Raboot · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Raboot card
Raboot sits at #33 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020. Sword & Shield is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by Akira Komayama. In the games, Raboot evolves from Scorbunny, which makes it a late-stage card in the line.
The flavor text on the card reads: "Its thick and fluffy fur protects it from the cold and enables it to use hotter fire moves." 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.
Print variants and how to spot them
Sword & Shield base shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, Full Art (V cards), and Secret Rare. The Secret Rare slot is a numbered card above the standard set total. No 1st Edition; standard modern conventions apply.
Grading and condition
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.
If you are buying this card
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.
