilfish is the practical move.
