Wattrel · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Wattrel card
Numbered 78 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Wattrel is a Common, a Basic Lightning-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Wattrel needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Wattrel carries this Pokédex flavor text: "When its wings catch the wind, the bones within produce electricity. This Pokémon dives into the ocean, catching prey by electrocuting them."
What is Wattrel worth?
Wattrel 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 Wattrel before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Wattrel 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 Wattrel
Raw copies of Wattrel are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Wattrel is the practical move.
