About this card

Background compiled from public web sources. Check it before you buy or sell.

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 2/10

Available search results establish the card's set and common rarity but do not provide enough confirmed sales history to demonstrate a price trend.

Next months. Unclear; no dependable recent high sale or average transaction range was found.

Long term. Likely to remain a low-priced set-filler unless a particular variant or collector demand develops; this is uncertain without sales data.

History

Spheal is Pokémon species #0363.

The identified card, Spheal 040/208, is listed in the Simplified Chinese Stellar Crystal set, released May 15, 2026.

The set list identifies 040/208 as Spheal and classifies it as Common (C), not Holo Rare.
Common, uncommon, and rare cards in Stellar Crystal have Poké Ball and Master Ball reverse-holo variants.

Rarity and print run

Tier: Common (C), according to set listings; the supplied H rarity is unverified.
Print run: High
First printed in: Stellar Crystal (Simplified Chinese, CSV9C)
Demand: Low
Supply: Abundant

The set listing classifies the numbered card as Common.
The set provides two reverse-holo motif variants for common cards, which are distinct variants rather than evidence of a scarce print run.

Collector notes

Condition. Check corners, edges, surface scratches, and centering; distinguish the standard card from any Poké Ball or Master Ball reverse-holo variant.

Storage. Store in a clean sleeve and rigid holder, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Authenticity. Verify the Simplified Chinese card, set code CSV9C, and number 040/208. The supplied rarity H conflicts with published set listings, which identify the standard Spheal as Common (C); inspect the physical card and variant before assigning rarity.
