# Heracross (Japanese) #002 — SV: ex Start Decks

## Summary

Heracross sits at the bottom of the rarity ladder here, a plain common that exists to fill out the SV ex Start Decks rather than to chase anything. The artwork is a pleasant surprise for that tier: a blue beetle lunging through tall grass, horn lowered, on a bright green frame. Japan received it in July 2023, a month after Paldea Evolved carried the same Heracross in English, so this Japanese edition arrived second. The modelled guide sits at $4.75, down 14% on asks over 30 days with no copies traded; no PSA population is on file.
