Xatu

Numbered 52 of 75 in Neo Discovery, released in June 2001, Xatu is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 70 HP.

It evolves from Natu, so Xatu is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Xatu carries this Pokédex flavor text: "In South America, it is said that its right eye sees the future and its left eye views the past."

Xatu 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.

Neo Discovery produced 1st Edition, Unlimited prints. For Xatu, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.

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