Scorbunny · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Scorbunny card
Numbered 31 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Scorbunny is a Common, a Basic Fire-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Scorbunny needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
Scorbunny carries this Pokédex flavor text: "A warm-up of running around gets fire energy coursing through this Pokémon's body. Once that happens, it's ready to fight at full power."
What is Scorbunny worth?
Scorbunny 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 Scorbunny before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Scorbunny 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 Scorbunny
Raw copies of Scorbunny are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Scorbunny is the practical move.
