Market outlook

Declining Outlook 4/10

19.3% price drop in last 30 days as of October 2025, oversupply from initial print run and waning set popularity[1]

Next months. Stable to further decline, low collector interest sustains raw prices under $15

Long term. Minimal appreciation potential, value tied to nostalgia for Gloom fans rather than broad market

History

Gloom is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon from Generation I, evolving from Oddish and into Vileplume or Bellossom. Known as the 'Weeping Pokémon,' it releases a foul odor from its wilted flower to deter foes and attracts insects with pollen, significant in Pokémon lore for its eerie, toxic appearance.

First released in the Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames set on August 11, 2023, in English; German language variant printed simultaneously as part of the global release.

• Illustration Rare featuring stunning full-art design by an artist highlighting Gloom's wilted flower and melancholic expression
• Card number 198/197 indicates Secret Rare status beyond the standard 197-card set
• Attack 'Inviting Scent' allows switching an opponent's Benched Pokémon, adding tactical utility in Grass-type decks[4]

Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on the large illustration artwork, check for print lines or scratches on the glossy flower petals, common flaws include edge whitening, surface scratches on the face, and corner dings due to thin card stock.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves for raw cards, store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent fading of vibrant colors, avoid stacking without dividers.

Authenticity. Verify holographic pattern matches official shimmer, check font alignment and numbering crispness, use blacklight for reactive inks, compare to official scans; fakes often have blurry artwork or incorrect card thickness.
