Shuckle · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Shuckle card
Numbered 5 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Shuckle is a Common, a Basic Grass-type carrying 80 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Shuckle needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Shuckle carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The berries stored in its vaselike shell eventually become a thick, pulpy juice."
What is Shuckle worth?
Shuckle 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 Shuckle before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Shuckle 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 Shuckle
Raw copies of Shuckle are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Shuckle is the practical move.
