07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Delta Species (δ) print — the EX-era's alternate-typing experiment, where Weedle took on a non-Bug typing for the duration of the δ run.
  • Reverse-holo raw ~$21 vs. PSA 10 ~$281 — a ~13× grading multiple, one of the more efficient grading flips on the early Bug-line board.
  • EX-era reverse-holo foil downgrades on surface scuffs and edge nicks, so gem-mint copies have stayed scarce.
  • A required pickup for Delta Species completionists and a sleeper Beedrill-line chase entry.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Weedle with 50 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

String Shot Cost: Colorless · 10 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
