Venonat is that fuzzy little insect Pokemon most of us remember evolving into Venomoth, and this common printing comes from Base Set 2, the 2000 set that reintroduced a lot of classic first-generation cards to a new wave of collectors. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, it's not a flashy card, but if you're searching Venonat value because you found one in an old binder, the short answer is that raw copies sit right around $1. It's a nice piece of early Pokemon history even if it was never meant to be a big money card.

The collector's take on Venonat
Is Venonat worth grading?
Here's the honest picture on Venonat price when it comes to grading: a raw copy runs about $1, a PSA 10 sits at $46, and a Grade 9 actually comes in a bit higher at $55. That PSA 10 figure works out to roughly 46 times the raw value, which sounds like a big jump, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that math fast on a card this inexpensive. What's worth noticing here is that Grade 9 outpricing PSA 10 tells you gem mint status alone isn't a guaranteed payday for a common like this. For a card like Venonat, grading only really makes sense if you already own a copy in sharp condition and want to see where it lands, not as a way to chase profit.
How rare is Venonat?
Across every copy that's ever been submitted, only 341 Venonats have been graded, and of those, 78 came back a perfect PSA 10. That's a solid chunk of the population hitting gem mint, which tells you this card, while old, isn't brutally hard to find in great shape when people do send it in. The bigger story is that most Venonats simply never get graded at all since it's a common from a set that wasn't chased for high grades the way holos were, so the population numbers reflect a small, dedicated slice of collectors rather than the card's true scarcity in the wild.
Where can you pull Venonat?
We've tracked Venonat getting pulled 99 times across pack sites like courtyard, tilt-rips, mnstr, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $200, well above what the card normally trades for raw. It's shown up in a mix of packs, from the Pokémon Starter Pack and Pokemon Dime Pack to the Pokémon Master Pack, Pack 2, and the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it's not tied to one specific product. That said, it's a common card, so most of the value in these packs comes from something else in the rip, and it's worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble where the odds usually favor the house, not the buyer.
