Every character in the Pokemon TCG deserves recognition for their most valuable cards, even oft-forgotten Pokemon, like Weezing. As one of Team Rocket’s most iconic partner Pokemon, Weezing’s presence in the Pokemon anime is well-documented, but it rarely sees the same level of representation in the Pokemon TCG.

Return to the Kanto region and find the most valuable cards in Scarlet & Violet: 151.
Despite a relatively average collection of cards, Weezing’s most valuable versions offer unusually detailed and stylized depictions of this Poison-type Pokemon. If you’re a fan of Weezing or Team Rocket, then you’ll be ecstatic to know that many of the best Weezing cards are affordable, and won’t break the bank to collect them all.
Cards are ordered according to their TCGPlayer Market Price, the average price you might pay for a copy of the (first edition, where applicable) cards below.
Given the age and rarity of these cards, only those with an established market price on TCGplayer are included.
However, sale prices differ depending on the card’s condition, so this market price is just a rough idea of the card’s value.

Weezing: Fossil First Edition (Uncommon) – $1.81
A Humble Start
Fossil is best known for its chase cards like Dragonite, but Weezing also appears in this storied set, standing out as one of the better Uncommon cards. As a set that comes in first edition and unlimited print runs, the former boasts a higher value for this Weezing card.
Moderately played (MP) first edition copies start around 68 cents, while the price for lightly played (LP) copies range from $1.25 to just over $1.50. At the high end of the spectrum, you can expect to shell out closer to $2.20 for a near-mint (NM) copy, though some (potentially mislabeled) NM copies failed to break the one dollar mark.

Galarian Weezing: Shining Fates (Shiny Holo Rare) – $2.39
The Lone Modern Weezing
Galarian Weezing makes an appearance as the sole modern entry among the most valuable Weezing cards. Shining Fates celebrates shiny Pokemon in all their glory, and this Pokemon gets some unexpected love in the set as one of the affectionately dubbed “baby shinies”.
However, despite a decent showing among its peers, this card’s price chart shows a distinct downward trend, taking it from the three dollar mark to its current price. While the drop isn’t significant in a vacuum, a card at this price point losing 60 cents in value still represents a roughly 20 percent decline.

Koga’s Weezing: Gym Challenge First Edition (Uncommon) – $2.70
The Calm Before The Storm
While Koga’s Weezing is a long way off from the most valuable cards in Gym Challenge, this combination of trainer and Pokemon is incredibly appropriate, but unfortunately not incredibly popular. Popularity aside, there’s no doubt that the first edition version commands a much higher value than the unlimited version.
NM copies set the ceiling at around $3.24, with LP copies falling by about a dollar to the two dollar mark, with some sinking to $1.62. However, MP copies stay surprisingly close to the bottom end of an LP’s range, giving an unexpectedly small discount between conditions – you might as well go for an NM copy at these prices.

Dark Weezing: Team Rocket First Edition (Holo Rare) – $25.57
Ballooning In Price
Dark Weezing takes a giant leap above the other Weezing cards thus far, as this gem from Team Rocket exceeds the prior entry by over $20. While many of the most valuable cards from Team Rocket boast impressive values, this card is equally impressive due to the massive deviation from Weezing’s standard costs.
As per usual, the first edition version towers over the unlimited, as even damaged first edition copies sell for more than NM unlimited copies. NM first edition copies of this card can reach heights of $50, with a massive drop to $16 for LP, followed by MP copies ranging from nine dollars to $16.

Weezing: Expedition (Holo Rare) – $63.20
The Top Weezing
The Weezing from Expedition claims the throne as the best Weezing card of all time, boasting one of the most unusual depictions of this Pokemon that we’ve ever seen. While most other depictions thus far feature softer, anime-esque designs, this hyperrealistic look at Weezing makes us terrified of the thought of this Pokemon coming to life.
While the best cards in Expedition feature a blend of holo and reverse holo cards, the clear winner here is the Weezing holo version, sitting at over double the cost of the reverse in NM conditions. At the top end of the holo spectrum, NM cards sell for as much as $69.99, with LP cards clocking in at around $36, followed by heavily played (HP) copies commanding around $20.
