# Boldore (Japanese) #028 — BW5: Dragon Blade

## Summary

Boldore is the middle stage of the Roggenrola line, the Unova rock-type that fans know for its glowing orange crystals and its habit of evolving into the hulking Gigalith. This Japanese common from BW5: Dragon Blade is bulk-tier, though the card is handsome, with the blue boulder body crouched before ancient stone columns under a bright sky. It reached Japan in March 2012, months ahead of its Dragons Exalted counterpart in English that August. A $0.99 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
