Spidops ex · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Spidops ex card
Numbered 19 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Spidops ex is a Double Rare, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 260 HP.
It evolves from Tarountula, so Spidops ex is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Spidops ex carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The thread it secretes from its rear is as strong as wire. The secret behind the thread's strength is the topic of ongoing research."
What is Spidops ex worth?
Spidops ex 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 Spidops ex before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Spidops ex comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Spidops ex can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Spidops ex
When you go to buy Spidops ex, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Spidops ex, so price the specific copy in front of you.
