# Walrein (Japanese) #014 — BW5: Dragon Blade

## Summary

Walrein is the sort of Pokémon fans keep rooting for: a bulky, tusked Hoenn ice-water type that has carried a loyal following since the Ruby and Sapphire days. Released in Japan in March 2012, this Japanese Dragon Blade Walrein reached collectors months before Dragons Exalted gave English players the same card. It sits in the uncommon tier, a solid mid-pull, and it shows the walrus surfacing in pale blue water. A $0.95 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $59 against $45 in grading fees.
