Attacks

Harden

During your opponent's next turn, whenever 20 or less damage is done to Metapod (after applying Weakness and Resistance), prevent that damage. (Any other effects of attacks still happen).

Hatch

Flip a coin. If heads, remove all damage counters from Metapod. Then, search your deck for a card that evolves from Metapod and attach that card to Metapod. This counts as evolving Metapod. Shuffle your deck afterward.

“Inside the shell, it is soft and weak as it prepares to evolve. It stays motionless in the shell.”

How much is Metapod #42/75 worth?

Right now (August 14, 2026) the going rate for an ungraded Metapod #42/75 from Neo Discovery is about $1.54. Across the 2 printings we track, copies run anywhere from $0.40 to $219.80 depending on the version you're holding.

Grading changes the math on this one: a PSA 10 is valued around $40.72, roughly 26.4x the raw price, while a PSA 9 sits near $9.03. 162 copies have been graded to date, and 15% of them came back a 10 — worth knowing before you pay grading fees.

Prices on this page refresh nightly from live TCGplayer market data and are cross-checked against actual sold prices, so a single inflated listing never becomes "the price". The chart above has the full history.
