# Zapdos #055/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Zapdos is one of the three Kanto bird trio Pokémon and a fan favorite, so even a common in an anniversary set gets a second look. It sits at bulk tier, with Hyogonosuke on the illustration, so demand comes from completionists and Lightning-type fans rather than chase hunters. The modelled guide sits at $0.22, down 33% over 30 days on 2,033 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
