# Ralts (Japanese) #008 — Mudkip Constructed Starter Deck

## Summary

Ralts sits at the humble end of the Japanese Mudkip Constructed Starter Deck, a Basic Pokémon common with no chase pull in sight, which is exactly why it suits a collector chasing early Hoenn printings. Released in Japan in January 2003, months before English Ruby & Sapphire arrived in July, it shows Ralts peering out from a meadow of yellow flowers, all soft greens against a purple frame. The modelled guide sits at $3.00; no PSA population is on file.
