# Groudon (Japanese) #006 — S8a: 25th Anniversary Collection

## Summary

Groudon is the Hoenn titan that anchors Ruby and its remakes, and fans keep returning to the red behemoth for the sheer weight of the Primal Reversion story. On this Japanese 25th Anniversary Collection card it stands armoured in crimson and black against a smoky orange sky, with Team Magma's leader beside it. Japan's set landed in October 2021, two weeks after Celebrations carried the same card in English. A $0.78 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $17 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
