Shroomish · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Shroomish card
Numbered 3 of 186 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022, Shroomish is a Common, a Basic Grass-type carrying 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Shroomish needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Shroomish Pokédex entry reads: "It spouts poison spores from the top of its head. These spores cause pain all over if inhaled."
What is Shroomish worth?
Shroomish 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 Shroomish before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Shroomish 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 Shroomish
Raw copies of Shroomish are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Shroomish is the practical move.
