About Hoothoot #163

Hoothoot is card #163 from Japanese Gold, Silver, New World, a Japanese-language release, released on February 4, 2000. It is part of the vintage era of the original Japanese releases (1996–2003), which came out before their English counterparts. Ungraded, it ranks 90th of the 107 Japanese Gold, Silver, New World cards we track. The top card is Booster Box at €61,202.

Character and collecting appeal

Hoothoot can be approached as a character collectible and as an entry in its named release. For set builders, the exact card number matters; for character collectors, it helps distinguish this version from other appearances of the same Pokémon.

Version and identification

Look for the printed number #163 and the Japanese Gold, Silver, New World set symbol to confirm you have this exact card, and check the text is Japanese.

Price history

Today an ungraded Hoothoot #163 sells for about €1.78, a PSA 9 for €28.51 and a PSA 10 for €262.80. We have monthly prices for this card going back to May 2022. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are up 16%, and down 18% in the last month. Its highest monthly ungraded value was €2.17 in September 2026, so it is 18% below that peak. PSA 10 copies have moved up 203% over the same 12 months.

Grading and population

A PSA 10 sells for 147.6× the ungraded price and 9.2× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself.

Investment potential

In its favour: steady demand, with ungraded prices up 16% in a year; vintage status, as cards from this era are no longer printed; an active market (37 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €1.78 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €28.51. Cards this old often show white wear on the back edges, so ask for photos of the back (what whitening means). Ask for clear photographs of both sides, verify the exact release and variant, and check for damage that may not appear in the listing title.
