# Phanpy (Japanese) #004 — Master Kit (Torchic)

## Summary

Phanpy here is a modest slot in a Japanese product built around Torchic, a starter-themed kit rather than a booster chase, so the card sits well outside the rare-hunting conversation and works as a charming extra for Johto fans. The Japanese edition of this Master Kit Phanpy arrived in July 2005, long before the English Holon Phantoms set carried a Phanpy in May 2006. That head start gives collectors an earlier-era printing to track. The modelled guide sits at $3.00; no PSA population is on file.
