# Cryogonal (Japanese) #015-team-plasma — BW8: Thunder Knuckle

## Summary

Cryogonal sits in the uncommon tier of this Japanese Thunder Knuckle set, a mid-slot pull that turns up in most boxes but never as a chase card. The Team Plasma branding gives it extra pull, with a shield emblem across the lower half and a frozen blue crystal hovering before a pale, icy cityscape. Japan saw it in December 2012, months ahead of the English Plasma Freeze card released in May 2013. The modelled guide sits at $1.58; no PSA population is on file.
