# Frogadier (Japanese) #013 — XY Beginning Set

## Summary

Japan got Frogadier through the XY Beginning Set in November 2013, a starter-style product built around Kalos's first partner Pokémon, and the English Kalos Starter Set carrying the same card came out the same day, so there was no early-bird window here. The art catches Frogadier mid-crouch in blue and white, its foam scarf flaring beside a rocky, sunlit shoreline. As a mid-evolution Water card from a beginner product, it is easy to find and priced for the casual Greninja fan. The modelled guide sits at $2.00 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $50 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
