Staraptor · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Staraptor card
Numbered 150 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Staraptor is an Uncommon, a Stage 2 Colorless-type carrying 150 HP.
It evolves from Staravia, so Staraptor is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Staraptor Pokédex entry reads: "When Staravia evolve into Staraptor, they leave the flock to live alone. They have sturdy wings."
What is Staraptor worth?
Staraptor is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Staraptor before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Staraptor grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Staraptor
Raw copies of Staraptor are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Staraptor is the practical move.
