# Shaymin (Japanese) #003 — M3: Nihil Zero

## Summary

Shaymin sits at uncommon in the Japanese M3: Nihil Zero set, a mid-low slot that every pack opener will see but few will chase. The art is the draw: the Land Forme sits in a sunlit tangle of leaves, white fur and a red scarf set against bright green. Japan got it in January 2026, ahead of the Perfect Order release that carries the English Shaymin in March, so early copies are an easy way to get in first. A $0.13 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 guides at about $37 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
