About the Snubbull card
Snubbull is card 74 of 111 in Neo Genesis, released in December 2000, a Common. It is a Basic Colorless-type with 50 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Snubbull needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.
The card's flavor text gives Snubbull a line of lore: "Although it looks frightening, it is actually kind and affectionate. It is very popular."
What is Snubbull worth?
Snubbull 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
Neo Genesis produced 1st Edition, Unlimited prints. For Snubbull, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Snubbull is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Snubbull
Raw copies of Snubbull are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Snubbull is the practical move.
