Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$0.01 - $0.25 (Raw)
Recent Sales
This is a bulk common card with high print volume. Recent sales on TCGPlayer and eBay typically show it selling for under $0.10, often as part of bulk lots or small individual sales where shipping costs exceed card value.
Condition Details
Self-assessed as Near Mint based on visual inspection. Visible centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom. Edges and corners look relatively sharp from the angle provided, with no immediate signs of creasing or heavy surface wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card, even if it were to receive a Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
Lightning-type Basic Pokémon with 70 HP. Features the moves Gnaw (10 damage) and Electro Ball (20 damage). The artwork by Mina Nakai depicts Helioptile in a desert environment with a stylized, dot-shaded artistic design.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The font, holofoil-free surface (correct for this common), and copyright data at the bottom (©2021 Pokémon) appear consistent with authentic Sword & Shield era production.
