# Budew #016/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Budew is a bulk common on paper, but its Itchy Pollen effect, locking out Item cards for a turn, is the kind of disruption that has earned this little Grass Basic repeat tournament play. Ikegami's name draws a few illustration fans, and Gen IV completionists will pick one up regardless. The modelled guide sits at $0.14, up 56% over 30 days on 848 copies traded, with 63 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
