Scovillain · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Scovillain card
Numbered 202 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Scovillain is an Illustration Rare, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 110 HP.
It evolves from Capsakid, so Scovillain is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Scovillain Pokédex entry reads: "The green head has turned vicious due to the spicy chemicals stimulating its brain. Once it goes on a rampage, there is no stopping it."
What is Scovillain worth?
Scovillain is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Scarlet & Violet'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, Scarlet & Violet 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 Scovillain before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Scovillain, surface is the grade cap. The grass 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.
