How rare is Victreebel?

What does grading actually do for Victreebel?
Grading seals Victreebel in a tamper-evident slab with a certified condition score. For a solid-rare card from Aquapolis, that certification is what separates a “mint-looking” copy from a provably mint one — and buyers pay for the difference.
Which grade would move the needle most for Victreebel?
The jump from a 9 to a 10 is where most of the premium lives. Because Victreebel is a solid-rare card, centring, edges and surface all matter — inspect it honestly before paying to grade.
