Venomoth · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Venomoth card
Numbered 2 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Venomoth is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Venonat, so Venomoth is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
Venomoth carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The wings are covered with dustlike scales. Every time it flaps its wings, it looses highly toxic dust."
About Venomoth in the Pokémon world
The fully evolved Venonat. Moth silhouette, dusted purple wings. Jungle holo Venomoth has small but loyal collector demand. A reasonable entry point for graded Jungle holos.
What is Venomoth worth?
Venomoth 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 Venomoth before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Venomoth 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 Venomoth
Raw copies of Venomoth are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Venomoth is the practical move.
