# Litwick (Japanese) #012 — BW3: Hail Blizzard

## Summary

Japanese collectors had Litwick in September 2011, months ahead of the English Next Destinies set in February 2012, which makes this Japanese Hail Blizzard common an early look at the Candle Pokémon. The white wisp floats in a dark, mossy forest ringed with red flowers, its purple flame glowing overhead against the orange Fire-type frame. As a plain common it is a bulk pull, but a charming one. The modelled guide sits at $1.00 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
