07Why Collectors Want It

  • One of the most beloved Illustration Rares of the Scarlet & Violet era — Sabetoń's playful pool-party artwork drove demand far beyond a typical Stage-1 card.
  • Full-art Illustration Rare (148/142), numbered beyond the printed set total — the scarce pull tier of Stellar Crown.
  • Raw NM copies realize ~$118 and PSA 10s ~$453 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026) — the most valuable Squirtle card in the database.
  • Collected as art as much as a Squirtle: a popular standalone display piece and a must-have for any Squirtle master set.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Squirtle with 60 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Illustration Rare; PSA 10 population is climbing as collectors submit chase cards.

Centering and surface are the usual PSA 10 gatekeepers on full-art IRs; PSA 10 ~$453 against raw ~$118 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Other graders: CGC submissions trend up for modern IRs; PSA remains the resale standard.
