# Voltorb (Japanese) #028 — S6a: Eevee Heroes

## Summary

Voltorb is a plain common in Japanese Eevee Heroes, bulk by rank but a quiet pleasure for anyone who likes a Poke Ball that bites back. The art puts the round red-and-white ball against a swirl of blue, green and yellow scribble, with a cross expression that suits its explosive attack. Japan received the set in May 2021, months ahead of Fusion Strike, which carries the English Voltorb in November 2021. A $0.26 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 15 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,743 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $41, 158 times raw, but a 100% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
