Weepinbell

Numbered 48 of 64 in Jungle, released in June 1999, Weepinbell is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 70 HP.

It evolves from Bellsprout, so Weepinbell 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.

Weepinbell carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It spits out poisonpowder to immobilize the enemy, and then finishes the enemy with a spray of acid."

The middle Bellsprout stage. Yellow flytrap silhouette. Jungle Uncommon. Thin demand.

Weepinbell 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.

Jungle shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The Edition 1 stamp under the artwork separates the scarcer 1st Edition Weepinbell from the Unlimited copy. The set also has the famous No Symbol error from its first print run, which adds a premium when the lower-right set symbol is missing.

Weepinbell 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.

Raw copies of Weepinbell are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Weepinbell is the practical move.
