Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

New 2026 release with steady ungraded pricing around $7-10; anniversary hype sustains interest without rapid appreciation.

Next months. Stable at $8-12 ungraded as supply circulates from initial collections.

Long term. Gradual rise to $15-25+ for high-grade copies driven by nostalgia and anniversary scarcity.

History

Rowlet is the Grass-type Grass Quill Pokémon introduced as the first partner Pokémon of the Alola region in Pokémon Sun and Moon. As a Basic Pokémon, it evolves into Dartrix and then Decidueye, known for its leaf-like feathers used as projectiles and its owl-like appearance, holding cultural significance as the starter representing Alola's starter trio alongside Litten and Popplio.

First released on March 20, 2026, as an MEP Black Star Promotional card in the First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1 internationally and in the '30th Anniversary Celebration — First Partner Pokémon Special Illustration Holofoil Card Set Vol. 1' in mainland China.

  • Pokédex entry from Pokémon Sun; moves include Tackle (20 damage, Colorless type).

Collector notes

Condition. Inspect for centering on Full Art holofoil pattern, edge wear from promo packaging, surface scratches on illustration, and print defects on 30th Anniversary stamp; common flaws include off-centering and holo bleed.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loader with sleeve in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to preserve holofoil and anniversary stamp; avoid stacking with heavier cards.

Authenticity. Verify Black Star Promo stamp, exact Saboteri illustration details, correct font on 30th Anniversary logo, and holofoil pattern matching official scans; check for thin card stock or blurry printing on fakes.
