07Why Collectors Want It
- Released in 2010's HS—Unleashed, the HGSS-era set that ran second in the Johto-remake block after the HGSS base.
- A clean middle-evolution Kakuna print in the HGSS era, distributed widely through sealed product.
- Raw asking sits below $1; the headline HS—Unleashed grails are the LEGEND cards and Prime rares, not the base Bug prints.
- A foundational entry for any HGSS-era Beedrill-line collection.

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.
