# Potion (Japanese) #130 — Pokemon VS

## Summary

Japanese Pokémon VS, which reached shelves in August 2001, was one of the first sets to build its game around fixed battle decks, and the Potion in it is the sort of Trainer a Japanese player of that era tucked into a deck as routine healing. As a common it was never a chase slot, so a Japanese Potion from this set matters mostly to collectors who want the full run of a quirky early-2000s release, and its low rarity keeps it a humble pickup. The modelled guide sits at $2.99, down 16% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, with 2,455 days of inventory sitting on the board; no PSA population is on file.
