Rufflet · Astral Radiance, what to know.
About the Rufflet card
Numbered 131 of 216 in Astral Radiance, released in May 2022, Rufflet is a Common, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Rufflet needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Rufflet Pokédex entry reads: "Its chick-like looks belie its hotheadedness. It challenges its parents at every opportunity, desperate to prove its strength."
What is Rufflet worth?
Rufflet is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Rufflet before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Rufflet is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Rufflet
Raw copies of Rufflet are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Rufflet is the practical move.
