Galvantula #596

Galvantula — the EleSpider Pokémon, the fully-evolved Bug/Electric tarantula that grows much, much bigger than its 0.1m pre-evolution. A genuine Gen-5 OU competitive sleeper thanks to Compound Eyes + Thunder + Sticky Web — Galvantula was the original premier Sticky-Web setter for years. Real card depth: the 2024 Stellar Crown Galvantula ex SAR and the 2025 White Flare IR are both at $19 (perfectly tied).

01Top 10 Notable Galvantula Cards

Galvantula's Top 10 has a remarkable twin-chase tie at the top — the 2024 Stellar Crown Galvantula ex SAR and the 2025 White Flare Illustration Rare both at $19, exactly dead even. Behind them, a stretch of modern Galvantula ex prints from Stellar Crown plus BW-era and XY-era reprints. A solid mid-tier flagship list for the spider.

Rank 02

The 2025 throwback chase. White Flare's Illustration Rare gives the EleSpider adult a painterly modern showcase — sitting practically dead-even with the Stellar Crown SAR as the line's second modern chase.
