Venusaur · 44 cards · 1999–2025
How much is a Venusaur card worth?
Ungraded, Venusaur cards run from $2 to $1,176 on PriceCharting. Across the 46 priced Venusaur cards on this page (a 1st Edition or Shadowless printing counts as its own card), the middle one is about $25 ungraded; 12 are $100 or more and 7 are under $5. The dearest is Venusaur, Base Set #15, 1st Edition at about $1,176 ungraded and $35,380 in a PSA 10.Prices from PriceCharting, pulled 8 September to 16 October 2026.
Counting cards that name it first, there are 44 English Venusaur cards, spread over 28 sets between 1999 and 2025. The first was Venusaur in Base Set, 9 January 1999, drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita in the very first English sets. 4 of them come from 1999–2000, and those trade in a different world from everything printed since — which is why one number for “Venusaur” means nothing until you know which of the 44 you are holding.
Condition decides most of it. The figures above are for ungraded cards. The same card graded is a different market entirely — the dearest Venusaur here reaches $35,380 in a PSA 10 slab. A PSA 10 is a flawless grade and it is the exception, not what to expect of a card that has been in a binder — on this page a PSA 10 is a median 25 times the same card ungraded. Every card below shows both ends, raw and graded, so you can see which band yours could sit in.
What we pay is a different number again. These are what collectors pay each other. A buyer pays less than that, because a buyer takes on the waiting, the fees and the risk — which is why you get our number on the phone, in one call, before anything is posted.
Spaced by ratio, not by dollars, so the cheap end stays readable. Tap a handle to jump to that card. 1 of the 44 Venusaur cards has no price on file. Prices from PriceCharting, pulled 8 September to 16 October 2026.

Figures marked est. sit at a fixed multiple of another grade for the same card on PriceCharting — for example SGC 10 at 0.6 times the PSA 10 — so treat them as approximate, not as a separate run of sales. PriceCharting’s Grade 9 is a PSA or BGS 9; its Grade 9.5 is a BGS 9.5.
Every one of them, with a picture
44 English Venusaur cards, oldest first.
The set name and the number at the bottom of the card are what tell one Venusaur from the other 43 — there are 3 different cards called “Venusaur” in Expedition Base Set alone. Each one shows both ends — what it trades for ungraded, and what it reaches in a PSA 10 slab. Tap a card for the grades in between and what to read down the phone. The 2 Venusaur cards from 1st Edition era sets list each printing on its own row — 1st Edition, Shadowless where Base Set had one, and Unlimited — and the picture on those tiles is the 1st Edition. Not counted here: Venusaur is also named on “Celebi & Venusaur-GX” (4 printings), filed with the Celebi cards.

What decides the number
Five things about your Venusaur, in order of how much they matter.
- Which printing. Venusaur spans 28 sets, from Base Set in 1999 to Mega Evolution in 2025, and the set symbol beside the picture is what tells one from another before anything else about the card is worth discussing.
- First edition and shadowless. 2 of the 44 come from sets printed in a 1st Edition run, and on a Venusaur of that age the small “1 Edition” stamp left of the art, or a Base Set frame throwing no drop shadow down the right of the picture, changes the price, often several times over. On PriceCharting the 1st Edition Venusaur from Base Set is about $1,176 ungraded against $74 for the Unlimited one, 16 times as much.
- Which card type. A Venusaur EX and a Venusaur Mega EX are different cards that happen to share a name — Venusaur has been printed as 11 types in all, so the word beside Venusaur at the top decides which of the 44 you own.
- Promo stamps. 6 of the 44 Venusaur cards were promos rather than pack pulls, and a black star, a tournament stamp or a set-launch mark in the corner is what separates one Venusaur promo from another with the same picture.
- The Radiant one. 1 Venusaur card carries the Radiant treatment — if the word Radiant sits before Venusaur on your card, that is the first thing to tell us.
- The commonest rarity among Venusaur cards is Rare Holo — 9 of the 44.
- 5ban Graphics has illustrated Venusaur more than anyone else, 7 times.
- Expedition Base Set carries the most Venusaur cards of any single set (3).
- Venusaur has been printed under 11 card types, among them EX, Mega EX, Tag Team, ex (modern), Mega ex, V, owner’s card, Dark, ex (2003–07), VMAX.
- No English Venusaur card of any kind was printed in the 2 years between 2009 and 2012.
- 4 of the 44 Venusaur cards come from 1999–2000, the printings collectors ask after most.
- 21 different illustrators have drawn Venusaur.
- 26 years separate the first Venusaur card from the newest.
Want to sell your Venusaur? Whether it is Venusaur, Base Set #15, 1st Edition or one of the other 43, you get a price on the phone from the person who buys it. If your Venusaur is one card in a binder of them, how to sell a Pokémon card collection walks through the call, the shipping and the filmed offer. Already slabbed? Here is how selling a graded Venusaur card works.
If the card in front of you turns out not to be a Venusaur, the other two Kanto starters have pages of their own: Charizard (101 cards) and Blastoise (45 cards).
