Snivy #495

Snivy is the Grass Snake Pokemon and Unova's most self-satisfied starter — the smug little serpent that launched countless Black & White playthroughs. On cardboard its value is carried less by its own cards than by a famous team-up: the Venusaur & Snivy-GX Tag Team that pairs Unova's grass starter with Kanto's original.

01Top 10 Notable Snivy Cards

Snivy's Top 10 is a tale of two grass types. The priciest cards are all the Venusaur & Snivy-GX Tag Team from the 2019 Cosmic Eclipse era — promo, Full Art, and rainbow secret — while Snivy's own promos, McDonald's cards, and Black & White commons fill out the affordable back half.

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — SM Black Star Promos #SM229
Rank 01 · The Holy Grail

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — SM Black Star Promos #SM229

The most valuable card with Snivy's name on it — and it shares the spotlight with a Kanto legend. This SM229 promo was the special-collection version of the Venusaur & Snivy-GX Tag Team, and promos of marquee Tag Teams often outrun their set printings, which is exactly how a humble grass starter ended up anchored to an ~$87 card.

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — Cosmic Eclipse #249
Rank 02

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — Cosmic Eclipse #249

The rainbow secret rare of the Tag Team, from 2019's massive Cosmic Eclipse — the set that closed the Sun & Moon era on a Tag-Team high. Rainbow rares were the era's ultimate chase, and this one keeps Snivy in premium company.

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — Cosmic Eclipse #210
Rank 03

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — Cosmic Eclipse #210

The Full Art version of the Tag Team, all dramatic borderless artwork pairing Venusaur's bulk with Snivy's smirk. It is the collector's-choice middle tier — pricier than the playable base copy, gentler than the rainbow — and a gorgeous showcase of the Tag-Team format at its peak.

Snivy — Black Bolt #87
Rank 04

Snivy — Black Bolt #87

Snivy's most valuable solo card, a 2025 Black Bolt printing that rode the wave of nostalgia for the original Black & White era. Modern throwback sets have a habit of making even basic-stage starters desirable again, and this is the rare case of Snivy commanding real money on its own merits.

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — Cosmic Eclipse #1
Rank 05

Venusaur & Snivy-GX — Cosmic Eclipse #1

The base playable version of the Tag Team — card #1 of Cosmic Eclipse, the literal front of the set. This is the copy deck-builders actually used when Venusaur & Snivy-GX saw play, and it remains the most affordable way into the team-up that drives this whole list.

Snivy — McDonald's Collection 2011 #1
Rank 06

Snivy — McDonald's Collection 2011 #1

A Happy Meal classic from the 2011 McDonald's promo set that introduced a generation of kids to Unova. Printed in huge numbers but beloved out of proportion to their rarity, a clean Snivy is a cheap, charming piece of Black & White launch history.

Rank 07

Snivy — BW Black Star Promos #BW06

One of Snivy's earliest promos, handed out at the dawn of the Black & White era when Unova's starters were the new faces of the franchise. BW06 is pure 2011 nostalgia and an easy grab for anyone building a Snivy run from the start.

Snivy — Legendary Treasures #RC1
Rank 08

Snivy — Legendary Treasures #RC1

The very first card of the Radiant Collection, the beloved mini-set tucked inside 2013's Legendary Treasures. Earning the RC1 slot made Snivy a kind of mascot for that fan-favorite subset, and the crisp, glossy styling still makes it a standout common.

Snivy — BW Black Star Promos #BW01
Rank 09

Snivy — BW Black Star Promos #BW01

The first numbered promo of the entire Black & White promo series — BW01 — which makes this little Snivy a genuine piece of Gen-5 history. Being card number one of a new era's promo run gives it collector appeal well beyond its modest price.

Snivy — Black & White #2
Rank 10

Snivy — Black & White #2

Snivy's debut card, #2 in the original 2011 Black & White base set — about as ground-floor as it gets. It is a bulk common today, but it is the actual first main-set Snivy, the starting point every other card on this list builds from.
