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 Spinarak

- x2Fire, Flying, Psychic and Rock
- ½xPoison, Bug and Fairy
- ¼xGrass and Fighting, double resistance
This is the video game chart, not the card game.
