# Dragonite (Japanese) #094 — Base Expansion Pack

## Summary

Months before the English set arrived, Japanese players had this Dragonite, released in December 2001 and carried over to English in Expedition Base Set in September 2002. The e-Card era design wraps it in a yellow frame, and the artwork has the dragon in flight with orange-gold scales and green wings against a pale sky. As a plain Rare in the Japanese Base Expansion Pack, it sits in the mid-tier, so demand comes from Dragonite fans rather than chase pressure. The modelled guide sits at $145 with 3 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with CGC 10s at $1,050 and a 25% observed gem rate putting about $430 of expected profit per submission.
