Carnivine

Carnivine sits at #12 in Crown Zenith, released in January 2023. Crown Zenith is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by Shibuzoh..

The flavor text on the card reads: "It binds itself to trees in marshes. It attracts prey with its sweet-smelling drool and gulps them down." Pokédex entries from this era are short and often quirky, written by the original Japanese localization team for a specific stat-block layout that no longer exists in modern cards.

Crown Zenith shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, V, VSTAR, and the Galarian Gallery alternate-art subset. The set was sold only in Elite Trainer Box and tin product, never in standard booster packs, which gives sealed Crown Zenith product a different supply-and-demand profile from the rest of the SWSH era.

Modern Uncommons grade cleanly. The secondary market for graded modern Uncommons is mostly set-completionist driven; standalone demand is thin. Useful as a first grading submission to learn the process.

Raw copies of this card are inexpensive enough that the grading math rarely justifies submission unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completionists, picking up a clean raw copy and sleeving it is the practical move.
