Wailmer · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Wailmer card
Numbered 31 of 203 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020, Wailmer is a Common, a Basic Water-type carrying 100 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Wailmer needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Wailmer Pokédex entry reads: "It shows off by spraying jets of seawater from the nostrils above its eyes. It eats a solid ton of Wishiwashi every day."
What is Wailmer worth?
Wailmer 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 Wailmer before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Wailmer 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 Wailmer
Raw copies of Wailmer are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Wailmer is the practical move.
