# Shaymin (Japanese) #081 — S12: Paradigm Trigger

## Summary

Japanese collectors had Paradigm Trigger in October 2022, a good three months before Shaymin appeared in English through Crown Zenith in January 2023, so this Japanese Shaymin came first, as Japanese sets usually do. It is a plain common, but the painting is a charmer: the white hedgehog-like Land Forme stands in a sunlit forest glade, green leaves swept across its back. At this tier the card is a pleasant bulk pull, not a chase slot. A $0.12 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
