Every Bulbasaur card we could find. The priciest one we price is the Stellar Crown one at $91.21, and the cheapest is $0.85.
- The Seed Pokemon. Bulbasaur is #1 in the National Pokedex.
- First English card. Base, January 9, 1999.
- Types. Grass and Poison in the video games. A card only ever carries one type, so which one it is printed as depends on the card.
- Generation 1, Kanto. One of the 151 species that generation introduced.
- Size. 0.7m (2ft 4in) and 6.9kg (15lb).
- Capture rate 45 of 255. Higher is easier to catch. This one sits in the middle.

Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. 2 cards of the 5,396 priced here are not listed by PriceCharting and keep their TCGplayer market price via TCGdex instead. Where a card comes as a normal, holo and reverse holo at different prices, the figure is the priciest of them. Prices move daily, so treat these as a ballpark. Search every card.

In the video games
What beats Bulbasaur
Damage taken by a Grass / Poison Pokemon, computed from the type chart. Everything not listed does normal damage.
- x2Fire, Ice, Flying and Psychic
- ½xWater, Electric, Fighting and Fairy
- ¼xGrass, double resistance
This is the video game chart, not the card game. The Pokemon TCG has eleven types and no type chart at all: Weakness and Resistance are printed on each individual card, and two cards of the same Pokemon can print different ones.
